Disagree with the seedings and my machine has BYU in over TN but this is about what one could hope for.

Hoping Sankey throws a fit over this and attempts to tear it all down. Just want chaos.

Penn st at 6 is kinda cray cray

One of SMU, PennSt, boise will be in the SF

 

[B1GEast]

The committee made it clear, getting to a conference championship game and playing well is slightly more important than strength of schedule.

Me too!

In the long-term...the non-SEC/Big10 teams will regret SMU bumping Bama...will lead to SEC/Big10 walking away or requiring guaranteed spots.

Let's be honest...this format was supposed to result in

4 - SEC
4 - Big 10
1 - Notre Dame
1 - Big 12
1 - ACC
1 - Big 5

God their crying is beyond ridiculous. They rank damn near every SEC team and never drop them out. This way they can go on about the "ranked" teams they have beaten, and also explain away any loss.

The issue is that the conferences are so big they can’t play a round robin schedule. Two teams in the same conference can have a significantly different SOS. Like Indiana and Ohio St.

I don‘t know how you fix that. To me…SOS should be the biggest factor in seeding.

It's just hilarious to watch Sanky's, Saban's, the other SEC shills world is closing in, they think have the majority voice which it no longer is.

They're getting paid a sheet ton of money to go play those games. They chose to invite Texas and Oklahoma to their conference. I get they want the P2 to split off but to publicly cry about the CFP format is pathetic.

 

[Kolumbo]

Plus Alabama lost to Vandy, Tenn, and Oklahoma, all in conference. It's wins out of conference were Western Kentucky, South Florida, Wisconsin, Mercer. They're not Penske material.

I disagree. Schedule of strength is not what is always seems to be. There were a lot of SEC that were ranked high early, but ended up not being as good as advertised, but the teams that beat them early got the benefit of saying we beat a ranked team.

So my argument is you didn't beat a good team, you beat a team that was overated.

I think if you beat the teams on your schedule and they were solid victories, you did what you were supposed to.

The committee got it right. Sankey can cry about it all he wants.

Go SMU Ponies!!! I hope it doesn’t snow.

My favorite is the Big 12 presidents scoffing at UConn, acting as if they're some football juggernaut. They only got one playoff team — a team that joined because of the Pac-12 collapse. Maybe they should take a look in the mirror and consider that Yormark might be onto something. This also begs the question: is the ACC really in jeopardy? They appear to be the superior/more respected football conference of the two by the selectees..

They only got two teams in because Clemson won. The conferences are about the same imo
