Silly to drop TT two spots after a hypothetical win over BYU.

That's a huge red flag for me because prior to the first rankings, Brice sat down with the committee to do an in depth piece on their criteria and their formula. His projections should've been pretty close and the fact that they weren't, goes to show us all that someone within the committee put...

It hurts my head to keep speculating on this. The bottom line is that no one should trust the committee at this point. Assume the worst. Hope for the best.

Of all the things wrong w/ the selection process, the blatant conflicts of interest might be the top choice for me. Auto-bids are a close second. Probably 1a and 1b at this point. Fair representation is non existent within a sport that has two power conferences and then everyone else. They...

Seems excessively shady to announce these coaching changes the same day as signing day. I couldn't imagine the feelings of these kids or their parents who are going through that.

Just want to put the good juju out in the universe for a Carnell Tate transfer to ND. Lets make it happen.

Sorry, I forgot to quote Dale's post. Maybe I'm missing context, but the words from Yuracheck in the above exchange almost make it sound like BYU/Miami/ND are grouped together as he talked about their respective rankings. Maybe, I misunderstood.

When did ND leave the comp grouping of Bama/OU and enter the comp grouping of Miami/BYU? Referring to Yuracheck's comments in Dale's post above.

Help me out with FEI regarding garbage time as it pertains to ND vs Syracuse and Stanford...where those games were over so early that the rest of the game felt like actual garbage time. What is the threshold?

100% The committee needs to have a backbone and not fall prisoner to the mouth breather paradox of H2H as the be-all-end-all. You could say the same about CCGs. You can't create a hill to die on, if said hill is a complete and total farce that is completely counterintuitive, illogical, and...

BUT HEAD TO HEAD!! OH MUH GAW!

The CCG should only serve the purposes of 1) earning a conference title in a vacuum (bragging rights, essentially) and 2) adding another bullet point to the respective teams resumes, for better or worse. In the grand scheme of the CFP rankings, CCGs, shouldn't carry a massive amount of weight...

I don't know their medical policy or Freeman’s policy on injury news, but since MF already made the comment above, it basically goes along with what I was told prior to this news even breaking…out for Cuse, doctor would likely let him play against Stanford but won’t be needed. Will be cleared...

Yeah, it's fun discussing. The 64 team list also allows for far more rivalries to be preserved.

True. It's definitely a start. Just seems watered down w/ half of those 64 teams being programs that would have absolutely no chance at competing for a divisional championship, let alone a national one. Hence a relegation and multi-tiered system. 32 teams also seems to work well with the NFL...

64 seems like too many teams for a Tier 1 "Premier League."

I orginally was on board with the above. Then someone responded withe below... ...and it's why I think Rock and RDU have it right. You have to revert back to regional divisions and add tiers with relegation.

This the way. I'm not a soccer fan, but I've heard some people talk about the different leagues and relegation and how great it works. With so many teams in college football and so much parity and changing landscapes, it makes sense to allow for free flowing movement. But the best teams...

Interesting. I actually haven't been following a lot of this stuff that closely.

I've pretty much made my peace already with ND eventually joining the B1G. I'll take Navy Week 0 home/away/Ireland and USC during Rivalry Week every year. Fill the rest of the OOC games with a SEC team and a cupcake and call it a day before getting into conference games.
