And BARELY beating or losing to SEVEN teams is definitely significant.

It’s laughable for anyone to think otherwise. That’s over HALF your schedule. And games play for points not anything else.

I don’t think that a team that loses their conference championship game should

Names are all that matter, not wins. Just ask Finebaum

Wisconsin crumbles.

12/7/19 8:27pm

They may lose. But we all know that barring some craziness from the committee

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 8:34pm

Fine. But then you also can't let someone who didnt even make their championship

Non-mo Coug

Starting to sound like Auto bids.

rtNelson

12/7/19 8:29pm

In rare circumstances, like I said, they should be allowed. But not in the game

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 8:31pm

They just need to go to an 8 team playoff and give autobids to conference champs

Duke Silver

12/7/19 8:29pm

I agree. Would fix a lot of problems with the current system.

Robbinoburrito

Only if conference champion is in top 12 or so.

zerigke

12/7/19 8:39pm

YES, I agree. But then you might not want either in. If Virginia won I think

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 8:42pm

I think you let them in no matter what. If you leave it up to whether they are

Duke Silver

12/7/19 8:45pm

Even if they are clearly a Top 3 or 4 team?

chilango

12/7/19 8:38pm

That wouldn’t happen imo. A CLEAR top 3 or 4 team would not lose to a team well

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 8:44pm

So Clemson wouldn’t lose to Syracuse a few years ago? Or tOSU to Virginia Tech,

chilango

12/7/19 8:52pm

These were conference championship games?

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 8:55pm

No. You said: “A CLEAR top 3 or 4 team would not lose to a team well below them”

chilango

12/7/19 9:01pm

Lol. My op was about the what should be considered a quarter final conference

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 9:05pm

Except that it’s explicitly not a quarterfinal. I’m fine with the playoff

chilango

12/7/19 9:20pm

Of course it’s not. My op was just saying that I think it should be considered

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 9:22pm

Well, I disagree.

chilango

12/7/19 9:35pm

And I don’t think they get the “four best teams” in most of the time. Maybe two

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 9:24pm

The top 4 are pretty clear this year, don’t you think?

chilango

12/7/19 9:35pm

Three of them are. We all know who the committee will probably pick for “four”

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 9:40pm

Who would you view as the #4?

chilango

12/7/19 9:49pm

There are a lot of options, which is my point, but I’ll play along. My finalists

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 10:57pm

I can’t agree. Bama’s best win was Texas A&M, and they lost to the only other 2

chilango

Oklahoma had 7 close games (and lost one of them) Oregon had 4 close games (and

Yeah, almost nothing would convince me that the team with more wins and fewer

chilango

With the current system there will almost always be some doubt. Which is my

I don't disagree that many years, there is some doubt, sometimes even a lot of

In 2017 Alabama lost their last regular-season game to Auburn and missed their

Yep. Like I said. Rare occasions. But a conference championship? Not for me. Thx

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 9:09pm

I vehemently disagree

5150man

12/7/19 8:41pm

The game right before the playoff games would definitely show a trend. And not

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 8:49pm

Just so I'm straight.

5150man

12/7/19 9:03pm

Losing to a team you crushed earlier in the season? That’s what you’re asking? I

Robbinoburrito

12/7/19 9:15pm

And 2017 Alabama showed a trend by losing to Auburn in the SEC championship game?

5150man

12/7/19 9:08pm

It was Bama’s last game right before the semis, but not the CCG.

chilango

12/7/19 9:17pm

Disagree. A team like Ohio St. Should not be penalized

zerigke

Totally agree... I’ve always thought that
