Saturday Bowls

I have no issues with the amount of bowls. I do have a problem when GT/Minnesota is a blowout. No reason that shouldn’t have been a fun entertaining game like many others that simply were not this year.

The current system favoring Conf Champs has given us ton of blowouts in the Semis and is clearly worse than the old BCS system

Are you too busy being anti UGA to talk CFB in an unbiased fashion

Everything is cyclical. There is no reason to see the same teams play again when there has already been a champion determined between them.
 
Did the refs mis-spot that kickoff? It was fair caught, and they gave it to them at the spot (like the 22) instead of the 25.

playoff system has really killed any bowl season excitement. that and the football factories

Correct. So instead of Bama crushing OU, Bama would be crushing the number 8 team.

Or Oklahoma next week after Oklahoma beat Texas again this week after also beating them in the big 12 championship while losing to them in the regular season.
 
Easy to make that statement late this evening. Most had no issues with the teams picked.
 
Did you guys hear the commentators trying to say that Bama #8 (RB Josh Jacobs) is from Tulsa but didn't get a scholarship from OK and so has a chip on his shoulder? They were trying to create some kind of underdog narrative *for the Bama RB*! They literally said he didn't have any other major college offers.

Somebody research that for me. There's no way in the world anybody on the Bama squad didn't get major college offers.

Mike Leach is right. We need to go to a 16 or 24 team playoff. FCS can do it. Why can’t FBS?

This is the way a 16 team playoff could work.
https://slapthesign.com/2018/12/04/college-football-playoff-16-team-playoff-look-like-2018/

The ten conference champions get automatic bids to the playoff, just like March Madness. The remaining six at-large berths go to the top six teams that didn’t win a conference title according to the College Football Playoff rankings.

You then seed all 16 teams according to how they are ranked in the playoff rankings. For those teams not ranked, you’d have the committee seed them. For the purposes of this exercise, I am the committee.

As far as where to play the games, you would award the top four universities. Each school would host a regional bracket, meaning the rounds of 16 and 8 would be played on the campuses of the top four teams.

The semifinals would rotate amongst the New Year’s Six bowl sites, just as the do now. Same with the national title game — played at a neutral site at basically any stadium in the country.

Even at 16, it would still be the smallest playoff bracket at any level of college football.

This is what the bracket would look like in 2018.

Alabama regional
No. 1 Alabama (SEC Champion) vs. No. 16 Northern Illinois (MAC Champion)

No. 8 Central Florida (AAC Champion) vs. No. 9 Washington (Pac-12 Champion)

Oklahoma Regional
No. 4 Oklahoma (Big 12 Champion) vs. No. 13 Fresno State (Mountain West Champion)

No. 5 Georgia (At-large) vs. No. 12 Penn State (At-large)

Notre Dame Regional
No. 3 Notre Dame (At-large) vs. No. 14 Appalachian State (Sun Belt Champion)

No. 6 Ohio State (B1G Champion) vs. No. 11 LSU (At-large)

Clemson Regional
No. 2 Clemson (ACC Champion) vs. No. 15 UAB (Conference USA Champion)

No. 7 Michigan (At-Large) vs. No. 10 Florida (At-large)

UGAg is better because on a given day with Bama's QB hurt and playing like ish (as you admit) they stayed with them? For cripes sakes, they got beat by the backup ultimately. Again, why didn't they show up against LSU? The committee has to look at a whole season of work, not an isolated game.

The CFP committee made that decision -OU avenged their only loss of the season while UGA lost 2 games -one to a 3-loss LSU team. I don’t see the argument for UGA at all -they had their shot, and blew it, on 4th and 11.
