A lot of swing passes from Alabama. Sark must not read this board.
I wod say ND doesn't deserve to be there but somebody has to be the sacrafacial lamb with 4 teams in....
....and it amazes me people still think it would be a good idea to add 4 more lambs to the slaughter. Most years, this one inc, there are barely 3 teams worthy of going to the playoff.
Alabama went 99 yards without breaking a sweat. This is gonna get ugly.
I was for the Aggies getting a shot. But I totally support an 8-team playoff. That would be 5 P5 champions and 3 at large. Remove all doubt.
I'd normally suggest people will turn this off and find something else but I think a LOT of people like seeing Notre Dame get ***** slapped. Me inc.
The semifinal games are usually blowouts anyways. I wouldn't mind going to 8 teams with the #1 and #2 teams essentially getting a bye playing #7 and #8. At least the #3-6 games should be competitive.I wod say ND doesn't deserve to be there but somebody has to be the sacrafacial lamb with 4 teams in....

You do all that then you have to allow all the Power5 conference champions in the playoffs regardless if there not one of the top 8 teams..The semifinal games are usually blowouts anyways.

I could support that, but I'd guess that they'd just expand to a direct 8-team playoff.
There would be no byes or advantage for 2 teams like the NFL...
Agreed, but seeding should still go by ranking.You do all that then you have to allow all the Power5 conference champions in the playoffs regardless if there not one of the top 8 teams..
Yeah, that's what I meant. It was just a slight joke that the top teams would get a bye because those games would probably be blowouts.I could support that, but I'd guess that they'd just expand to a direct 8-team playoff.
That was pretty much game over if ND doesn't get the TD. May be this will be a game for 6 minutes more.![]()
