I don't know why everybody's whining about the blowouts because every four team playoff had at least one game that was a blowout. I don't have a problem with the amount of teams or which teams got in, but they need to drop this bracket system, seed by rankings, and go from having the highest seed play the lowest seed on down the line in every round.
Let's not pretend like the 4 team playoff didn't have absolute blowouts everywhere too. UGA hung 65 on TCU, Bama beat Sparty 38-0, Zeke and co stomped on Oregon with heisman winner Mariota, Bama in 2020 beat everyone by a thousand.
"The 12 team playoff isn't about 12 teams capable of winning the National Championship. It's about shutting up the bottom 7 or 8 that would otherwise say they could have been National Champions but weren't allowed to play." From another comment on another video.
Exactly. Indiana an SMU both only had one loss during the regular season. We don't need their fans whining and complaining about being left out and having the whole process get tainted with controversy. Let the teams get blasted, and that way there's no complaining.
I mean yeah you actually have to play the games. Keeping 13-0 Florida state out and putting in bama instead just so they can get bounced in the first round is not a good thing.
@caelahrens9767 yeah they were bounced by the eventual champion Michigan and the game was very close. The only reason why FSU was left out was because Georgia did not take care of their business against Alabama in the SEC championship game. By Alabama winning, they took the SEC spot in the playoffs. By putting them in you had to put Texas in because of the head-to-head match up in week 2 of last season. The other two spots were reserved for Washington and Michigan. If Georgia would have won that game, The committee wouldn't of felt forced to put Texas in and FSU what of had a spot. If they were put in the playoffs they would have not have won a playoff game though. The ACC championship game showed how anemic their offense was against Louisville.
@vhazypiev9698 yes the SEC are undefeated in hypotheticals aren’t they, Tennessee beat Alabama and we saw them get the breaks beat off them, for all we know Alabama would’ve laid another egg and got blown out again
@@bananagrape-nq4ozyeah we can't just put them in because of their past success. They did themselves in by losing to Oklahoma. The committee was prepared to put in four SEC schools.
@@bananagrape-nq4oz have you watched bama this year yea they lost to teams they shouldn't but when it was a big game they whooped ass so yea they would have faired better than sum or Clemson or Indiana
We just gotta see how the game plays out. I don’t like people trying to call games before they happen and debating it when we can’t really know. Penn state is pretty good and Jeanty is incredible. We’ll see how it goes soon.
Sean McDonough was the announcer trashing Indiana during the game. Herbstreet was trashing OSU fans who were angry their coach didn’t use their passing game against Michigan, calling them the lunatic fringe.
Is the Bye really am advantage? The teams with a bye will go a month without playing. They might be a bit rusty compared to the teams that played just the other day
I do think they should keep the home field advantage, it's something for teams to fight for and it gives a different environment for other teams to play that they may have nor will play in again so I'm fine with home field in the first round. I would rather see a reseeding though, that makes waaayyy more sense. This is coming from a PSU fan by the way. Oregon does deserve to get that reseeding. So it should be Oregon-ASU, Georgia-Boise, Texas-OSU, and Notre Dame-PSU. Just my opinion though. Those last two games would be really good ones to watch too.
I like the idea of expanding to 16 teams..home field advantage for 8 teams including 5+ conference champions.. But, if it stays at 12, I like your idea of just reseeding after the first round.
Tennessee didn't belong in the playoff. Also we see now why the SEC refuses to travel to the ACC and Big 10. Texas is the only team with balls apparently
Texas is barely an SEC team. But yeah, for decades they refused to acknowledge that the elements can play a huge part in the game. It’s not easy to have a high flying offense in freezing temps
Espn spent all weekend freaking out because for the 1st time the sec didn't have all the advantages they didn't have the most teams in they aren't playing a "neutral site" game 10 minutes away from home
I don't have a problem with the auto-bids. March Madness has auto bids. IMO, the problem is automatic seeding. Again, in March Madness, you win a conference tournament and your in but you can be any seed.
As a ND fan, both ND and UGA have excellent defenses and very suspect offenses, so it will be interesting if this will be a low scoring grid it out game determined by turnovers.
