OU is closest to those 4. They were clearly a top 3 team in 2018.

OU only by default, but yeah you’d have to include them in that list of teams that you’re surprised when they don’t make the playoffs. Which is laughable considering I don’t think they’re ever really on the same level as those other teams on a consistent basis, but they’re consistently good enough to make a strong case for that 4th spot. And just like what aggy learned this year and what TCU and Baylor learned the first year of the playoffs, if all things are equal they’re gonna put the blue blood in 100 times out of 100. ND and OU are definitely the programs they’re looking for when they want to find the 4th team

So if it's #4 UT 7 vs #1 Bama 21, you wouldn't be happy, in the playoffs? You prefer 55-23 Alamo bowl victories?

Too true.

You better fucking believe I'd be upset only scoring seven points in the first half against a team others have racked up 45 against. Everyone on this board would be pissed.

since this has become the playoff expansion thread:

8 kills the bowls

16 is the number:

- TEN DAYS IS LONG ENOUGH TO SET MATCHUPS, VENUES & SCOUTING/PREPARATION

- this kills the bowls but puts $1 Billion in the coffers

- first round on campus seeds 1-8 on days 10, 11 & 12 following championship saturday (finals need to be finished....)

- second round RANDOM DRAW played week after xmas / around new years at a NEUTRAL SITE big stadium equidistant between the 2 schools

- semis RANDOM DRAW thursday/friday of nfl divisional weekend (again, 10/11 days later), at agreed stadiums

- final same saturday as superbowl at preset location bid on 4-5 years out just like the superbowl

nbd.  I only know because Lane is such a funny twitter follow.  He trolls everyone including himself and other coaches.  

Freshwater seems to be growing up a bit. He had a lot of success (and money) at an early age and didn’t handle it well. He may yet become a pretty formidable CFB HC.

How does 8 kill the bowls but 16 doesn't?
