Yeah the CFB playoff will need to take an L on this.
It took an L by expanding to 12 teams

6-8 teams would be ideal as there's really only like 4-5 teams that have a real shot anyway (and that's a stretch), but the extra few teams could be included to placate the whiners.

In the past you would be correct.

However now due to transfers and NIL, a team could be ranked 8th or so and still be legit

Everyone has almost 2 losses

There's more parity but the top recruiting teams will have a real shot imo:

Oregon
UGA
Ohio State
Texas

Bama is out this year but they would be a contender if in.

one of the 4 teams mentioned above will win it this year.

I'd be surprised to see any other team in the final 4, much less the finals.

Doesn’t matter if you "be surprised".
Tezas and Ohio state are not in the top 4 seeds.

So just going by your logic, they shouldn't be in this year

Actually the field is wide open. Georgia may not even have their starting qb, ohio state lost to Michigan and Ryan day can never win the big won and they've had close games this year. Texas has scored over 20 points only once in their past 4 games.

After the first round neutral site games and teams will be rested and game planning

Seeding is subjective with the BS committee, and yeah it happens that teams with the best shot of winning don't make the playoffs with a smaller field (see UGA last year although I think Michigan still would've won it all, UGA probably was the toughest opponent they could've faced).

So yes, I would say Texas and especially Ohio State don't deserve to be playoff teams despite having the talent to win it all.

And as an example, Bama probably would have had a better shot than 8 of the teams in the playoffs this year (SMU, AZ St, Clemson, Indiana, etc) but didn't deserve to be in and got left out.

Talent and depth is college football. While there's more parity than before, people are acting like it's NFL level parity where the worst team could possibly beat the best team at any time. It's not close to that, especially in big playoff games where the opponent won't be overlooked.

EDIT: I also mentioned 6-8 seeds would've been fine to expand to, not 12. That was my point not keeping it at 4, which I thought was too small of a window.

So Ohio State would have been in even at 6 teams

Shut up, man.

What's the point of you bringing up whole other subjects when the discussion is not even about that?

We been posting here 20 yrs and you're childish.

Ryan Day has a michigan problem and lost close to Oregon, which is one of the other main contenders.

Georgia might be better without Beck, he was trash. Stockton is a wild card but seems to be a gamer. Beck was a p*ssy.