I think the FBS should go to the FCS playoff system. It’s a 4018 playoff the 16 best teams get a first round by and are seated one through 16. Then the other 32 teams play first round game. Plus, it doesn’t matter if you win your conference championship or not if you get the bye example three of the top four teams this year in FCS were from the big sky then the other one was from the Missouri Valley
Next time send Oregon, Penn State/Notre Dame, Texas, and Georgia straight to New Years bowl games. #1 team gets the Rose Bowl, #2 gets the bowl game that follows. Another note, half of the NFL Super Bowl games have been blow outs, same could be said for the College Football's NATY games.
CFB playoffs still need the other conferences/teams to vote for the playoffs, so they will never simply take the Top 12 teams as these Conferences might miss the playoffs altogether. What they should do is no guarantee to the Conference Champions of a Top 4 Seed, but simply guarantee them a spot in the Top 12. In this case Boise St & ASU probably would've been $10 & #11 respectively vs. #3 & #4.
i agree. the format is absolutely terrible. the format and seedings dont represent the reason the cfp committee explained the reasons for their decisions. there is no wins matter. this year, the cfp showed that loses matter, and that is just wrong. we want as fans exciting competative games and not blowouts that are so predictable, and that reagular season wins matter. even go as far as conference championships should matter, yet teams winning their conference championships have tougher opponents. It's just terrible and sad.
16 team playoff. Rank the best 16 teams. No Byes, No autobids. 1st round home playoff games. 1st round games would probably be a bit weak, but there could be a few gems. But 2nd round and moving forward would all be very competitive games.
@acatwithwiskers9273 Yes. There is no need for all this reseeding and autobids. I like the idea of an expanded playoff if they do it right. I want a cfp with 16 teams!
Move the playoff to 16 teams with the top 4 conference champions getting a home playoff game. The top 4 non-conference champions getting a home game as well. Then follow the seeding for the next round. As for the non playoff bowl games, get rid of them because no one wants to play in them anymore.
I like the idea of giving five conference champions automatic berths, but not all the byes. Everyone knew it was going to lead to it being unfair and that's exactly what's happening. As a Penn State fan, I'm not complaining, but they really shouldn't have had (at least on paper) an easy path to the semifinals. We also have three of the four bye teams being underdogs and the fourth being a slight favorite.
Here is my take: If you leave out SMU or Indiana for Alabama or Miam it’s devalues the regular season. As it sets a standard that just because you play in a hard conference you should make the playoffs. Bama lost to Oklahoma and Vanderbilt two unraked teams. Just because you play in the SEC or the BIG TEN doesn’t give you an excuse to lose to a unranked team.
@@Mistaknightman it's irrelevant when tenesse cooked Alabama and tenesse got literally blown out in the first have by OSU simply bama isn't good enough and neither is Tennessee. There is nothing special about the SEC Texas is good and Georgia is with their QB. That's it, rest of those teams are average.
What if Boise State and ASU prove you wrong and win their games? Then what? Is it still a bad format? Boise State was more competitive against Oregon than Penn State was. And Boise State did it @ Oregon. Penn State got to play them in Indianapolis, where they had the majority of the crowd. What if the Broncos win? Arizona State is a seriously good team right now and they have been all season. They destroyed the Iowa State team who won @ Iowa. They also beat BYU, who won @ SMU. Boise State also beat 8-4 Washington State, who beat 8-4 Texas Tech and won @ Washington. The Washington who beat Michigan. Who won @ Ohio State. Boise State also beat UNLV twice. The UNLV who finished 11-3 and won @ P4 teams Kansas and Houston. Kansas in particular because they beat Iowa State, BYU, AND Colorado. UNLV’s only other loss is to Syracuse, which beat Miami and knocked them out of playoff contention. May I remind you that Boise State is 3-0 all time in Fiesta Bowls and historically has been a “Giant” slayer. Who is Texas’s quality win that without a doubt proves their “superiority “ over ASU? Clemson? I’d argue that ASU’s wins over BYU and Iowa State are better wins than Texas beating Clemson. Clemson is 10-4. Iowa State is 10-3 and BYU is 10-2.
