I don't understand the appeal for Ohio State. They played 6 games and shouldn't have even played that if the conference didn't change it's rules least minute.

It should be Bama, Clemson, ND and Texas A&M.

I wish Cincinnati would get a shot but they won't

Who has ohio state played that's anywhere near that caliber?


They have not, but they are still undefeated as are all the other teams sans Clemson.

There is no one more deserving than the four I posted because of that. Notre Dame got stomped today. A&M got stomped even worse earlier in the season

1 bama
2 Clemson
3 Ohio St.
4 ND

Unfortunately.

I wish the committee would grow some balls and/or throw away the "blue blood"/$ bias and put in the ****s or Cincinnati. Hell, I think Coastal Carolina could stay within 6 TDs as well as any other potential 4 seed.

A&M should be in if they’re going to allow in a ND team that just got worked by Clemson. Technically A&M has the better resume AND loss.

This is a television production as much as anything and if you think ESPN, who basically runs the playoff, is going to pass on a Bama-ND matchup for Bama-A&M then you are completely delusional.

ok, lay it out for me why Cincinnati is more deserving than coastal Carolina. Because I'm looking at most SOS sites and they're both in the same range.

Because cincy actually played their conference championship. Coastal could have played but chose not to. They shouldn’t get rewarded for that.

and that is where the inconsistency in people rankings begin. Your #3 team has played six games. "they shouldn't get rewarded for that" right back at you.

Cincy needed to dominate yesterday vs Tulsa to have a chance. Having to win on a last second fg doesn’t get them in.

I agree.

They’re going to jump Oklahoma or Cincinnati over A&M because of their conference championship, using that as a way to say “oh well it wasn’t even between Notre Dame and A&M for the 4th spot!”

It’s all bullshite.

Why do people keep thinking florida will be above us? They have 3 losses including one at home to a mediocre team that just reached .500

"But they beat you!"

Right, and also have 3 losses.

Dumb. That third loss came in the CCG, that you failed to make. They were higher than you before this game and nothing happened this weekend to change that. It's not rocket science

In 2018 we lost the seccg that florida failed to make. We beat florida by multiple tds and both teams had the same amount of losses but we had one more win. Despite that we finished tied in one poll and behind them in another.

Them beating us when we had a jv squad with no daniels doesn't cancel the fact they have 3 losses.

I just don't believe Ohio State deserves a spot playing only 5 regular season games.

They've played 4 less regular season games than Clemson, Notre Dame, Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Georgia, Coastal Carolina, BYU, etc...

And they were ranked in the top 3 weeks ago, when other teams had played 5-6 games already and Ohio State just had won their first game to go 1-0.

My problem is not with Ohio State. Its with the Big 10 and the CFP.

I just don't think they deserve a shot.



I agree with every single bit of this. Committee will have them in, but they shouldn't. Big 10 doesn't deserve it.
