Kewan Lacey is a stud running back for Ole Miss. he would have been a good husker get.
I love people complaining about the playoff committee when the playoff committee is literally following the rules. Automatic bids for the 5 highest ranked conference champions. That’s the rules. Playoff committee doesn’t make the rules. That’s the CFP Board of Managers.
If JMU and Tulane keep Notre Dame out of the CFP for not wanting to be in a conference, I am all for these blowout games.
It’s about time the league tells Notre Dame ‘conform or die’. They don’t have the cojones to do it IMO.
Sounds like a distinction without a difference.
Put these G5 teams in a nice bowl game against a BYU or USC instead of having them get steamrolled round 1.
It's not a good product
That’s not what the rules state. Quality of product aside, rules are rules.
Great question. The committee is given the discretion for their own rankings. Why did the committee rank JMU and Tulane? Or why did they rank them as high as they did? They know the rules. Automatic bids for the five (5) highest ranked conference winners. If the ACC has an unranked winner (like it did), you now have automatic bids for SEC, B1G, B12. That’s 2 more autobids for a G5 conference, if they’re ranked.
So I guess with that, back to my original post, people CAN complain about the committee because the committee ranked those G5 teams. I said they shouldn’t because they’re simply following the rules, but they aren’t required to rank the G5 teams.

Fine, the committee followed the rules.
The rules suck and are dumb. They need to be changed.
I 100% agree. I also believe conference champs are automatic qualifiers. P4 at minimum. Otherwise get rid of the game.
Then obviously the discussion is levied towards the rules, not sure why you're splitting hairs over it.
By the current rules, no Duke should not have been in. By what would be my rules, Duke would have automatically qualified.
Nobody is.
It's like telling people "don't complain about the government, complain about congress because they pass legislation"
The ire is being aimed at the exact thing. What's next, are you wanting specific individuals targeted?
I
well I would agree with that. But imagine how much more people would have cried about it. But if a team wins their conference they would earn it even if they went 0-3 in non conference. That would keep non-conference schedules a little more interesting.
People Want 16 or 24 games in the CFP. Why? I love college football, and I did not watch one play of the Ole Miss game' Tonight, I am switching channels between the Bears game and the Duck game. More teams are going to mean more bad games.
I am going to throw my idea out there, again. Give the Group of 5 their own championship. I never thought Rick Neuheisel and I would share the same idea, but I heard him on The Dan Patrick Show saying the very same thing. I think it would save some of the lesser bowls. The new division could incorporate these bowls in their playoff games. The Montana vs Montana State FCS playoff game was more fun than the Ole Miss and the Duck games. I guess I am assuming because I did not watch any of the Ole Miss game and I am half watching the Duck game. I am looking forward to the Husker women's hoop game tomorrow morning much more than any of these football games. Then later the men.
Yeah most likely would be a bunch of blowouts. But there would be more involvement and care by players if went to 32 team playoff and no bowl games. As it is most non playoff bowl games suck, some teams see a big chunk of their roster quit. At least there would be 32 teams engaged yet.
Give G5 team their own championship. Here is another thought. Maybe the Huskers could join one of the G5 conferences so they could be more competitive. Could the Huskers beat James Madison or Tulane?
Never been a fan of Tosh Lupoi before this, and that 99 yard drive by JMU to cover reminded me why.
Personally I don't need to see more SEC vs SEC action. Or the chance of watching a conference play themselves for the championship. I'd like to cap per conference at 2.
I almost wonder if this was a bit intentional.
1. Fans ***** about Bama getting in.
2. Fans cheer Tulane and JMU getting in
Bama/OU game is a stand-alone Friday night game and it is super fun, great TV
The next day you get two horrible games during the prime spots. Now some of the bitching might go away.
The playoffs should start with the sec playing each other the winner then moves on
The problem isn’t the committee. The problem is there are too many teams in the playoff.
Problem is giving a non power 4 team a bone making the playoffs, only reason why so they don’t get sued.
Put ND and BYU in instead of Tulane and UJM and there wouldn’t be an issue.
