    Expand the playoffs, but do it in a way that keeps those things that make college football special and unique, conference champs, bowl season and historic tie-ins, at-large invites. The last thing i'd want is to make the playoff the NFL light using things such as seedings, byes, home field advantage. Using those ideas this year's playoff would be OSU-Oregon (the rare example of a confeence champ which is really un-derserving) in the Rose. Oklahoma vs at-large Cinncinatti, in the Cotton. Bama vs at-large Notre Dame in the Sugar. And, Clemson vs at-large Texas A&M in the orange. Rose/Cotton winners in Fiesta, and Sugar/Orange winners in Peach. Then the final in a selected city. Set up some guidelines to maybe preclude an Oregeon situation, as well as the selection process for the at-large teams (keep the committee).

    While you have a right to your opinion Connor and we, as fans, have a right to ours and don’t need to be told by a sports writer (?) how we should feel or be reprimanded like a child for having a difference of opinion. Telling hundreds of thousands of fans their opinion is weak seems pretty weak to me in its on right. Like some things just need to go unsaid, some things need to go unwritten. Go Dawgs!

    Looking forward to leadership on the field Jan. 1, 2021 at Noon. The opt outs will be hoping not to be Elijah Holyfield on May 1, 2021.

    I wish I could down-vote this article, for more than one of its segments.

    Loser: College Football Playoff committee: It's easy to see how they favored Ohio ST, who hasn't earned or proven anything in 2020.

    Notre Dame got "IN" over a one loss TA&M.

    Looking a little further down the rankings - only shows how the committee's bias continues. Georgia lost to Alabama and Florida.

    Oklahoma lost to 4-6 Kansas ST and 8-3 Iowa ST.

    The committee has Oklahoma ranked higher than Georgia. I would like to hear their justification for that.

    The spreads on the games being played at a neutral site is pretty much all you need to know about the rankings. Would TxA&M be a 7 point dog to Clemson? I understand OSU getting in as they would be favored over Okla and Florida and would be a double digit favorite over Cincinnati.

    Evidently Conner thinks you are a bunch of losers. I wonder what would happen if all the so-called losers stopped reading his articles and commenting underneath? Just say'n. Not exactly a good way to grow a fan base.

    If you think it's bad now, wait to see how horrible college football eventually gets if this proposed bill is introduced and passed to set up a government bureaucracy to force the schools to pass along revenue to the players and allow them to hire agents as as student athlete, etc. etc.. And, that's just a starting point. College football will no longer exist as we once knew it.

    Everyone, has an opinion but I agree with the premise that no one twisted any players arms to sign on the dotted line. They could have gone out in the workforce and starting earning income.

    They have a right to opt out. If you're truly physically hurt, I get it.

    The rest could be hogwash too. Who knows??

    Reading these comments, I can see that I am not the only one who objects to players on scholarship quitting on their teammates/coaches, and fanbases.

    I think we need to be VERY careful with playoff expansion. College football is the best game around and I certainly don't want to see it morph into something much less interesting (like other sports with a regular season that doesn't amount to much).

    The selection of Ohio State and Notre Dame were victories for the establishment. In times like these, where we are getting glimpses of just how powerful the establishment is , did anyone really expect two teams that epitomize college football royalty like Ohio State and Notre Dame to get overlooked?

    One positive regarding opt outs for Georgia: We get to see a closer version of what our '21 Dawgs will look like.....the same Dawgs who will take the field against Clemson in a few months. Hopefully, this pandemic stuff will be a thing of the past by then and we can have packed stadiums again the way God intended.

    Go Dawgs!

    I believe we are in agreement with most (possibly, all) of your comments. My only quibble is, Do you think ohio state would be any more deserving in an 8 team playoff? 5 game regular season, really?

    So it's ok for you to express your opinion, and criticize others for their opinion connor? Can you say HYPOCRITE?