Let's keep it real about the SEC: Over the last 2 decades, TN has been mid in the SEC (i.e. Minn, Illinois or Iowa in the Big Ten). OSU has been the Bama of the Big Ten. So, would the Big Ten be surprised if Bama took out Iowa by 3 TD's in a bowl? No.
SEC DON'T PLAY COLD BALL ... EVERYONE CAN PLAY WELL TO OK IN HEAT. TURN THE TEMPERATURE TO 20 AND BELOW AND THE SOUTH LOOKS LIKE MIAMI IN KANSAS CITY LAST YEAR. NO MAS ...
@JakeWilson-gh7hj why include that many teams. There's not a lot of parity in college football like the NFL. There's only a certain amount of teams that have a legitimate chance of winning It all .The only reason why there was an expansion in the playoffs is to prevent fans from whining that they're inferior teams didn't get a chance to compete.
@@ChrisSadowski-pp1np because teams like 2006 Boise State, 2008 Utah, and 2017 UCF have gone undefeated while BCS / New Years' 6 bowls without having a shot to win the national championship
@@caelahrens9767 The NBA and NFL used to have seading rules that worked to bypass teams from the same division as long as possible. That would be kinda hard this year with three teams from the Big 10 still in the hunt. I'm kind of dumbfounded that OSU is the favorite here.
Boise State's offensive Line is loaded. Boise States Defensive Line is loaded. People just don't know this because they don't pay attention. Oh yeah and Boise has Ashton Jeanty and doesn't usually turn the ball over. I predict a Boise State win.
I thought it was funny that Tennessee kept talking crap about how the cold wouldn’t get to them because before the game I checked, and none of their players are from north of Baltimore like they did have a few cold weather players like a guy from the Appalachian Mountains and a couple from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, which gets cold, but other than thateveryone is from the south east or Southern California/Arizona
I thought Tennessee was going to throw the goal posts in the river and take over the Shoe? You said that with a smirk on your face. You also said it was going to be close. It wasn't at all. Ohio State curb stomped them.
Oh yeah also it is funny how Dabo who backed into the playoffs because of a horrible conference with the best team choking near the end gave them a trip to the conference title game and a bid. Then besides beating a team who came back on them cause they aren't good, they probably were crazy enough to listen to him say SMU was a playoff team? Yep that made a team that usually chokes look like a powerhouse. Bad selections period so to defend teams it's clear didn't deserve to be there on record , you gotta be high.
and they want to ADD more teams to this playoff ??? NO WAY this shows there are TOO MANY weak teams as it is eight is all we need !!! clearly the last 4 teams IN ,had NO chance , you think MORE will make it better ? its NOT march Madness there are NO UPSETS
Buddy there was blowouts when there was 2 teams. Nobody hates their own sport more than college football fans. You literally just don’t want to watch football.
I still have the Buckeyes winning the national championship. Georgia has a breeze path. None of 3 them teams have a chance vs them Penn St, Notre Dame or Boise State are in the league of them DAWGS.
Sorry but I think the notre dame and psu games will be competitive georgia losing their qb will hurt also I got texas beating ohio state osu lost to Michigan they are not beating texas
I think it's great we finally got a tournament in football! But the way they did the seating was so messed up! I think we should go to 16 teams for a true balance tournament with no buys! And rank them according to the AP poll, the second round is going to be messed up because of these two teams that don't belong there
Wow just read an article from Jordan Mendoza a writer from Yahoo Sports and he is absolutely smoking weed at a high level. He had the nerve to say Kirk Herbstriet had it wrong that SEC teams should be in instead of Indiana and SMU. He absolutely doesn't know college football , the SEC is the best league period top to bottom, we don't need to change anything. Those teams he's defending that will always get blown out in the playoffs need to schedule teams with a pulse , not the SEC. Besides Tennessee with a green qb and playing a stacked NIL team Ohio State ,everyone SEC won and that's not even mentioning #2 Georgia still will play soon. Also anytime Bama is in they either win or are more than competitive. So haters no the facts and watch how strength of schedule , not fake wins will matter going forward .
