What would be ironic is, after all the crying, for the committee to keep ND at #9 and put Miami at #10 after a 'bama loss

This! The damn committee needs to enter into the modern CFP way of thinking and make this call if 'bama loses! The CCG should no longer exist, but it does, and if you're gonna think like old 4-team BCS system where the CCG games were feeders in to the 4-team playoff and a loss then almost...

I was just going to say (I swear!) that this game is gonna need 'bama turnovers for GA to take advantage of to win this game!

100%, no (potential) champion left behind! And we'll all yawn at the debates over a 11-2 BYU and and 10-2 Utah at best with 16 teams. But more importantly, every potential champion - TX, AL, Vandy, ND, Miami - will be assured to get into the field. And think about how much more exciting the...

A practical approach for a school like Nevada.

As they should. They're pointless. And who wants the possibility of GA and 'bama playing each other 3 times in a season? Talk about taking the air out of the CFP games and the excitement CFB is trying to bring to them.

I agree with many to just 86 the auto bids but it may take that concession to get the 16-team format approved. And right, who cares as a top 11 at large teams is plenty of runway for ND; as you state, if we've lost 3 or more games, we likely not a true CFP contender anyway. As I stated before...

Altho' BYU is likely to get beat soundly as they were about 4-5 weeks ago by TTU which kind of affects your statement IMO.

Never thought I would see the day where Campbell finally leaves ISU!

The current system is broken, political and biased. A change is needed. Any change from the current system will certainly benefit ND.

The tide has turned against ND if we’re #10 and Miami is behind us at #11. We need both BYU and ‘bama to lose; otherwise, thy will be flipped and we’re out.

At least the SEC is pushing the conference to head in the direction of more in-season competition so teams can be better tested. SEC Network set to showcase 2026 SEC Football Schedule Reveal, Thu., Dec. 11 The announcement is a bit dramatic but here is what will be covered: "In the 2026...

I will repeat what I posted earlier today... If many here are to be believed, perhaps an Alabama CCG loser replaces ND, but I think it would be Miami in that scenario and that 'bama drops out (3 damn losses, come on). BYU and 'bama both need to be losers; otherwise, IMO, ND is out.

Agreed, Vandy or Texas would be much better and competitive. Let's do it (if we don't make the playoffs).

To my point below, teams, especially playoff bubble teams crave in-season competitive matchups. And there should be a lot more of them and screw the CCGs. At this point, SEC and BIG10 teams have a number of top conference teams that are fairly tested but in many cases are not playing enough of...

Yeah, geez, if anything there are a bunch of stories out about how the big time P4 teams are going to shy away from playing late August and September tough OOC games so that they don't risk missing making the 12-team CFP field. That's ridiculous! Open up the field to 16 and encourage, if not...

They could absolutely in that case, I'm just not feeling as confident that the committee will stay to their "ND looks like a better team" story when ND is at 10# immediately followed by Miami at #11. They've already covered their asses on Tuesday night with comments that allude to them finally...

"So great, I tell you. It will go the best of all time!"

Agreed, the extra practice and play time are invaluable to a team vs. having your season suddenly cut short. Also, could build some goodwill with the committee to let them know we're loads better than BYU (we better bruise that team or whichever perennial playoff contender team we're opposite...
