So Notre Dame proved themselves by getting crushed by Clemson last week? OSU proved themselves by playing 5 games less than everyone else?
I think you will understand my point if you read on.
Ok then you are correct take out ND who did beat a #1 Clemson team and finished w one loss and a OSU team that looked great but didn’t have a lot of wins. Who you putting in ????? No else deserved it . Coastal Carolina? UCF ? Cincy who barely beat Tulsa in the championship?
I think the argument against Notre Dame is that when they did beat that Clemson team, Lawrence was out along with 3-4 key defensive players for Clemson. Then in the rematch everybody was healthy and it wasn't even a game. That was essentially a playoff game and ND proved they weren't good enough. That being said, I'm not sure who really deserved it.
Next team up.
The selection system isn’t causing your problem. Your problem is caused by the fact that since 2014 when the playoff system started, Alabama or Clemson (or both) have been massively head and shoulders better than everyone else in the country. Last year LSU was massively head and shoulders better than everyone. OSU and Georgia show up once in a while.
My issue is with what I view as a corrupt selection system, led by the humans on the committee.
Cool, I’d be fine with that too. It would do zero to address your issue that the committee does a bad job of selecting matchups.
He’s saying the semi final games have been uncompetitive because the humans picking the teams have done a bad job, and that the games would be more competitive if a different system was used.
It’s more about teams wanting to be able to say “we made the playoffs” than there being more than 2-3 legit title contenders a year. Cincy is butthurt this year but in reality if there were an 8 team playoff they’d have lost by 40 points. Would they care? Probably not. It’s all about that “made the playoff” bragging right.
I like watching Clemson play and it was unwatchable after halftime, imagine other games. With 4 teams it atleast keeps the regular season interesting
That's a secondary factor, if that. It's about adding more meaningful postseason games. Currently, there are three meaningful postseason college football games. Everything else is a glorified exhibition game. Yes, Cincinnati would get torn to shreds by Alabama. But it would create multiple other intriguing matchups over the course of three rounds, increase the chances of upsets, and not foster the idea of the same three teams playing each other every year. College football continues to have the most irrelevant postseason in all of competitive sports.
Not to mention high profile players are skipping these games for the NFL combine. So yeah let’s make more of these meaningless games and we’ll love it . SMH
How is a game you know the outcome of more meaningful?
Never thought much about all those smelling salts I inhaled playing football way back in the day. Also all the stars I saw floating my head. All from crown hits I was administrating. Launching our bodies like missiles was how we were taught to play. Of course I now know I was having concussions.
That's not exactly what happened. During the official timeout for the review of the targeting call, Fields himself told Ryan Day that he wasn't coming out of the game. It wasn't a coach forcing his player to play through injury.
