The last 4 teams were an abject failure. Miami had 2 bad losses and JMU and Tulane are in. Absolutely ridiculous. 

First round of the playoffs may be unwatchable

Any of yall think bowls will eventually go away? Due to more player opt outs, expanded playoffs, and teams already declining an invite when a coach leaves?

They aren’t what they use to be.

Wow, wow. They still actually put BYU ahead of us, even after yesterday. Committee is completely detached from reality.

I repeat what I said above.  The committee has people on it that loath Texas.  Fact.  Alabama is crashing and burning at the end of the season but they use the “whole resume “ to keep them in.

I would argue Notre Dame passes the eye test RIGHT NOW, in August/September not so much. But who the hell knows what criteria THIS committee is using on a team-by-team basis, much less the entire field

That’s because they played garbage teams later. It’s like aggy looking good when they were beating nobodies.

Notre Dame won 3 playoff games last year, including a dogwalking of this year's #1 Indiana. They also have the best player in college football and have won 10 straight games.

I’d be heated if I was nd. 
 

You play no one. And easy path to get in. But you still don’t get in.

Committee hates Catholics.

Well, I’m “not happy” for JMU and Tulane.  Definitely lose the 5th conference champion guarantee.  Frankly, I would lose the 4th as well.  If you want to guarantee conference champions “only in the top 15”……OK, but that wouldn’t be my 1st choice.  If I’m ESPN, be real.  You don’t want to be stuck selling JMU v Oregon, Tulane v Ole Miss to advertisers.  Hell, Miami at A&M is even a harder sell than ND v A&M.  Forget the inclusivity.  It’s just a bad product

I say it all the time, but there are plenty of people here that put their heads in the sand about Texas Hatred and refuse to accept the truth.

But why?

Because the Big 12 is not good and they lost by 22 to Tech. Wins against Utah, Arizona, and the rest are not highly rated by the committee and pretty much everyone else. The Big 12 is a one team league now.

It's a moot point but technically they moved BYU down a spot to #12 but that was done 100% so they could put Miami and ND next to each other to justify the flip on the last ranking.

Excuse me. I believe you misspelled 'moo'.

Ok cool so BYU’s dogshit performance in a conference championship matters, but Bama’s doesn’t and it’s more about “body or work”?

That work includes getting raped by FSU and playing both UL Monroe and EIL… cool

Fucking garbage.

I'm pretty sure Wulaw would get his real estate license revoked if he insisted Kamala Harris was gonna win. He's been approaching a Helobious level of reverse Nostradamus though

This, exactly. ND's schedule was as much of a joke as aggy's,

Too bad. Maybe Sark will learn to use bye weeks for game prep instead of watching his wife get split into two.

So ....  we should be prepared for every team we play, even the shitty ones? Intriguing concept. Possibly just radical enough to work.

How many of these teams would Texas be favored over if we played them next weekend at a neutral site? Half? 

Ohio St  9 pt favorites 

Indiana  7 pt favorites

Georgia 4 pt favorites

Tech 4 pt favorites

Oregon 7 pt favorites

Ole Miss push

Aggy 1 pt favorite

Oklahoma 1 pt underdog

Alabama 2 pt favorites

Miami 3 pt favorites

Tulane 16 pt underdogs

James madison 6 pt underdogs

 

so 3 teams theyd be favored, basically a push with 3, then decent underdogs vs the top 5

this is comparing their Sagarin PREDICTOR scores

A playoff without James Madison or Tulane would totally lack legitimacy, so I for one am glad.

So in the eternal discussion of is the job of the committee to get the 12 best or 12 most deserving, you are a “most deserving” believer?

I’m a “12 best” follower myself.

Even if it was a "12 best" using their rankings, we'd still be the first team out behind BYU..... lol

What. The. FUCK.
I just lost 5 figures in the prediction markets on this shit. Thanks a lot, Sark
That was supposed to be a down payment on a pool

Why isnt it USC? 

They have to play in the old Pac 12 bowls through this year. That's the Alamo Bowl for them against BYU.

One thing is clear.  BCS, 4 team playoff, 12 team playoff doesnt matter.  In every case it hasn't been about getting the best x teams in the country.  Tulane and James Madison are gonna get rolled
