This is likely how the bowls would have played out pre-BCS....
Sugar – No. 1 Alabama vs No. 5 Notre Dame

Orange – No. 13 Pitt vs. No. 4 Cincinnati
Yes, two blowout games and two irrelevant games with garbage teams was better.

If the regular season doesn’t count how do they pick the teams for the playoff?
I’ll wait.
If you're O.K. with that, then every game doesn't matter. You can afford to lose 2,3,4 games - no big deal - you could still make the playoffs.
That's the opposite of what made college football the king of sports.
But hey, more than a few of you honestly believe that that's progress.

When has there been a 2 loss champion since the playoffs started? There’s only been 1 since the bcs started and that one likely would’ve at minimum been a shared champion without the bcs. I don’t care how many teams make the playoffs tbh because the best teams are likely going to be left standing and if I don’t care to watch those teams play (like this year) I won’t watch. And honestly won’t judge those who do.

When they didn't do enough over the 10, 11, 12-game playoff that was built-in.
You said there was a 130 team playoff. They didn't lose.

quote:They were each given 13 chances (12 regular season games and a bowl game) to become national champions. Just how many chances would you like them to have? And as far as schedules go, they made their own schedules. Nobody forced them to play the teams they chose to schedule (outside of their own conference, of course). And if they're in a shitty conference, they'd better be beating the phuk outta teams. Every game used to matter.
Oh wait, you'd rather the regular season not count.
You only want the regular season to count for a select few teams. The irony of this is wild. Theyve already listed multiple undefeated teams who weren’t given any chance at being a national champion.
We didn't need a playoff to tell me Cincinnati wasn't in the same league as Alabama, even though this wasn't anywhere near the caliber of Alabama teams of the last decade. Not sure why anyone would want to expand on that.

The first Rose Bowl was played in 1902 and it became a yearly event in 1916.

Give it up! It will take a couple more years after the NIL been set up. It will take time to get teams that are down right now. LSU? Texas? OU? OSU? Miami? FSU? Oregon? USC? There may be others but giving you some that should be strong or stronger in a couple of years. With SEC getting OU and Texas it will be much needed to expand the number of playoff teams. It will be much better when the new NIL get it set in stone. Give it time for teams to adapt and make key changes. It is going to be much better but right now it isn't good.

Yet you’ll hear crickets about that team given the primary fanbase for this website.

quote:And here’s what would happen. Alabama and Michigan both win and we have a “split” national title. Baylor vs Georgia doesn’t matter if Bama wins their bowl game. Cincinnati wins, goes undefeated, but doesn’t get the votes to finish first in any poll, which people then bitch about. You’ve essentially created this endless debate about who the real best team is, and instead of watching the games on the field, we get to let the media decide who they like most. That’s your argument here.

personally can’t wait for an all SEC final four once we get to the 16 team playoff. Would anything be more fun than a Bama/Georgia/LSU/Florida playoff bracket in like 3, 4 years or so…?
i want the committee to come out with presser now, saying no 12 team playoff.
we will keep 4 so big10 and g5 can have hope.
sec sec sec.

The argument is that the debate created by this method is part of what made college football great. I'm not necessarily saying I agree with it completely, but it does have some value. For one thing, the old poll system protected the sport from being dominated by one region. We would never know that this year Michigan didn't belong on the same field with either Alabama or Georgia, because they would have never played each other. So Midwestern fans could argue forever in blissful ignorance that 2021 Michigan was really the best team in the country and would have proved it on the field if they'd had a chance, rather than being forcibly reminded by yet another beatdown in the CFP every year that they really have no chance.

Besides, if you thought that 2017 UCF had any chance against either Alabama or Georgia, then you don't really pay that much attention to college football.
2017 UCF beat Auburn in the Peach Bowl. The same Auburn team that beat Bama by 12 in the Iron Bowl and the same Auburn team that beat Georgia by 23 in the DSOR.

So you didn't realize every one of those teams was undefeated?
And I guess you also think the 1984 BYU Cougars deserved that national Championship as well?
At least now I know not to take you football opinions seriously anymore.

Those teams mentioned won every game on their schedule. What else more could they do?
