Maybe tech thinks they are good enough to not need a home playoff game

This game is kind of making me miss the rule that only conference champions can get a bye. Teams that are locks to get in have no reason to care.

We will have to watch triple digit wins in the playoffs while J Love is preparing for the NFL all bc the committee isn’t actually committed to putting the best 12 teams in.

This is going to be the biggest joke of a playoff. Going to be 5-6 teams in it that have no fucking chance to win
In fairness that was last year as well. IU, Boise, Arizona State, Clemson, SMU all were never going to win and probably not Tennessee either

TT has to start doing better on second down. They've done well on 1st downs but have given up big yards on 2nd down which has set up short yardage 3rd downs which plays into BYU's gameplan.

Why in the hell did a dude have a tire on his shoulder on the tech sideline? NIL deal with Big-O?

There should be a rule that failing to win your conference championship means exclusion. Winning doesn't guarantee anything, but losing a conference championship guarantees that you're definitely not the best of your region, let alone the nation.

We’re fine. TT obviously has the talent advantage.
Right, and they moved the ball in a more sustainable way in the first. A 14 play 8 minute drive with 2 gimmick plays and one other smoke and mirrors play with two timeouts isn't sustainable.

The committee aren't the ones who set the auto-bid rules. The committee ranks the teams, that's it.

Your beef is with the Management Committee, which is different.
