UGA got significantly impaired by the A&M loss.

Ohio St. and Indiana have nothing to gain.

These games are solely for profit and are a relic.

It's time to end this money grab. Now. Today.

As competitors everyone wants to win the game, and it’s bad for the “culture” of a program to mail one in…but I don’t see how these games, at some point, don’t look like the last week of the nfl season when a team has clinched a top seed.

I think the participants in both the B1G and SEC games are locks, but if my team is participating and we rolled out the backups I would be more prone to calling it genius than stupid.

The “first round bye” advantage of being a top 4 is eliminated when you are playing a CCG. So you just start the playoffs at a neutral site coming off a game against an elite opponent, instead of starting the playoff at home against a good opponent. Texas A&M made out like bandits losing yesterday. They get to skip playing bama or Georgia and will get a 10-12 seed at Kyle Field to open the playoffs.

SEC and B1G should rest their entire two deep.

This is so dumb.

Part of the reason I don't watch anymore

Conferences got too big and too nonsensical

Conferences should be 10 teams max so each team can play each other every year

Playoffs are dumb

Lol. Indiana has much to gain; it would be a massive recruiting advertisement for them to take it to Ohio State and win the Big Ten, something they haven’t done in damn near 60 years.

In the BCS and 4 team playoff it was very rare to make it without winning your conference.

However now when conferences get 3-4 bids if not more, what's the point?

It's completely underwhelming.

It's like winning the conference championship olin college basketball. Nobody really cares.
