I'm pretty sure if you settled it on a neutral site, OST., and ND would be underdogs to OK, uf, UGA and pick em against TAM .
There is a narrative out there that this is a down year for the SEC that seems to have hurt A&M. The all SEC schedule was brutal and hurt in the rankings. Still glad we could watch football this year, and I think the SEC will clean up in bowl season. Notre Dame gets embarrassed every time they are in the big stage and the selection committee never learns their lesson.
This is the figure skating part of college football that I hate. The judges (CFP committee) get together and decide the winners instead of the championship being decided on the field. This is the history of college football: writers got to select the mythical national champion, then there was the BCS champion - two teams selected -and now the CFP. The problem of course is that the NCAA has sold out to the bowls and need to keep them involved in the process. Every other level of college football has a playoff system and decides their champion on the field and not in a hotel conference room. The difference is the other divisions are focused on a championship and not network money from the bowl games.
I understand there will never be a perfect system because there are 120+ Division I schools; however, expanding the playoffs to eight teams with five conference champions and three at-large bids gives more deserving teams an opportunity to compete. There will still be debates about Coastal Carolina vs Texas A&M or Oklahoma or Cincinatti but at least those teams have an opportunity to play on a big stage. Let's face it people argue about the 64th, 65th, and 66th best college basketball teams for the NCAA tournament.
Seriously. Big10 makes rules at the beginning of their season. End of season, "nevermind". I heard that OSU deserved the bid cuz they won their few games and cuz the had to go thru the covid thing. Cincy won their games. Every team went through the covid thing. Seriously?
Kelly says ND absolutely deserves to be in the thing. Cuz they have the talent. I guess I watched somebody else thrashed by Clemson Saturday. And he was baffled as to why so many people eye roll when ND gets mentioned.
T A&M doesn't deserve the shot cuz they got thrashed by Alabama earlier? The teams they beat weren't so much? OSU tore their way thru murderers row?
Why doesn't the committee admit that the choice was made to boost ad revenues?
So, some of you want not only socialism to rule our political lives, but also football, etc; Louis8478.
I'm don't want to get into political views on the Dawgnation comments. This is a football site and wish it only to be about football. I guess some people are misunderstanding my comments. about recruiting, I'm guessing. I was stating that the top certain teams are always in the national championship discussion and that is verified by the talent accumulated through recruiting year after year. Even if they expand the playoffs to eight teams with Cincy and Coastal Carolina, these teams will probably not have a chance to win it all because of talent disparity. I'm not putting Cincy or CC down because it's about letting it play out on the field. It would be a feel good moment until reality sets in and one team get embarrassed. To truly give every team a chance is to limit the teams hogging all the 4 and 5 stars from year to year like Clemson , Alabama, Ohio State, even Georgia and believe me i love my Dawgs. Heart will only take a team so far. I don't know how that will happen or if it should happen. It was just a thought out of frustration of seeing the obvious this year by college selection committee.
