CFP setting it up for 2 SEC teams ....

Maybe it's the covid season, or maybe it's because I couldn't care less about the top however many teams are in front of the dwags, but I really don't give a öööö who wins it this year

How can A&M play for the national championship if they cannot win their division in the SEC?

This is the problem with the playoff committee. The point of a CFB playoff should not be to pick the 4 best resumés as counterintuitive as that sounds. It should be to pick the 4 teams with the highest likelihood of being the best team.

CFB doesn’t play enough games to differentiate 130+ teams. The whole point of conferences is to subdivide teams, determine the best in those sub groups, and have them play each other. There should NEVER be more than one team from a conference in a playoff. Never. You’ve already determined a conference champion. That’s your best team. If it’s not, then you have a dumb way of determining your conference champion.

There’s no earthly reason to include A&M in a playoff. We already know theyre not the best team in the country. Why the öööö would we waste a valuable spot in a playoff to determine what we already know.

Cinci has a higher likelihood of being the best team in the country than anybody not named Bama or ND right now. They haven’t lost. Everybody else has or hasn’t played enough games. Barring an undefeated team from playing for a title is the most un-American thing in sports today. Seriously, is there any other sport in the country that stops an undefeated team from playing for a championship?

1. Bama
2. ND
3. Cinci
4. Clemson (only because Lawrence out in an OT loss).

Loser of ND/Clemson should not be in a playoff. They’re already not the best team in their conference. How could they be the best team in the country?

I dunno I get the Conf champion argument but it certainly doesn’t work for basketball
 
I don’t give a öööö unless they put a 6 win OSU in.

NCAA wants none of that. NCAA wants the best television matchup for the opening two games of the playoff.

Period.

As in, nothing else matters.
 
If you put Ohio State in, why not put USC in?

Because OSU apparently has the NCAA by the balls, and have already gotten both them and the B10 to change rules and make a path for them so they can skip games and get in healthy.

They've also been locked into that #4 spot every single week since their first game while #1-#3 have been revolving doors. The CFP's intentions have been clear for many weeks now, despite the weakness of their already-small schedule.
 
If the SEC wants a Texas A&M team in from their weak conference this year, then they should use the current ACC model, which is to put the top two teams in by record and CFP ranking. The SEC chose the divisional route again this year and they should pay the price; the ACC is playing their two top teams, not divisional champions. If ND v CU is a good game and close and CU wins, ND should get in, not A&M.

Shocker of all shockers, every time the CFP reinvents itself, Ohio State get in over somebody else. It started with TCU winning 55-3 and sliding to let OSU in, because conference championships matter. Then OSU gets in over Penn State (who beat OSU and won the B10) two years later because win totals matter. Now, something else matters, and we'll know what it is depending how the title games shake out.

Florida dropping 1 spot after laying an egg last week is a disgrace. So is OSU who hasn't moved from #4 since their first game halfway into the season, no matter what else happens. The CFP committee is ruled by revenue and should stop pretending it has any interest in fair competition. The BCS computer formula was so much better than this "eye test" dumpster fire.

Screw Cincinnati, their schedule is horrible. So they are undefeated. Every conference champ could run that schedule. Same with every P5 also ran. The SEC probably has 4 teams that would have that same record.
