[HIT BY SPIKES]

You can cut the hate of the Irish in this thread with an Argentinian chainsaw.

 

If style points count in college in terms of size of victories, should style points not also count in losses?

 

Many of you seem to conveniently forget that Notre Dame lost their first and second game of the season against the #10 and #16 ranked teams by a combined total of 4 damn points.

 

'Bama who yes played a much more difficult schedule lost 3 games and two of those losses were by 14 and 21 points and one of those losses was to an unranked team.

 

So you can shove your jealousness of the Irish and fake outrage that ND is somehow favoured due to their history and non-conference alliance.

I think Notre Dame should have to join a Conference or be ineligible.  They make things even more apples to oranges than they already are, and their fake rivalries are an advantage.  They game the schedule every year and it finally came back to bite them.

 

Seeding does annoy me though and I cant help but always suspect that they push certain match-ups or make easier roads for teams.

 

I believe that there should be hard slots for the teams.  Base it on a ranking, I would even go back to a quantified computer calculation.  Top 4 Conference winners get the first 4 spots, the next Conference winner gets an auto-bid, and the rest filled by the committee, but slotted based on the computer ranking.  This would put importance back into Conference championships.  It would also take a lot of the mystery out of it.  

 

And everything would be pretty fine right now, but Notre Dame's awful schedule has ruined everything.

 

In principle like your model, the problem is in reality there are not four top conferences. There are two. The SEC and the BigTen. Eventually they will swallow the others up. The BigTen will essentially become the North & Western Conference and the SEC will swallow up everything in the south east (most of the ACC in particular). But that is going to take some time and in the meantime I don't know what the answer is.

The answer is both simple and impossible.  There are about 120 FBS teams.  Divide them into 8 15 team geographic divisions.  The top 2 teams in each division play for a division championship and the 8 champs make the  playoffs.  Settle it on the field.  No committee, no rankings, no BS.

Yea agree, that would work.
