3 of those are in a Power Conference
Haven’t looked at ND’s schedule yet but they usually have a Top 30 schedule
You go 10-2 with that you belong in a 12 team CFP
Especially when you carry a brand
Don’t think anyone will deny that brands do matter
Just how TV is

There shouldn’t be any guaranteed spots even for P5 schools
If you win a power conference you most likely will get in
But shouldn’t be guaranteed.
G5 schools…
Have to improve their scheduling.
Simple as that
The proposal didn't specify any distinctions between conferences. It was simply the 6 highest rated conference championships, and 6 highest rated non champions.
Yet there are guaranteed spots. So it's basically a failure before it starts.
No
The PAC 12 was embarrassed when they complained about not having a guaranteed spot
There wasn’t any in the original plan
Don’t know about it know. They will postpone this until the contract with ESPN ends
In 2019, a blueblood school played 3 top 25 teams, losing to #2 and #15 and beating #24. They finished 10 - 2 and beat Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. They also played 2 other teams with winning records, 7 - 6 and 8 - 5. Only 3 of the teams they played had winning records 8 - 5, 8 - 5, 7 - 6. The combined records of the teams they beat was 49 - 75. Who was this team? Alabama!
So does Alabama. 3 cupcakes and mostly a bunch of losers doesn't get it. I have been wrong and I will quickly admit it and go on. Try it sometime, it actually helps your credibility.
Don’t see your argument.So does Alabama. 3 cupcakes and mostly a bunch of losers doesn't get it. I have been wrong and I will quickly admit it and go on. Try it sometime, it actually helps your credibility.
Plus P5 schools don’t have the same issues as a G5 school
No matter the records…Because records are a result of schedules
A P5 schedule will always get more credit than a G5 schedule especially one from the SEC.
Including wins against Duke 5 - 7, New Mexico State 2 - 10, Arkansas 2 - 10, Western Carolina 3 - 9, Ole Miss 4 - 8, South Carolina 4 - 8, Mississippi State 6 - 7. That is seven of their wins. That many cupcakes can give you diabetes. That is a mulligan 10 win schedule, 2 out of 3 top 25 teams beat them that year.
The top ranked P5 schools have too many gimmees, Stevie Wonder could see that. Granted, few G5 schools will miss all of their own cupcakes to schedule P5 opponents but when one does it should count. It doesn't. It seems as though you cannot admit when you even might be mistaken in your assessment of any situation. You still don't see my argument, do you? My point is, each school should be evaluated at the END of the regular season to determine eligibility for the playoffs.
Instead, it's a freakin' beauty contest. If both Baylor and TCU have both earned their way in, they should be in. Instead they cancel each other out and OSU goes in their place.

They also played the best team in the country LSU to the end.
All about proving that you can compete at that level.
Hard when you don’t have the games to do so. They did that year. Played LSU to the end.
LSU played maybe the toughest schedule in history that year
Beat everyone
This is the problem some have…
There won’t be that many of those games in conference outside of the SEC
Truthfully a lot of us have big games scheduled in the future
WVU plays Alabama twice
WVU plays Alabama tough and has a respectable record they should get in if we have a 12 team playoff that year
Ohio State and Michigan have scheduled everyone
Clemson needs a little bit more
Whoever wants to be in the CFP needs to

Think of basketball where the best 64 teams get a shot at the national championship. Obviously, you can't have that many games in football, but 12 teams is a nice compromise. Then, you just can't argue about not picking the best 12 teams. No conference champions. The only thing that matters is how that selection is done and to make sure there is absolutely no bias.
Having said that, our greatest chance was when they picked the top 2 teams. One upset (like 88) and we're champs. When it went to 4, it got twice as hard. Going to 12 teams reduces our chances to almost zero. Kinda guarantees that I'll go to my grave without a football NC. Maybe all the bluelotters as well. So, hoops will be our best chance as coming up with 5 great players is much easier than 22.

Only problem with 12 is the top 4 will remain the same. Then those top 4 get a week off to watch the teams that they will beat the crap out of. The top 4 will enjoy it when the teams 5 through 8 are upset making it even easier for them.
Most of the country never watches a single college football game each season and doesn't give a crap.
