  1. Notre Dame AD isn't entirely wrong. The weekly rankings and the whole committee process is a very bad joke. More hilarious that they were up to #2 in Sagarin, #5 SP+, #4 FEI and got punched in the nuts.
  2. Sucks missing the playoffs, but this game may be better than most of the highly regarded first round playoff games.
  3. Bama is 9-3 against FBS teams this year. The "extra" game they played was against Eastern Illinois.
  4. I'm glad that article gave me permission to root for Duke. I was going to anyway as a way to be a salty Texas fan, but it's good to have permission.
  5. Brian Kelly would have been a good fit for a villain of the week on NCIS: New Orleans.
  6. I don't mind if they shrink the playoff, or let an algorithm decide. But which system(s) does one use? It isn't like they all spit out the same top 8. And even if you aggregate a few, you don't want to pollute it with one or more junk rankings. How much should MOV matter?
  7. I don't care if Notre Dame is excluded while they are an independent. They can be crowned AP champ if they want. As far as conference tournaments, there is little difference between SEC and B1G teams eliminating themselves against conference foes or against other random teams. Single elimination post season is never going to guarantee the "strongest" team is the last one standing anyway. Actually the fun thing is that the probability the best team wins the tournament drops as the number of played games increases anyway, so expanding the field and number of rounds isn't really about finding the "best" team. It's just about filling tv time with fun games.
  8. P4 championships in the second round, after the first At Large round. Could plausibly seed the conferences for quality and swap them around the bracket depending on the year. But generally G5 champs and random independent freeloaders can compete for At Large spots along with whatever power teams are not in conference championship games.
  9. I might just prefer conference championship tournaments, feeding into a national playoff with the top four champions. If people prefer an expanded national tournament for some reason, something else needs to happen with the conference championship games. Like moving them into a later part of the national brackets.
  10. FEI EWD (Strength of Record based performance v 2 standard deviation above average team) 1. Indiana 2. Ohio State 3. Oregon 4. Aggie (lol) 5. Georgia 6. BYU (!) 7. Alabama 8. Ole Miss 9. Oklahoma 10. Texas Tech 11. Texas 12. Vanderbilt 13. Notre Dame 14. Miami 15. Utah
  11. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47178710/week-15-anger-index-teams-upset-college-football-playoff-ranking-2025 Week 15 Anger Index - David Hale (spoiler alert: We're Number 1!!)
  12. Welcome to college football Sark.
  13. This evidence is irrefutable. Red blooded Americans want Texas in the playoffs.
  14. But will they manage to blow the game against FSU again? Chattanooga is FCS just to remind people. Honestly the committee should probably consider only record vs FBS, unless someone manages to lose to their FCS opponent.
