  1. I’m in the the G5 should be included camp.

    I’m also objective enough to know that the 5/6 seeds playing Tulane/JM while 7/8 seeds played Bama/Miami was a HUGE advantage for the 5/6

    THAT needs to be fixed.

    So how about this little tweak:

    - Top 5 conf champs are still in but they have to be ranked in top 12

    - If not ranked in top 12, they play in a “play-in” games vs the 11 and 12 seeds

    Sorry, Longhorns, that still doesn’t help you this year but it would have given us these games instead

    11 ND vs Tulane

    12 BYU vs JM

    And instead of last night’s blowouts we would have had  

    5 Oregon vs 12 BYU

    6 Ole Miss vs 11 ND

    but

    there’s also this little nugget that would have helped UT this year had the ACC produced a legit champion and only 1 G5 team was in play…

    instead of 12 BYU vs JM, it could have been 12 BYU vs 13 UT

    Go look at BYU’s schedule and compare it against the schedules of the SEC teams that are either in contention or are already a lock for the playoffs. It’s laughable if you actually think that BYU’s schedule is comparable to any of those team’s schedules. 

    The SEC isn’t the only conference sending teams to the playoffs.

    BYU stacks up just fine vs the teams near them in the rankings and I’d thriw Oregon in there too

    As most of you know, Texas high school playoffs are currently ongoing. And in the various divisions (6a, 5a, 4a etc etc) all the the districts send their top 4 teams - regardless of w/l record - top 4 are in. This is based on district results only, non district games matter not.

    And then the first round begins with all the 1’s facing off against the 4’s and likewise all  the 2’s and 3’s

    I like this. I’m wondering if perhaps it could work for the CFP. Conference championship games have no bearing other than to name the 1 seeds. 

    Now I know what you are thinking, why even play the CCGs? We’ll let me tell you…

    SEC Top 4 
    Bama, UGA, Miss, Aggy

    BIG Top 4
    tOSU, Indy, UO, SC

    Big12 Top 2 - yeah, I said 2
    Tech, BYU

    ACC Top 2
    Virginia, Duke

    That’s 12 teams so we have 4 spots to fill and we’re gonna do that on CCG weekend. G5s need to have their champs already decided prior to this weekend - hey, if they want in, that’s the requirement.

    Top ranked G5 + 7 at-large play for the final 4 bids - all four of which will then fill in 3 and 4 seeds in the BIG12 and ACC spots in CFP bracket

    Using the AP poll, the seven at large this year would be: (8)OU, (9)ND, (10)Bama, (11)BYU, (12)Miami, (13)Vandy, (14)Texas

    Thanks to SC getting the 4 seed out of the BIG, Utah is 1st team out

    Match-ups would be:
    OU - G5
    ND - Texas
    Bama - Vandy
    BYU - Miami

    I’m too slow getting to the editor

    I have BYU in there twice - lol

    EDIT:

    Using the AP poll, the seven at large this year would be: (8)OU, (9)ND, (10)Bama, (12)Miami, (13)Vandy, (14)Texas, (15) Utah

    I saw a reel come across my feed yesterday where some guy applied point value for wins and losses and came up with a season total.

    I can’t find the link but his formula was something like this:

    +50 pts - non top25 win 
    +100 - top25 win
    +25 - top10 win
    +10 - top5 win

    -100 - non top25 loss
    -50 - top25 loss
    -35 - top10 loss
    -25 - top5 loss

    Top25 rankings were based on current end of season rankings, not time of game rankings

    Add up team totals and seed a playoff accordingly

    Apologies for quoting myself but here’s Tech’s season total:

    50 Ark PB 
    50 Kent St
    50 Oregon St
    100 Utah (15)
    100 Houston (21)
    50 Kansas 
    -100 Az St
    50 Ok St
    50 K St
    100 BYU (11) (should be 10)
    50 UCF
    50 WV
    ______

    600

    Bruce Feldman was on cc show and basically said Texas needs to shut up and they are not deserving of the playoff because check notes…
    they lost to Florida who is the worse team in all of college football 

    they played some games that were close with very bad teams lmao

    and they aren’t good this year and next year is the year they’ll be good. 
     

    whether he is right or wrong I’m assuming that’s how the committee thinks. My problem is, are we the only ones getting held to this standard wtf?  Do they even watch any other games? he should just say they lost 3 games and call it a day but he layed it off that we suck. 

    Have you ever heard of BYU? They play in a “P4”  conference and won 11 games and they aren’t in the playoff. 
     

    If Texas played their schedule and had the same results, Texas would be Top5 right now.

  8. I started to post this in one of the existing threads but thought I’d go this route to shift the focus from “what’s wrong” to “what it could be”. I liked Gruden’s idea of more play-in games on CCG Saturday but I don’t think it goes far enough as a long term fix. So, here goes…

    The Super Bowl pits the AFC champ vs the NFC champ - doesn’t matter if the 2 or 3 or 7 best teams are all on one side or the other - the Super Bowl will always be AFC vs NFC. Fast forward to a new college football playoff landscape, what’s your preferred format? I know there are some that want this but is there really a majority that would want it to be BIG vs SEC all the time and all the time BIG vs SEC? Like AFC vs NFC?

    My fandom doesn’t stem from following a blue blood program - I went to high school in Lubbock (college ACU) but I still live in Lubbock and therefore I support and follow Texas Tech. But I was born in Los Angeles and didn’t move to Texas until I was 15. The blue bloods were all I ever knew as they were the teams always on TV and playing in the bowl games on New Years Day (the majority of my early college football viewing) 

    So I’m an outsider regarding blue bloods but I understand their perspective of not wanting to share that which they have built.

    But is that really what’s best for the future of the game?

    I’m curious if you Longhorns truly want that sort of contraction? I’m open to hear your pros and cons for going that route.

    As for me and my personal non blue blood perspective and fandom, I always enjoyed the regionality of the SWC - wish Arkansas never left. When we moved to Texas, I hadn’t heard of Texas Tech but I knew about Texas and Arkansas and Oklahoma - and Aggy because of the movie “Best Little Whorehouse In Texas” - lol

    But I REALLY liked the original Big12 - save for screwing up the OU/NU game. And I would like to see a return to something similar to those affiliations - doesn’t have to be exact but close. The scarcity of teams out west make if difficult to do with a good and equal distribution of program size and strength. But I believe it’s worth pursuing. If nothing else, the transfer portal and NIL age has shown us who’s committed and who isn’t (so far) - so maybe that’s a starting point on where the cut line should be. Texas Tech and BYU have made it known with their recent contracts that they are committed.

    With that being said, here’s my wish list:

    Eight conferences of 9 teams (8x9=72)
    Playoffs are the 8 champs and 8 at-large based on w/l record - regular season is 8 conf game + 4 (max of 2 vs teams outside the 72)

    I don’t want to list my entire 72 here now but I would like to see these traditional rivals stay together as group “starter kits” if you will for the 8 leagues

    - SC, UCLA, UO, UW
    - NU, OU, TX, ATM
    - UI, UM, tOSU, PSU
    - UA, AU, LSU, UGA
    - UF, FSU, UM
    - ND, AF, Army, Navy

    I guess that’s all I got, the rest can be filled in. As for my preference for Tech, Lubbock is already pretty remote so besides the Dallas area, regionality doesn’t exist. So, the only one I’d for sure like to be back in the same conference with is Nebraska  - I guess that eliminates Texas from consideration  - lol

    Cheers!!
