Bowls, CFP, and other Disappointing Games Thread

Nobody saw this happening, nobody.

What the actual öööö

Anyone who thinks tOSU is the so called #8 seed is only kidding themselves at this point.

Wish they were in the 7 slot over ND.

Did Oregon not belong in this thing? Paging Mr Herbstreet.

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

This reminds me of when MTSU had our play calls.

 

[USCJacket]

Should have been #5 playing ASU earlier based on this years CFP seeding rules.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

I stand corrected, I see 3 people picked Ohio st in the bracket.

Could very well end up with the 5, 6, 7, 8 seeds in the semis

I have a hard time squaring this with the fact that Oregon won the first time they played

 

[rosebud]

Are they going to shorten the game?

The college football playoff has been a lot closer to the NFL preseason than it has been to March Madness.

If this crap holds and Norte Dame wins tomorrow, no conference champion will make it to the semi finals.

That would be most fitting.

That would be most fitting.

So I can see them doing away with the championship games and just seeding based on the regular season record.

If only we had a thing like that previously!

Championship games are a money maker. They will not get rid of them.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

I'm predicting Oregon scores 36 2nd half points and wins the game

They are not getting rid of Conference Championship games as mentioned above they are $$$ makers. What is going to change is what happens to the loser of the game. If you go by the “rumored” 16 team 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 1 model, it will ensure the loser of the game is guaranteed in. The 16 team model would be:

Guaranteed teams by conference:

4 BIG
4 sec
2 ACC
2 B12

3 at-large (including ND) and 1 G5 team.

In the end probably the safest bet on the next update to the CFP in 2 years. While the ACC, B12, G5 and ND can oppose the new format, ND and the G5 know they will lose their auto bid if they go against the guaranteed 4 teams each from the B1G, sec. The format also gives the ACC, B12 a chance at 3+ teams on a good year.

Did Ohio state have their entire DL out for the first game? How did they lose to Michigan? Crazy.
