#1 seed is not the place to be.

Unless I’m mistaken, in the playoff era no number 1 seed has won the national championship.

Just food for thought.

I think everyone understands that this doesn't change anything. I think everyone is just frustrated that there's a bias at play that caused OSU to jump us. Let's be real...it's REALLY good for a program to have an extended run at #1! There was no real reason for us to be jumped.

There’s been 5 CFP finals.

There will be #1 teams that win this thing.

Why do you people hang onto such irrelevant statistics?

That’s what you call a coincidence, not a rule.

So that means there were 2 other teams that weren't #1 that also didn't win...

Most years it doesnt matter. This year it does. There's a clear dropoff after the top 3. The #1 seed gets an easier path to the finals while 2 and 3 play each other.

At #2 we will more than likely have to beat Clemson and OSU

At #1 we will only have to beat one of them.

We beat Clemson like they beat Bama last year- 48-21. Burrow carves them up

If Utah at 4 I say bring them on and would want #1. However, we are where those jokers put us, and if we have to play Clemson, we will ream their asses out

And I would prefer to play Vandy every year instead of Florida. If we can beat Alabama at BDS and UGA in the ATL then we can beat Clemson there or Tempe and tOSU in New Orleans

To be the best, you got to beat the best.
Doesn’t matter what order.

I guess the committee has a poor track record in determining the best team.
