Agreed. Oregon is sloppy and undisciplined and TT has some legit dudes on defense

Ducks' Lanning echoes call to wrap CFP by Jan. 1
Oregon coach Dan Lanning reiterated his desire to see the college football season end Jan. 1 every year.
'The season ends Jan. 1': Dan Lanning reiterates CFP overhaul
Oregon coach Dan Lanning reiterated his desire to see the college football season end Jan. 1 every year, not only to fix the sport's calendar but also to decrease the long layoff between games for playoff teams with a bye.During the final news conference Wednesday before the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl, Lanning was asked about what changes could be made to alleviate issues that have affected multiple CFP teams, including coordinators taking head coaching jobs and the transfer portal opening Jan. 2.
"Every playoff game should be played every single weekend until you finish the season," Lanning said. "Even if it means we start Week 0 or you eliminate a bye, the season ends Jan. 1, and then the portal opens, then coaches that have to move on to their next opportunities get to move to their next opportunities."
Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein (Kentucky) and defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi (California) are juggling their responsibilities for the Ducks and their new schools. So is Ohio State offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Brian Hartline, the new coach at USF.
"Our national championship game this year is Jan. 19, and that's really hard to envision as a coach that's going out and trying to join a new program and start a staff," Lanning said. "It's hard for players to understand what continuity looks like and where they're going to be at and to manage that with visits, the portal, everything else that exists. The clear way to do that is to bump the season up and make sure these playoff games happen a lot faster."
Lanning has said multiple times that playing in the first round last week against James Madison helped his team stay in rhythm, though after the win he lamented that Oregon didn't meet "a standard of performance" during the Ducks' 51-34 victory.
Last season, Oregon was the No. 1 seed in the CFP and had a longer layoff, losing in the quarterfinals 41-21 to Ohio State. All four teams that had a first-round bye last season lost in the quarterfinals.

If it means getting rid of the Bowl tie ins and the long layoffs for the 2nd round of the playoffs, I’m here for it.

I'm more worried about the Bucks being rusty than anything else so a shorter layoff would be great.

Just sayin': Yeah, a 3+ week layoff is too much. However, (on the flip side) if that time was needed to get Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate 100% it was definitely a good thing this year.....

scUMs fans were sooooooo convinced Smith fumbled the ball on his TD catch and run but Underwood clearly scored a TD on his scramble against UT.

So........after the disappointment of last night, for those who want to watch the rest of the playoff, who are people pulling for?
Indiana or Oregon to give the B1G three straight? Texas Tech for something different? Not gonna lie, if the Hoosiers somehow pulled it off it would be one hell of a story. ( I don't think they get past Bama today)

It bothers me that I agree with Lanning, but for those teams that make the CFP they need to get maybe one week off after their respective conference championship game and then let the CFP start.
And of course all games before the semis are played at the home stadium of the higher ranked team. This should be a non-negotiable for any changes to the CFP format.
