Yeah, this really isn't fair. I didn't expect the path to a natty to look like this.

It shouldn't be THIS hard to win a natty. Can't we catch a break???

What Aggie games have you been watching for the last 85 years ?

The ONLY valid ANNUAL goal for ALL Aggie Sports is a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

Yes I guess that was ambiguous but I did mean that they are the best team who is on the road for the first round.

Isn't Alabama the best road team in the opening round?

Oregon clearly has the easiest…

That who side is much easier

Brian's just needs to beat bama/ou then Oregon/tech then he team from our side

The 1 seed side is way easier

The national champ
Is going to come from the 2 seed side of the bracket

Under the old BCS format, there is a 100% chance that Indiana would be playing Georgia for the national championship. Yet for some reason UGA is ranked 3rd in this format. Interesting.

Pre-BCS Indiana would be the national champion being voted #1 by AP and Coaches.

Pre BCS, Indiana would be playing Oregon in the Rose. Win that and they're national champs.

With the playoff brackets we have now it will be much more difficult for any coach to win 6 nattys as Nick Saban did.

Three times since 2015 Alabama won 3 Nattys but had only a 4-team playoff each year.. Prior to that it was a 2- team playoff.
