The committee couldn’t make it any clearer: cancel the Clemson game

And any other remotely tough OOC game.

SOS is totally irrelevant.

The ONLY thing that matters is straight W and L.

Play a cream puff OOC schedule. Win games.

Bama is out because they got waxxed by a terrible Oklahoma team with their own destiny in their hands.

Ole Miss same thing to Florida. Neither deserved to make it in.

Agree with this. If people question it, send their complaints to the committee. The precedent is set.

Only problem is you need some challenge before SEC play.

Ole Miss played nothing but creampuffs and weren't ready wasn't ready when it got punched in the mouth in SEC play.

I am for the Clemson game WITH a warmup game before.

However, I hate doing it but after today, must change my mind . If SOS means nothing, then the incentive is for LSU to drop Clemson.

The networks aren't going to like this so I bet they put pressure on CFP to change the formula some.

The Clemson series will not be cancelled and the NCAA has nothing to do with the CFP.

No you don’t

If you’re properly coached it doesn’t matter.

I am all for one OOC game against another P4 school, but it needs to be week 2.

While it sticks I actually do agree. I just wish we had a team that beats the odds, beats the best ooc team’s and forces committee to let us in regardless

LOL can't be said enough:

Clemson knows they have a guaranteed W to open the year next year. They will not cancel that game. They would be stupid to do so.

Wait, make that guaranteed Ws for 2025 and 2026.

And Miami is out because they laid an egg against Syracuse.

Nobody is being left out of the playoffs due to a tough OOC schedule.

The purpose of the playoffs is to find the national champion. We already know Alabama and ol miss aren’t the best in college football so there’s no need for them to be in the playoffs. A playoff invitation is not supposed to be some sort of alternative prize.

I would definitely be in favor of this...I don't care what the fallout is in the short term...but the game is more harmful than helpful.

Is there any team that was left out of the playoff because of a tough OOC loss?

Just don't loose late in the regular season is the bigger statement.
