in. So, is it just dealer's choice every year what the criteria is?
Bro, an undefeated FSU was ranked 5 last year because their qb was hurt

They just ranked a 2 loss UGA #2 with a hurt QB and a backup qb that showed he couldn’t throw

There is no consistency

Saban talking out of both sides of his mouth with this Steelers analogy. NFL is wins and losses, so don’t compare a bad losss to cfb

You can’t argue for good wins to count but not bad losses

It does it means you are in. It shouldn’t automatically get you a bye.


Texas has to play a first round game because they lost, UGA doesn't. If there were no auto byes for conference champs then the game would have been pointless, outside of who is #2 and who is #3.

I'm not hard set on the auto bye for power 4 conferences +1 other conference, like it is now. It didn't work great this year but I don' think we should judge it on one year.

I'll never understand this board's obsession with bitching about more quality football matchups.

2 with the BCS was by far the most fun as you could at least usually argue 3rds case.

Hell this year the old AP "national champion" would have worked.

It worked out perfectly for me. It shows how biased and I inconsistent the committee is

something I do want to see changed is the bye teams not getting a home game. Bowl game sites shouldn't be in play until the semifinals

Same, and not the bastardized version that someone will inevitably share. I want the version with the computers not factoring in margin of victory.

It’s going to be fun regardless of who’s in it. And frick complaining about being 12 vs 13. Bitch you don’t have a leg to stand on. Shouldn’t lose 3 games.

They almost have to make the quarters bowl games because of NYE/NYD. People aren't going to travel to the semis, unless they're nearby.

CFB Playoff just made strength of schedule irrelevant. There is no incentive to play in a tough conference nor schedule hard OOC games.


Is it SMU’s fault they didn’t help form the SEC or were ever asked to join?

This is about what’s good for college football as a whole, not Bama or the SEC.

The SEC is undoubtedly the top conference and its often a war of attrition. I love watching SEC ball.

But the kids at SMU, Az State, Boise, etc. who bust their arsses just as hard on the practice field and against whomever they play week to week shouldn’t be penalized every year for not having the privilege of being aligned with what evolved over the years into being the best college football conference.
