I hear everyone bitching about SMU. People can bitch about IU all they want. Alabama would have gotten shit on worse. They choked their chances against 6-6 Oklahoma in the last game of the year with the playoffs on the line. If they couldn’t get up for that they weren’t getting to compete against NDs defense in South Bend in 20 degree weather.

Well, I would’ve loved to have seen Penn State beat the piss out of them, but I’m not sure that would’ve happened. I can understand Indiana, but SMU is probably way overrated.

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.

Because that’s what makes sports fun. Watching a VCU make a run through March Madness is exciting for the whole country. Watching Duke make the Final Four is fun for Duke fans. If you want CFB to be only watched by fans from the Deep South, let the CFP become the SEC Invitational. If you want to expand the fan base, then there need to be places at the table for Boise State and Indiana when they have good teams, and hope the can pull win or two along the way. And if they pull 4 in a row once in every few years, that’s even better for the sport as a whole.

I know we all don't like Klatt for picking IU, but he is going after Kiffen about him bitching about lack IU/SMU in the playoff. He even brought up Texas's SOS (relatively similar to IU, played and lost only one ranked team, lost to UGA twice) and how nobody complained about it because they are SEC.
