Champions league
Can the playoff format be fixed?

Winner of each conference deserves to get in. But all conferences aren't equal.

Arizona State and Boise don't look good next week.

Boise State played the number 1 team in the nation the best out of any team in the nation but now

Arizona State has only lost one game with Leavitt starting

I think if once you get into the playoffs they completely re-seed then that would help with better matchups. Still think that no matter what number you put in there blowouts will happen. We got a shyt ton of blowouts in the 4 team.

There were a lot. MSU and OSU both got shut out. LSU dropped like 87 on OU by halftime, ND was blown out every time. We had that absolute disaster of a title game when UGA won by 60+ vs tcu.

There will def be blowouts in the round of 8, and probably round of 4...conferences aren't build equally and there's a substantial lack of parity in CFB compared to almost every other sport.
We had blowouts in the BCS era as well though

Non-blowouts or blowouts? Id have to think.

Clemson-Bama
Georgia-TCU
Bama-OSU
2015 OSU beat Oregon by 3 TDs (game was close at times tho)
2016,17,18 were all instant classics
2019 Clemson beat Bama by 4 TDs
2020 LSU beat Clemson by 3 TDs (game was never close)
2021 Bama over OSU like you said
2023 UGA like you said
2024 Mich by 3 TDs (game was never close)

Clemson led LSU at the half iirc

Michigan controlled the game and it wasn’t in doubt but it wasn’t a blowout.

You might be right

for mich vs. wash, it guess what constitutes a blow out? more than 3 TD lead? To me, that was very close to a blow out if not blow out as that's how that mich team "blew out" teams by controlling the entire game. Penix couldn't do shyt. But that's fair if you don't consider it a blow out.

It was never close and never an entertaining game for any non-michigan fans

I’ll agree with that. Its a lot of games like that tbh. Thats how Texas vs Clemson felt to me. Same with PSU vs Ohio State & Oregon.
