row_33 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 2 hours ago, Bill from NYC said: Interesting. I never even considered the possibility that Bama has a bigger fan base than Notre Dame. Not ever. I see at least 10 Notre Dame shirts, hats, or jackets to every 1 that says Alabama. I would think that this would be the case in 48 other states, even down south whereas each SEC school has its own fan base. ND's national base is nothing compared to what it was up to the early 1990s the 0 or 1 loss champion of the SEC has a permanent spot in the final 4 playoff structure of college football, that's not even up for discussion. putting a second SEC team in or having to ignore the winner of the SEC title game adds a wrinkle on occasion there better not be a serious fan of NCAA F arguing Bama doesn't deserve the top spot if it runs the table, maybe a slight argument to make if they lose to Georgia.

Go back to two and if there is a third undefeated have a game between 2nd and 3rd to get to the final this season you have three potential undefeated and none of the other teams deserves a playoff spot Edited November 28, 2018 by row_33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I just think you will have even more arguing about who should get in with 8 teams. You start letting in 2 loss and 3 loss teams, and it muddies it even further. I just don’t there are 8 teams who reasonably could win the title most seasons. I would maybe advocate for 6, with one of them being a non power 5. The best non power 5 gets a bid.

I agree and do however think that expanded playoffs in general would favor teams with: 1) The most depth. 2) The best coach. This would (imo) give an edge to Alabama and Ohio State. Again, what bothers me the most about expansion is the additional games. In fact, I wish they would abolish conference championship games even without expansion. Again, jmo.

The conference championship games this weekend are largely pointless. Instead of osu- northwestern we should have osu-Oklahoma. Crown the conf champion who has the best record instead. And play the game that weekend that actually will determine the playoff instead of saying osu has to beat northwestern by 59 to get in or something.

longtimebillsfan Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I believe it is. I am a long time Penn State fan and I am still burning about them not making the final four a couple of years ago when the beat the Buckeyes and then got passed over by THE Ohio State. The results on the field should determine who is in the playoffs. (I know, I may just be bitter). It seams that the committee bends over backwards to get them into the final four. today's announcement will be interesting. To me, it is clear that the Sooners should be the fourth playoff team. There is still an argument that Georgia could still be in the playoffs. I know this won't happen, but they may be one of the best teams this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t get in with two losses. The same thing happened to osu last year who was a 2 loss conf champ. Head to head and conf champ tiebreakers only matter in their criteria when there is a tie. There wasn’t. Edited December 2, 2018 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
