Notre Dame has won 4 of their last 6 bowl games. One of the losses was the year they got whupped by Clemson in the CFP and everyone said ND shouldn't have been there - until Clemson went and whupped Alabama even worse the following week.

Easy enough. I imagine neither of those to be especially close.

It seems to clear cut - now florida is going to beat Bama and cause chaos

Hell maybe they’d tune in just to see how badly the Irish would lose?

You're not wrong. People who hate a team are just as likely to tune in as people who love that team.

Go old people in suits!!

Your idea of "deciding it on the field" is to have even worse teams try to go up against Clemson and Alabama. Notre Dame and Texas A&M can't keep up? Okay, let's see how Cincinnati can do!!

[crazy4kinsler]

I just don't see how Notre Dame can get into the Final 4 after this blowout. But it is Notre Dame so they get special treatment. Also I don't understand how Ohio St can get in with 6 wins. But then again, see my comment about ND's special treatment.

Now if Florida can pull the upset of Bama, then anything goes I'm guessing. Knowing the Final 4 committee, FU would probably jump A&M and get in.

As I already schooled you, the #4 team has won it all twice, which is more often than the #1 team.

Why do I feel the need to keep reminding you that you want eight teams, not four?

The country is excited to see Oklahoma and Oregon in the 4-5 game for the right to play Alabama. That could really shake up the playoffs.

Kind of a big gap

I’m right. You are wrong.

The size of Texas is a horrible argument and you knew it from the get.

It’s literally not during bowl season. But go ahead and flex on your unprovable arguments. During bowl season geography plays into viewership. But its all good. Chalk up a “W” on your internet wins for the night.

The OSU Nebraska game was going up against juggernaut noon kickoff matchups like OkST v TCU and NC State vs UNC. It’s no wonder they didn’t pull a higher number.

The SEC literally added TAMU for the Texas viewership market.

Upsets do happen....and they're the most exciting thing about sports. Nobody thought Boise St. could beat Oklahoma in 2006, did they.

Watching the same teams play each other over and over again (i.e. Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St.) just gets boring after a while.

If Alabama wins, I have to go Alabama/Clemson/OSU/ND. If you put away the recency bias, I don't see how it is special treatment. ND's best win is better than A&M's best win, and their loss is certainly no worse.

Can someone please explain what the sideline reporter is wearing to interview Saban?

We're talking about the playoffs, not bowl games.

You say that it gets boring watching the same teams.........no matter what eight teams you come up with, we're still going to end up with Alabama vs. Clemson.

The problem is who else deserves it? Who gets in if you keep ND and Ohio State out? There’s just not that many good teams this year it’s Bama/Clemson then who? Everyone has bad losses so you just default to the teams who haven’t cost themselves a playoff spot. No team has a better win than ND and OSU hasn’t lost

i loved when they cut to the committee “watching the games”. i didnt see any of them drinking anything, no cups, food, etc. seemed like a staged shot, then back to the private lounge area.

Precisely, which is why we don't need to force #7 and #8 to get one more beatdown. We can't even find a 4th team that is deserving.

WTF kind of idiotic seeding is that? Do you even watch college football?

Yeah it would really suck to see ND play A&M (the true #4 v #5) and settle it on the field. We'd also get OSU-Oklahoma with #3 v #6.

Oh no!! More top-10 NCAA football games!! That cannot be permitted..!! Settle it in a boardroom instead! That's much more exciting!!! Much better to have old people in suits decide the final 4 instead of the teams themselves!!!

Go look at every Ohio State game like ever

It’s quite easy to prove

You couldn’t be more wrong if you even tried to be more wrong.

Literally impossible

Even Ohio State haters know it

Oh, you really don't get it.

You want a playoff system with champions and not with a committee. The five conference champions would have to be seeded 1-5. Your example was the NFL. Where are the division champs seeded? Higher than the wildcards. Elementary.

You're literally asking for a committee to pick three wildcards AND seed the teams 1-8 in the exact same post in which you're making fun of settling it in a board room. Maybe slow down so that your contradictions aren't so obvious and embarrassing.

Who do you think put Notre Dame and Texas A&M at 4 and 5?

[coachnip13]

"WE DON'T NEED A COMMITTEE TO DECIDE THE PLAYOFFS!! OLD MEN IN A BOARD ROOM!!"

Okay, what is your idea?

"A COMMITTEE IN A BOARD ROOM WOULD PICK THE THREE WILD CARDS AND THEN DETERMINE SEEDS 1-8."

Shaking my head.

Columbus Ohio had the highest rated 2020 NFL Draft viewership and we don’t even have a team

There wasn’t a Texas city in the Top 8

You are so wrong that it’s hard to be more wrong

Maybe, maybe not.....you're assuming that upsets never take place. The problem is that occasionally, upsets do happen. And when they do, they're really exciting.

You're correct that right now Alabama & Clemson are the two best teams in college football. But that doesn't mean that they are going to win every single game they play. Players get hurt...teams have bad games, refs make bad calls....that's why you play the games.

By your logic, we mind as well not even bother to have a season, since it's already pre-ordained that Alabama & Clemson are the two best teams.

Uh, excuse me, but do not tell me what my own proposed idea was. I have stated it repeatedly, and will gladly do so again:

8 playoff spots. 5 automatic bids go to each of the P5 champions. 1 automatic bid to the best G5 team if they are ranked in the top 12. Then 2 at large (or 3 at large if no G5 team qualified).

One you have your 8 teams, it gets seeded like basketball. In other words, there's no rule the conference champs have to be the top seeds. Some years that will happen but certainly some years it won't.

You're not a stupid person, so stop acting like one. Right now it is all subjective. Under my proposal, 62.5% of participants will be automatic qualifiers based on game outcome.

There will always be some subjectivity. That simply cannot be avoided. My system gets rid of an awful lot of it when deciding the final 8, and gets rid of all of it for deciding the Final 4.

As of tomorrow morning, I guarantee you that's #4 and #5 from all polls: the CFP, the AP and the Coaches (but not necessarily in the same order).

And a group of men in women in suits will sit in a conference room and decide which of those teams gets to go to the Final-4. How any college football fan prefers that to actually having it decided on the field is just beyond a mystery.....
