2024 College Football Playoffs

[thekid33]

CFB Selection Committee is going to demote SMU to FCS at this point

 

[Plankton]

Jennings has to get better to suck.

 

[thekid33]

Last night and today guarantee that future playoffs will be:
ND
1 Big 12
1 Group of 5
1 ACC
3 Big 10
5 SEC

God I’m glad we got Leonard. Both Jennings and Allar suck I’d take Leonard over ever QB left in the playoffs minus Oregons and Texas

I would possibly take him over Ewers at this point

5 SEC

Those lower seeded SEC teams would've suffered the same fate playing in this cold.

 

[LifelongFan]

Milroe had this same game against Oklahoma. Not sure if there's any reason to think he would do it again against a real team.

In all seriousness, Indiana is legitimately a top 12 team. So if we're committing to a 12 team field they're going to be there. The problem is that there aren't 12 elite teams.

Why? ND got blown out in CFPs and still made it after. People used to say the same thing about us. Blowouts happen annually in the CFP regardless of team or conference. Have for a decade.

Because the SEC/ESPN want it to be as many SEC teams as possible.

Look at how they were talking after the game last night, and even in the second half of the game to am extent. The focus wasn't on ND kicked their ass. Instead it was discussing how maybe Indiana was never that good.

 

[NorthDakota]

The tears on social media from SEC land makes me wonder why they don't just have their own conference tourney at the end of the year.

They aren’t gonna punish the Big Ten for Indiana. They might punish INDIANA for Indiana but if PSU, Oregon, OSU and say Michigan, Washington etc are in that fourth spot next year, the Big Ten gets it. 100%

 

[ACamp1900]

I like how it’s surprising the early round is seeing blowouts,… idc who gets in this will be a very normal thing with an expanded playoff

And that's OK! The first round should be viewed as sorting out the field. The real games start in round 2 in the old BCS Bowls.

 

[BleedingGold]

But no, we need more playoff teams, 16, 24, 64….

 

[irishff1014]

This game is gonna be a complete blow out

Valid

ACC is going to be sweating hoping this Clemson Texas game looks good

 

[NDWarrior]

Reactionary... Things can be fixed. Indiana's loss to Notre Dame proves that College Football expansion was a mistake

 

[Blazers46]

I’m hoping Clemson beats Texas to give the first round a little flavor and something to watch along with the NFL game.

 

[LifelongFan]

Some year there will be blowouts. You opt for that because some years a Cinderella will emerge. Every playoff, especially in a sport with uneven scheduling, is better having a few extra spots than too few to allow the Cinderellas and other overlooked teams.

NFL can F off and play Sundays when there is CFB scheduled

 

[T Town Tommy]

After next season I think it’s a real possibility that the SEC and B1G break away and will have their own championship.

NFL bows to no one. It's been that way for a couple(?) decades.

To be fair I stopped watching the PSU game at 14-0. Fantasy ramifications for NFL still exist in my world.

Why would you want to allow a Cinderella? If your goal is to crown the best team as the national champion, then the emergence of a Cinderella is an even bigger problem than blowouts are.

Football is flukey. NIU beat Notre Dame but nobody thinks they're the better team because the weight of the evidence over the course of the season provided additional data points. A single elimination tournament magnifies the problem of flukes.

Seems to work in every other level of football

 

[calvegas04]

Cinderella teams are good for sports, gives the fans a team to cheer for when their team is out.

How many tens of millions of dollars did WBD pay to Disney for this dog shit? You think Zaslav feels like he got his money's worth?