QBs are what caused these losses except Clemson. IU, SMU and Tennessee’ defenses all played good but terrible QB play put their defenses in terrible positions. In reality if SMU didn’t turn the ball over that would’ve been a close game. If IUs QB was more aggressive it would’ve been a close game, if Tennessee was able to get first downs and stay on the field close game, Clemson’s defense let them down. Also Boise State isn’t an easy win for Oregon 😂 Oregon barely beat Boise State
What 14 teams????? 😂 there’s never more than 6 serious countered in college ball 8 always seemed like the right number covers for the outlier years of 6 serious teams also leaves room for undefeated small schools to at least get a shot
Can people stop acting like the weather is making a difference with teams that are native to the north?! Most of the elite players in college football come from the southern half of the country or places like California. They do not just magically get acclimated to their environment after playing a few games in their career in coldish weather when most of the time their training is 80% indoors or most of their lives they are playing football in the south or warmer weather. Most of the elite stars in the Big Ten come from the south. Do these Big Ten teams have some esoteric or mystical secret knowledge on how to play better in the cold?? No, it is absolutely the most idiotic take I have seen in arguments for why a team does better in any given location. You might as well try to reason how many ducks will fart on a pond for any given day if we are going to start using these nonsense arguments.
@@doctorpepper5088 In the four team championship we had blowouts routinely each year. FWIW i think that there is usually a big gap between the top 4-6 and teams ranked in the second 10. I'll wait until next week and the finals before I discuss any tweaks.
@@doctorpepper5088I don’t know where people get this idea from. Bama got blown out by Clemson in a 4 team playoff. They should’ve been good enough to not get blown out if they were a top 4 team. I mean they got blown out THIS YEAR by 6-6 Oklahoma.
Terrible matchups because easy schedules were awarded. Think Arizona St. would have a bye if they were in the SEC. Would Oregon be undefeated. Boise st....really???
It's only gotten better. We went from just two teams being put in the championship game to having a four team playoff, to expanding it to 12 so fans of inferior teams don't complain.
Really was a letdown tbh. Was hoping for more competitive games. Even the Ohio State game, I thought might be more competitive. Maybe people were right about SMU and Indiana lol; I know I thought SMU earned their spot
It shouldn't be 12 teams. It should be 16 teams with no bye. All teams play till they lose. 8 games, the first round, 4 games, the second round, 2 games, the third round, followed by the championship game. Same number of rounds as this 12 team playoff, bowls get their games, no bye for the conference champs. It should be the 16 top rated teams in the playoffs.
They are the last 4 in. The only team with a gripe is Clemson as a conference champion but don’t lose 3 games and you’ll have a better seed. But honestly they should have hosted over Ohio State. Ohio state at Clemson SMU at Texas Tennessee at Penn State IU at Notre Dame Would have been a much better first round. But Clemson obviously needed to be the last seed because they weren’t otherwise in the field which literally made them last team in.
@@HolySpicoli My main gripe is the ticket allocation of only 3,500 tickets in a stadiums with over 100k capacity. Texas, OSU and PSU all have stadiums with over 100k capacity while ND stadium holds over 80k. The seeding is basically a beauty contest decided by the committee since these teams do not play common opponents from common conferences. Home field advantage in the NFL makes sense since they all play common opponents in the same league. The home team also controls the PA systems and the LED lights. I believe the Texas LED screen was blasting distracting lights while the opposing team kicker was making his field goal attempt.
Indiana was supposed to play Louisville this year and next year in addition to the neutral site game that occurred last year. They used the Big 10 adding Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA as the reason to drop those games. Louisville got replaced with an FCS team. Louisville is in the ACC and was beyond horrible this year, so Indiana would probably would have won by at least 30, but it is at least a somewhat harder game than FIU, Charlotte, and Western Illinois.

Clemson? I’d argue that ASU’s wins over BYU and Iowa State are better wins than Texas beating Clemson. Clemson is 10-4. Iowa State is 10-3 and BYU is 10-2.
