yet Notre Dame would be 15 or more point favorites over each...as would Texas, Vandy....Hell LSU would be double digit favorites over both.

Georgia, JMU, and Tulane all got in the same way technically

That’s the point, the system is f’ed up. Need to go back to BCS type formula/calculation. Tulane and JMU would never have been in this year. I’m not hating on them, it just is what it is. They don’t belong in.

Analogy … you simply cannot have AAA teams qualify for Major League playoffs. It’s a joke and unfair to two teams that shoukd have been playing instead of Tulane and Madison.

Not gonna argue with you dude. If you can't see the extreme difference in talent I'm not about to try and explain it to you.


Sounds like your position just isn’t very strong

The flaw in the system is there is never going to be 12 deserving teams to play for a national title. The more teams you add the less the regular season matters. shite is retarded and they purposely keep creating these controversies so they can use it to justify having even more teams. More teams is more money, that’s all this is about.

JMU and Tulane are better teams than we are seeing today. They are both playing top 10 teams on the road in late December after playing 13 games. It's an impossible situation.

I think we do need a separate playoff, but a G5 school can still qualify for the big CFP if ranked in the top 12.

We've had blowouts when two teams were picked, four teams were picked, and twelve teams were picked. Just happens some games.

Power 4 conference champ Duke lost to poor little DEI Tulane. Would they have fared any better on the road at Ole Miss or Oregon today?

Agree. Needs to be changed to best 12 teams. Period.

I guess you don't realize how much of a talent difference there is. Hell UT San Antonio beat Tulane this year by double digits....OM blew them out bigtime, both times. OM got by LSU by 5. Every single SEC team would be favored.

And to make matters worse James Madison is worse than Tulane.

You’re missing the point, the committee needs to go back to a bcs type ranking. This DEI BS is embarrassing.

Conference champs shouldn’t mean shite it should be the top 8 teams regardless of conference championship and drop the 12 shite. If your conference sucks you don’t get a charity bid
