Going to hear sip *****ing nonstop about a 3 loss Bama getting in over them.

Great!!!! Even more reason for Bama to be in.

We are seeing right before our eyes, the flaws of the stupid tie breaker scenarios in all these conferences. Bama at 2 losses should not be in this title game when you have 2 other 1 loss teams in the conference to choose from.

Miami is in the same boat and will probably get screwed over by all of this. I don't think there's any question in my mind that Miami and Notre Dame should both be in ahead of Alabama.

As for our purposes, since we're locked in at 7, it's probably best for us this blowout continues, so we faced Miami or Bama.

Going forward, the 2 title game participants need to be based off of some sort of rankings and not dumb tie breakers that have no context for the facts. For example, LSU ended up 7-5 making our strength of schedule look like crap, when in reality, we're the reason WHY they looked like crap this year quitting on their coach.

4 team conference playoff. Call it the first two rounds of the CFP. Yes, Big 12 and ACC would have multiple teams undeserving.. but if you cant get our of your conference playoff, you weren't winning it all anyway. And #5 in conference was never going to win it all.

Teams already have multiple injuries on either side of the ball. Want a limping playoff? Playing more games is how this happens.

That's pretty much where I'm at. Four 16-team conferences with four pods each. Anyone else outside of these 64 teams can create their own thing. Each pod winner plays in a 4-team conference playoff. Each conference winner plays in a 4-team national playoff. No committee.

It's incredible to me that people who complain about "bad" games always think the solution is to play more games.

How about simply factoring overall record as a tiebreaker and keeping it two teams.

Or, doing away with it since there will be 9 conf. games and mandate one major opponent every year.

It's not just the stupid tiebreakers, but the problems with only playing 8 conference games in a 16-team conference (or 9 in an 18-team conference), without divisions.

The conferences have gotten so big, and there is such disparity between the conferences, AND the conferences hardly play each other, so of course, there are problems setting up the CCG and the CFP.

An Aggie win at Texas would have put A&M in the SEC championship game vs Alabama and all but guaranteed an A&M SEC championship. An almost non existent running game with a somewhat limited QB as a runner plus a weak passing game is exactly what the Aggies would have faced. Oh what could have been but was not to be. Back to reality as Georgia owns the championship.

---

This makes me sad. What an opportunity wasted for the Ags

"You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender, I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."

Oldie but goodie, can u name the movie and actor?

Bama is in

Committee doesnt want to spook SEC after deciding to go to a 9 game schedule

SEC gonna pay the price next year. Its gonna be ugly

The committee will use whatever excuse gets them their desired result, but the real question is whether they blow up championship weekend by excluding BYU and/or Bama.

I feel disgusting saying this, but Texas has a better resume.

3 LOSSES
Trucked by Georgia = Trucked by Georgia
Losing @Florida is better than @FSU
Losing @Ohio State is far better than losing at home against Oklahoma

KEY WINS
Texas has 2 wins over playoff bound teams (neutral site OU, A&M) Alabama has 1 (@Georgia)
Both have a home victory over Vanderbilt (ranked but not playoff-bound)

Hopefully the playoff committee uses some dense, cryptic formula that glosses over the records lol

10-3 is better than 9-3. Neither are worthy this year. This is tiresome drama brought about by an overly broad playoff. Cut it in half and the argument would return to "contenders" rather than "getting in."

Alabama had a better regular season and only got trucked in a bonus game that isnt suppose to count.

If you play the game, it counts

Which Bama is going to find out tomorrow

I don't understand all these people thinking Bama drops out from a CCG performance. They have said over and over it's a "bonus game" and teams won't be left out for it.

Bama stays in but will ND stay over Miami. Both ND and Miami should be in over tu as should Vandy who only lost 2.

With Virginia trailing at half and OSU Indiana at 10-6, I think the rankings will be:
1 winner of BIG 10 Title
2, SEC champ Georgia
3. Loser of Indiana v OSU
4. Texas Tech
5. Oregon
6. Ole Miss
7. Texas Aggies
8. Ou
9. Miami
10. Alabama
11. James Madison
12. Tulane.

The Irish lose the tie with 10-2 Miami since Duke beats Virginia.
Aggies host Bama, Saturday night 12/20
Ou hosts Miami, Friday night 12/19
Oregon hosts Tulane 3 pm 12/20
Ole Miss hosts JMU Noon 12/20.

Georgia hosts the Sugar bowl winner of our game.
1 seed hosts Rose Bowl vs OU/ Miami
3 seed hosts ole Miss in Cotton
Tech plays Oregon in Fiesta Bowl.

Just flip Tulane and JMU based on ranking and you're good.

The only mystery will be Miami or ND. I got my money on ND.

Maroon Flash said:

Want us to avoid a rematch with ND, unless farther on in the playoffs. We've already played them.


Would like to see Bama and ND swap places and we get Bama at Kyle Field. That would be a great matchup.

---

I'm thinking more and more that this won't happen if the winner of our game is paired with Georgia. If Bama were to win, that would set up a 3rd Bama/Georgia game, and seeing how lopsided that was tonight, I'm guessing the committee will do everything they can to avoid that possiblity.

Thinking ND is coming to Kyle.

If Duke holds on the best Virginia then I think it will be:

Top 4 seeds (byes) in no particular order: Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech

5) Oregon
6) Ole Miss
7) A&M
8) OU
9) Notre Dame
10) Bama
11) Miami
12) G5

you are missing a conference champ auto-bid. u have to have four plus a g5.

Why does everybody think Georgia is going to remain at 3rd seed?

I don't see it. I think they are 2

Don't think this works because you have to have the top five highest rated conference champions right? That's only four conference champions

ACC champ will not be not guaranteed if Duke is that champ. A Duke win makes it easy on the committee to avoid the Notre Dame or Miami question by putting them both in as at larges.

If Duke wins ACC champ but were still ranked below the G5 team conference champ then Duke spot is not guaranteed and committee can replace them with Miami. The better ACC team.

If Duke were ranked below the G5 team conference champ then Duke would be out.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/explaining-acc-college-football-playoff-conundrum-fix-future/

---

And another G5 auto bid would take its place...

You can't but both of them in because you have to have five conference champions and in this scenario the the G5 would get two champions in the 11 and 12 slots.

Right, ACC champ doesn't necessarily get in. In which case it's another G5 conference champ. The five highest ranked conference champions get auto bids. If Duke holds on, that will likely be Tulane and JMU, plus Tech, Georgia, and Indiana (at this point).

I see. I guess to get both Miami and ND in Bama have to be bumped.