Let's keep it real about the SEC: Over the last 2 decades, TN has been mid in the SEC (i.e. Minn, Illinois or Iowa in the Big Ten). OSU has been the Bama of the Big Ten. So, would the Big Ten be surprised if Bama took out Iowa by 3 TD's in a bowl? No.
SEC DON'T PLAY COLD BALL ... EVERYONE CAN PLAY WELL TO OK IN HEAT.
TURN THE TEMPERATURE TO 20 AND BELOW AND THE SOUTH LOOKS LIKE MIAMI IN KANSAS CITY LAST YEAR. NO MAS ...
Just go 16 teams like FCS has done for 40 years. Campus sites all the way until title game. Seed them 1 to 16. Super easy fix. The bowl system sucks
No they won't go above 14. That way at least two schools get byes.
FCS is 24 teams, 8 byes, every conference champ gets in, great format
@JakeWilson-gh7hj why include that many teams. There's not a lot of parity in college football like the NFL. There's only a certain amount of teams that have a legitimate chance of winning It all .The only reason why there was an expansion in the playoffs is to prevent fans from whining that they're inferior teams didn't get a chance to compete.
@@JakeWilson-gh7hj I forgot they expanded that. Also play less regular season games I believe
@@ChrisSadowski-pp1np because teams like 2006 Boise State, 2008 Utah, and 2017 UCF have gone undefeated while BCS / New Years' 6 bowls without having a shot to win the national championship
I have not issues with the top four conference champs getting a bye, but I think there should be reseeding after the first round.
I agree.The conference championships need to mean something, but we've got to avoid these absurd second round matchups.
You realize it would still be Ohio state vs Oregon right?
@@caelahrens9767 The NBA and NFL used to have seading rules that worked to bypass teams from the same division as long as possible. That would be kinda hard this year with three teams from the Big 10 still in the hunt.
I'm kind of dumbfounded that OSU is the favorite here.
@@caelahrens9767 I'd disregard championships when reseeding. So it would be Oregon vs ASU and Ohio State would be playing Penn State.
@ asu was the 4… Ohio state was the 8
I have to find humor…the cold froze everything for Tennessee players.
Boise State's offensive Line is loaded. Boise States Defensive Line is loaded. People just don't know this because they don't pay attention. Oh yeah and Boise has Ashton Jeanty and doesn't usually turn the ball over. I predict a Boise State win.
I thought it was funny that Tennessee kept talking crap about how the cold wouldn’t get to them because before the game I checked, and none of their players are from north of Baltimore like they did have a few cold weather players like a guy from the Appalachian Mountains and a couple from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, which gets cold, but other than thateveryone is from the south east or Southern California/Arizona
I thought Tennessee was going to throw the goal posts in the river and take over the Shoe? You said that with a smirk on your face. You also said it was going to be close. It wasn't at all. Ohio State curb stomped them.
That was a bunch of really boring football games.
Oh yeah also it is funny how Dabo who backed into the playoffs because of a horrible conference with the best team choking near the end gave them a trip to the conference title game and a bid. Then besides beating a team who came back on them cause they aren't good, they probably were crazy enough to listen to him say SMU was a playoff team? Yep that made a team that usually chokes look like a powerhouse. Bad selections period so to defend teams it's clear didn't deserve to be there on record , you gotta be high.
As an Oregon and bsu fan. Oregon does not want to play bsu
“Unlv held jeanty to 3.5 yards a carry” yeah it was actually 6.5 over 32 carries last time they played but nice lie though
12 teams were too many, 8 teams were better
Georgia has not been in the best in the SEC for the past 5 years when they only win 2 SEC championships, you're yapping DG
what if georgia is trolling and beck is fine
People pretend like bama should have been in when tenesse beat them and tenesse got smoked ..
Two scores is not a blowout.
That 4 team parlay….
