College Football Playoffs First Round

Should ALWAYS have been 8 teams. No reason it should have gone past. Going to 16 soon is only gonna make it worse.

8 team playoff would have been the 4 power champs. Plus the top Go5 champ. As the top 5 seeds and 3 wild card.

1 Oregon vs 8 Notre Dame
4 Clemson vs 5 Boise St
2 Georgia Vs 7 Penn St
3 Arizona St vs 6 Texas

Much better matchups. Fair seeding and is there any argument to be made for anyone left out? Nope.

You’re down 4 touchdowns…what good is a field goal? Still down 4 scores. Should have went for it on 4th down.

There will always be an arguement for teams left out.
4, 8, 12, or 64, or 68 that will never stop.

Money is driving this and I do think we will see a little more parity going forward in CFB created by NIL. Lack of depth is already showing in numerous SEC, B1G teams and others.

As a fan, I’ve called PSU fraudulent all season. I just think they got lucky with a weak schedule. Probably still a top 10ish team, but I never thought they were top 5.

With that said. SMU and Boise St are both good match ups, so they could be there in the final 4 teams

For sure. I get that based on the criteria of a 3 loss team not getting in but I personally value strength of schedule and quality victories over all else. The committee did not.
Indiana and SMU are getting exposed for playing nothing schedules. They got the bump because they had 1 regular season loss but they didn’t play anybody. It’s showing up now against real competition. No way Alabama gets blown out by Penn State or Notre Dame and, yes, I know that they did against Oklahoma but I think that was a fluke.

Tennessee fans, like Michigan fans, are proving they need to be put in their place.

Sure, yet Alabama didn’t have tough nonconference schedule at all. Plus the SEC only plays 8 conf games iirc.

And, I’m not arguing on IU at all, nor SMU.

After the game though, right?

Yea, it wasn’t what I thought would happen but was hoping would.
I wouldn’t be surprised to go 0-4 on the hope…

Just turned it on for a minute…looks like it all ended after that for Clemson.

This seems like a really good year to not have a top 10 draft pick.
