Nope. But Michigan State lost to ALABAMA 38-0 as the 3 seed. What is your point?
Tulane is getting blown out by all of these teams. They are not a good team in comparison to P4 playoff schools. Using Michigan state as a comparison when they’re playing a Nick Saban elite bama team is just sad. You’re playing ole Miss without their head coach.

Ohio st beat the piss out of Tennessee last year.

If you don’t want to watch football don’t watch it. Bitching about it on this site won’t help.

Eli Manning and the Giants (TWICE) would like to have a word about "undeserving" playoff teams.

Virginia also would have gotten crushed.

They're not good. Blame the ACC for having the dumbest tie breaker rules of all time

The point is everyone with the iq of a goldfish knew this game wouldn’t be close. What’s the point. Better teams who didn’t get to play with a greater chance or making it interesting even if they don’t.

The Power conferences and Notre Dame came up with these rules and the ACC screwed up how they figure out who plays for the conference championship.

Go change your tampon.

Yeah I like seeing the same 8 teams every year.

If Notre Dame doesn’t have to join a conference then a G5 team has every right to get in over them.

How you feeling about this 41-3 snoozefest? I’m sure the ratings are through the roof.

Get rid of the auto crap.

If a non power 5 team goes undefeated they’ll get in.

Absurd a 10-2 Tulane got in.

Boise was 11-1 last year and they deservedly got in. Close loss to Oregon.


JMU is even worse getting in

Anyone can downvote but you’re right.

Texas and Notre Dame should have been in. Much better games.

There was no possible way for them to be in without taking Alabama and Miami’s spots

Both those teams won their first round games

The point is they don’t want to face antitrust litigation by providing no path for G5 teams and the SEC schedules lots of these teams OOC.

They put up 421 yards and won time of possession, but turned it over 3x and had a bunch of drives stalled out in ole Miss territory. To act like they were complete dogshit is silly. Game could have easily been 17-9 at half if not for the INT and drop on 4th down.

They had the ball at the Ole Miss 43 down 17-3 in the second half and stalled out for like the 5th time and ole Miss finally pulled away. Thats what the better team does when you keep stalling drives without getting points.

Hang the banner. That accomplishment should give them an automatic bye for next year.

Do you think Ole Miss just blew their doors off and as the game played out, Tulane never had a chance? Cuz that’s what we are talking about.

Would still be better than handing Notre Dame an auto bid because they won a natty back in the 80s. Once Notre Dame wins 1 conference game then they should have a chance at the playoffs.