It’s almost like the 4 team playoff was perfectly fine and we shouldn’t be letting these shitty teams into the playoff just to get blown out
OSU’s gonna win it all if they can get by oregon this time
Well at least we got some pretenders out
Boise and Arizona State still in. sigh
Give conference champs an automatic bid but not a bye, seed teams according to end of season rankings.
and they want to ADD more teams to this playoff ??? NO WAY this shows there are TOO MANY weak teams as it is eight is all we need !!! clearly the last 4 teams IN ,had NO chance , you think MORE will make it better ? its NOT march Madness there are NO UPSETS
😂😂
Buddy there was blowouts when there was 2 teams. Nobody hates their own sport more than college football fans. You literally just don’t want to watch football.
Expand to 14 teams. Get the top 14 teams in and THEN seed as necessary. Get rid of the BIG 12/conferences getting automatic 1st round bye.
PSU/BSU Fiesta Bowl is funny. PSU is 7-0 and BSU 3-0 in Fiesta Bowls! WHO Ya trust more?
It is what it isn't.
I still have the Buckeyes winning the national championship. Georgia has a breeze path. None of 3 them teams have a chance vs them Penn St, Notre Dame or Boise State are in the league of them DAWGS.
Sorry but I think the notre dame and psu games will be competitive georgia losing their qb will hurt also I got texas beating ohio state osu lost to Michigan they are not beating texas
I think it's great we finally got a tournament in football! But the way they did the seating was so messed up! I think we should go to 16 teams for a true balance tournament with no buys! And rank them according to the AP poll, the second round is going to be messed up because of these two teams that don't belong there
Wow just read an article from Jordan Mendoza a writer from Yahoo Sports and he is absolutely smoking weed at a high level. He had the nerve to say Kirk Herbstriet had it wrong that SEC teams should be in instead of Indiana and SMU. He absolutely doesn't know college football , the SEC is the best league period top to bottom, we don't need to change anything. Those teams he's defending that will always get blown out in the playoffs need to schedule teams with a pulse , not the SEC. Besides Tennessee with a green qb and playing a stacked NIL team Ohio State ,everyone SEC won and that's not even mentioning #2 Georgia still will play soon. Also anytime Bama is in they either win or are more than competitive. So haters no the facts and watch how strength of schedule , not fake wins will matter going forward .
i like Oregons chances to beat OSU again
QBs are what caused these losses except Clemson. IU, SMU and Tennessee’ defenses all played good but terrible QB play put their defenses in terrible positions. In reality if SMU didn’t turn the ball over that would’ve been a close game. If IUs QB was more aggressive it would’ve been a close game, if Tennessee was able to get first downs and stay on the field close game, Clemson’s defense let them down.
Also Boise State isn’t an easy win for Oregon 😂 Oregon barely beat Boise State
What 14 teams????? 😂 there’s never more than 6 serious countered in college ball 8 always seemed like the right number covers for the outlier years of 6 serious teams also leaves room for undefeated small schools to at least get a shot
Goto 16, 1 plays 16
I was at the shoe and that place was rocking.
It wasnt too cold tbh
What a waste of money. Go blue
@@adamsmith583speaking of waste of money… anyone who bet Michigan to make the playoffs 😉
Even if bama and ole miss got in at 10 and 11. Neither of them are winning
You say Penn State gets a much better draw. Lets watch the games before we say that stuff.
So the five and six seeds have the easiest path in! That's completely bonkers!
Can people stop acting like the weather is making a difference with teams that are native to the north?! Most of the elite players in college football come from the southern half of the country or places like California. They do not just magically get acclimated to their environment after playing a few games in their career in coldish weather when most of the time their training is 80% indoors or most of their lives they are playing football in the south or warmer weather. Most of the elite stars in the Big Ten come from the south. Do these Big Ten teams have some esoteric or mystical secret knowledge on how to play better in the cold?? No, it is absolutely the most idiotic take I have seen in arguments for why a team does better in any given location. You might as well try to reason how many ducks will fart on a pond for any given day if we are going to start using these nonsense arguments.
Maybe because the home teams were higher seed, better teams.
If ur in the final 12 you should be good enough. Not be blown out.
