Nutriaitch Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Gee, what a shock! this new an improved Playoff System is actually a steaming pile of rotten buffalo shyte. https://sports.yahoo.com/the-expanded-12-team-college-football-playoff-is-here--and-it-already-has-problems-130006008.html Quote IRVING, Texas — Inside the College Football Playoff meeting room, at a resort hotel in the posh community of Las Colinas, the industry’s most powerful leaders played a game: a bracket game. Gathered around a table, the FBS commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director projected a 12-team playoff bracket by applying the 2022 rankings. Eight months away from a historic 2024 CFP selection day — the inaugural expanded playoff — the bracketing exercise commenced as a way to show executives the matchups, trends and perhaps even issues (we’ll get to that later) produced with a new format. Quote While considering realignment, there would have been seven first-round, conference-vs.-conference rematches over the 10 years of the CFP — far too many. Quote Only three times in the last 10 years would the top 12 ranked teams have all made the field. Quote In 2022, Tulane, ranked No. 16, would have advanced into the playoff as the Group of Five’s highest-ranked champion. The 12-seeded Green Wave would have pushed out 12th-ranked Washington. In 2019, No. 15 Memphis, the G5’s highest-ranked champion, would have gotten a bid over Notre Dame, Penn State and Utah. Quote In 2015, Navy would have earned the G5 bid into the field as the No. 21st-ranked team in the country. Last year, No. 23-ranked Liberty would have gotten in (Oregon beat that team 45-6 in the Fiesta Bowl, by the way.) Quote The selection committee will be faced with the real possibility that no G5 team — even its best champion — is ranked. The question emerged during the bracket exercise, and Hancock confirmed that the protocol is for the committee to choose the best G5 champion among the five league winners — a G5 ranking of sorts. Imagine a G5 champion that is not ranked in the top 25 earning a bid over more than 10 power conference programs ranked higher than it? It could happen. Sankey reminded reporters after the bracket exercise that such a circumstance is the result of the format decision to award auto bids to the top five conference champions instead of the top four. Welcome to the new world of college football. Don't have to go undefeated. Get a mulligan in round one against a conference foe you already lost to Have a top 12 type season but get left out for a team 10 spots behind you. finish in the top 4 but get jumped by a team ranked 12th. if only someone could have pointed out how terrible this idea was years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I don't care what system you have, somebody is going to get the shaft or complain that they did. At the end of the day the rankings are what constitute "fair" are subjective and therefore ripe for debate. And at the end of the day its all about $$$ anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I'm going to wait until a team from the bottom ranked 6 teams wins the natty. Absent that, if the committee gets the top six teams right, and one of them always wins the natty, all else is moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B/c in our culture everybody gets a participation trophy and nobody can be disappointed or slighted in any way. You know, the opposite of real life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
