I think he was making a joke, since there obviously cannot be a bye with only two teams.

Get the 12 teams and their ranks 1-12

Have all the bowls for the playoffs and assign them a letter.

Have a live powerball type show where they pick 2 random numbers and a random letter.

Build the bracket like that.

ESPN could have 2 hour special and all the big pharma companies get more blocks for advertising

The problem is that the rankins suck. Inddiana and OUS are not 1/2. Miami and Alabama were not deserving of being in the playoffs. All Miami did is beat a team the media said was great. They ere not and Indiana is not either.


If Ohio State and Indiana suck and neither bama nor Miami deserved a playoff spot, who do you suggest should be in the playoffs at all?

I feel like we need a larger sample size on this top really see if bye-weeks are the issue.
Keep in mind last year Boise State was one of the teams with a bye. Arizona State also had a bye, even though they were already massive underdogs.

Miami hasn't played a home game in the playoffs.

But they've played on a college campus

Only Baby Soft DeBoer could lose when the other team just had a month off

So Indiana versus Ohio State in a rematch?
No, it would’ve been Indiana vs Georgia.