@@doctorpepper5088 then I guess it’s good a team that was blown out by a 6 win team was left out.
@@doctorpepper5088 In the four team championship we had blowouts routinely each year. FWIW i think that there is usually a big gap between the top 4-6 and teams ranked in the second 10.
I'll wait until next week and the finals before I discuss any tweaks.
@@doctorpepper5088I don’t know where people get this idea from. Bama got blown out by Clemson in a 4 team playoff. They should’ve been good enough to not get blown out if they were a top 4 team. I mean they got blown out THIS YEAR by 6-6 Oklahoma.
Playoffs games were horrible. 😊😊😊😊
Terrible matchups because easy schedules were awarded. Think Arizona St. would have a bye if they were in the SEC. Would Oregon be undefeated. Boise st....really???
The third best SEC team had their opportunity and proved that they didn't belong. OSU beat them worse than they did Indiana
Sec still undefeated in hypotheticals. Do you think the SEC champ would need a million overtime’s to beat Georgia tech at home?… really???
O-H
The SEC fanboys pissed me off so much, I had to root for Ohio St
I-O
College football has become pathetic.
It's only gotten better. We went from just two teams being put in the championship game to having a four team playoff, to expanding it to 12 so fans of inferior teams don't complain.
"Oregon should be able to pick their opponent." That's laughable. Stick to politics buddy.
Really was a letdown tbh. Was hoping for more competitive games. Even the Ohio State game, I thought might be more competitive. Maybe people were right about SMU and Indiana lol; I know I thought SMU earned their spot
They need to not have home field advantage if they don't want constant blowouts in the first round and just do neutral sits
no
It shouldn't be 12 teams. It should be 16 teams with no bye. All teams play till they lose. 8 games, the first round, 4 games, the second round, 2 games, the third round, followed by the championship game. Same number of rounds as this 12 team playoff, bowls get their games, no bye for the conference champs. It should be the 16 top rated teams in the playoffs.
They should have first round games at neutral sites. CFP first round visiting teams were only allocated 3,500 tickets and that's not a fair allotment.
They are the last 4 in. The only team with a gripe is Clemson as a conference champion but don’t lose 3 games and you’ll have a better seed. But honestly they should have hosted over Ohio State.
Ohio state at Clemson
SMU at Texas
Tennessee at Penn State
IU at Notre Dame
Would have been a much better first round. But Clemson obviously needed to be the last seed because they weren’t otherwise in the field which literally made them last team in.
@@HolySpicoli My main gripe is the ticket allocation of only 3,500 tickets in a stadiums with over 100k capacity. Texas, OSU and PSU all have stadiums with over 100k capacity while ND stadium holds over 80k. The seeding is basically a beauty contest decided by the committee since these teams do not play common opponents from common conferences. Home field advantage in the NFL makes sense since they all play common opponents in the same league. The home team also controls the PA systems and the LED lights. I believe the Texas LED screen was blasting distracting lights while the opposing team kicker was making his field goal attempt.
Boise St. gonna win against Penn St. they’re playing in the fiesta bowl it’s practically a guaranteed win for them.
Penn state has also never lost in the fiesta bowl easy psu win
Unstoppable force vs immovable object then.
BYU should’ve been in and not Bama over SMU.. they were the ONLY team to beat BYU regular season.
BYU wasn't that good.
BYU lost asu Wdym lol
ASU!!!!!
Go PSU
Indiana was supposed to play Louisville this year and next year in addition to the neutral site game that occurred last year. They used the Big 10 adding Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA as the reason to drop those games. Louisville got replaced with an FCS team. Louisville is in the ACC and was beyond horrible this year, so Indiana would probably would have won by at least 30, but it is at least a somewhat harder game than FIU, Charlotte, and Western Illinois.
They waxed kentucky
This is a thorough and shameless ball-not-knower
😊
I don’t understand why Penn state lost the big ten championship and got rewarded for it
@ they have the easier first two games imaginable
@@ColonelCarnage That’s the product of a bad format, the committee didn’t “reward” them
clemson deserved to get byes all the way to the championship game due to strength of schedule!!
