On another note, the committee dropping beloved ohio to #2 instead of putting Georgia there is pretty ****ing lame. Really doesn't make much difference unless they were going to drop them to #4, which they weren't, but pretty ****ing weak **** nonetheless.
I'm aware. Easiest fix for THIS year - playoff should be 8 teams. No BYEs. But bi is still allowed for @tinman I respeck his sexuality
F@ck Alabama! Hope the land thieves molly whoop. Would like to see Miami make the semis just for the Georgia vs Beck hilarity.
The committee explanation of their process and why it took so long for the head to head to matter for Miami/Notre is like listening to a David Culley press conference. Nothing makes sense. Im quite gleeful that Notre Dame got left out though.
Difference is KST and Iowa St both have to cough up $500k to the Big12. ND is crying on its Comcast money bags.
Losing a conference championship game hurts less than an OOC loss to a top seed. In hindsight, it's too risky to schedule tough OOC games.
Of course it does - it's a 13rd bonus game against a really good opponent that other teams don't have to face. Why would anyone penalize it more than losing to a team on the regular schedule? Miami and likely OU are in the field because the played and won a hard OOC game. I find it funny that teams who think they deserve a shot at a national title would be scared of playing a good team. I think instead of being cowards, not looking awful for half the season is a better strategy for making the playoff.
What if you are already playing more good teams than pretty much anyone else? If you are in the SEC, decent chance you are playing 4-5 ranked teams (possibly top 10 or higher) in conference play alone. Why add another really difficult game when the rest of the P4 are playing 1-2?
Aw, poor little Notre Dame got their feelings hurt and decided to take their toys and go home! I love it! I will say, though, that Miami should have been ahead of ND several weeks ago. But if ND really wants to get mad at someone, get mad at the stupid ACC for their stupidass tiebreakers in determining who gets to play in the conference championship game.
