Expanded playoff isn’t really gonna fix this issue

It makes it more palletable at least.

As it stands, Bama basically gets a bye into the title game.

Regardless of the four teams picked this year, the CFP has been in need of expansion.

With expansion, Bama will get an actual Bye and then follow that with a worst team that this Cincy team in round 2

It's pretty tiring how Bama continues to get free passes. They don't even win their conference in some years and still get the benefit of the doubt. Mulligan U jumps from #3 to #1 when Michigan won by 39 points in the B10CG? UGA is a fraud, Bama doesn't deserve to jump 2 spots because they beat them. That simply ignores the LSU and Aub games where Bama, as usual, got all the luck in the world.

This is simply the committee picking winners and losers. CFB is becoming unwatchable.

Yeah it won't be pretty.

Either way.. glad to even be in a ny6 bowl in Tucker year 2. Hopefully K. Walker can have one good final game before he leaves.

Herbstriet trying to gloat that the committee put a G5 team in and calling people stupid for thinking they never would, ignoring the fact that they are only in because they have literally no other alternative

by any measure Cincy earned it. They did what we've been yelling for G5 teams to do. Play somebody OOC, beat them, and go undefeated

That’s not really the point tho. If the committee had any alternative to Cincy at all, they wouldn’t have made it in, even despite them doing those things you listed

And I’m not saying that to argue they shouldn’t be in, I’m saying that’s how the committee operates and feels about G5 teams

UGA's notable wins are Arkansas and Kentucky......and it's just decided that they are some GOAT team.

Notable wins is a comical gauge for who is best suited for playoffs. Three of the last four times a team had not beaten a top 15 team in the regular season they won the championship. The other time they won the first playoff game.

The CFP or the NCAA or someone needs to figure out a way to make sure teams actually try and don’t have stars sit out and shite so that these bowls are amazing like we all want.
