100% this.

the deflection makes ZERO sense.

Bama's issue wasn't nonconference opponents, it was trash conference opponents.
fukking gaslighters.

Deflect and Blame everything but their two bad losses.

Today shows how much crybaby fanbases college football has. Pathetic led by coaches and ADs.

The 12 teams is the right amount. They don't need to expand...

But they probably do need to modify it. I'd take some subjectivity out of it. Eliminate conference championship games, but even if you don't, conference championship winners get automatic berths and home games, like NFL divisions. So the four byes going to highest ranked conference winners is cool, but Clemson should have a home game...

After that, the best of the rest should make it. So based on this year, I'd have the field as:

(Byes)
1 Oregon
2 Georgia
3 Boise State
4 Arizona State

(Field)
12 SMU at 5 Clemson
11 Indiana at 6 Texas
10 Tennessee at 7 Penn State
9 Ohio State at 8 Notre Dame

Conference champions should get a home game. They should also re-seed after rounds, so the lowest remaining seed should get Oregon, highest remaining seed should get Arizona State...

But this is my only major gripe, I'm fukking with the 12-team playoff...

There is no great college football team this year.

Oregon has the best QB but probably the weakest oline or dline

Georgia, Texas OSU may have better oline and dline but terrible QB play

I'd still like a system where all FBS Conference Champions get in. Telling you an March Madness thing for football would be bonkers. It would also give lesser conferences something to really play for.

Goto 16 and kill the conference title games.

What a shytshow. The process is severely flawed.

Boise state the 3 seed :comeon: 2 ACC teams get in essentially aided by losing to each other. And Arizona state with a bye :laff:

The elephant in the room is they are holding onto equal treatment to conference winners, when each conference CLEARLY ain’t the same. shyt is like rewarding a boxer who schedules tomatoe cans to ‘keep his zero’

Serious question. Very serious question; what is the point of scheduling ANY difficult games. Just chose teams you know you can beat and position yourself in a cake walk schedule and voila you’re practically guaranteed to be in there

A lot of these power conferences aren't as strong as the past.
I don't know if you are talking about Bama, but there problem wasn't non conference games. :skip:

UGA is the only playoff school with the most ranked wins this season of teams currently ranked. They would have been the ONLY team IMO who should have gotten in had they only had 3 losses and didn't win their conference (4 Top 13 wins)

Wins vs AP/Coaches Poll Top 25 CURRENTLY Ranked Teams

UGA - 4 (Texas 2x, Clemson, Tennessee)
Oregon - 3 (OSU, Penn State, Illinois)
Ohio State - 2 (Penn State and Indiana)
Arizona State - 2 (BYU, Iowa State)

Tennessee - 1 (Alabama)
Clemson - 1 (SMU)
Boise State - 1 (UNLV)
Notre Dame - 1 (Army)
Penn State - 1 (Illinois)
Texas - 0
SMU - 0
Indiana - 0

You know what, I could get with this, too. 10 automatic bids to the 10 conference winners, then the best 6 teams fill out the rest, no conference championship games. Mf's don't like it, win your conference and you have nothing to cry about...

Matter fact, since Pac12 will be football legit as a conference in '26, that'll be 10 FBS conferences. Make it 10 automatic bids for conference champions, then 10 at-large bids:

1 Oregon (13-0)
2 Georgia (11-2)
3 Boise State (12-1)
4 Arizona State (11-2)
5 Clemson (10-3)
6 Army (11-1)
7 Marshall (10-3)
8 Ohio (9-3)
9 Jacksonville State (9-4)
.........................
10 Texas (11-2)
11 Penn State (11-2)
12 Notre Dame (11-1)
...............
13 Ohio State (10-2)
14 Tennessee (10-2)
15 Indiana (11-1)
16 SMU (11-2)
17 Alabama (9-3)
18 Miami (10-2)
19 Ole Miss (9-3)
20 South Carolina (9-3)

Figure out the bye shyt later...

Under this format all the deserving teams still get in. All the conference champions get in. All of the bubble teams get in. I don't know who could complain about this format, it's still 6 SEC and 4 B1G, that's still 50% of the field...

Take away the conference championship game and have winning your 12-game schedule truly matter. Have all conferences play 9 conference games...

:myman:


this would also up the ante to play some good teams out of conference if you want one of the 6 at large berths.
