It is rigged. That’s how it’s built. Even after BYU gets in the B12 it will still be rigged.

Going to a 12 team playoff will make it less rigged. But it will still have components built in to favor the P5 schools.

Is Herbstreit all right??? Glad he was able to get that off his chest… I’m sure

They didn’t need to elevate them Utah/Pitt at 14/15 still would have gotten in

Yes. Exactly. You're highlighting my point. Under the current system...

Fair, just didn’t know if your issue was with the committee or the whole system

Noytre Dame had a better record (11-1). Pitt and Utah were conference champs.

Not just realizing it. It's just being highlighted this year more starkly.

I can only think of 2 teams G5 that had strong arguments to be in the CFP

I would think he is including the BCS years. Before the playoffs small schools

And luckily they had a good ND on the schedule this year.

Just my take, but ND is not good or proven

Did someone remind him of the red-headed stepchild that is BYU?

That seem uncharacteristic of the guy. Random meltdown.

Yeah, this feels really weird.

Sheesh that was salty. Uncharacteristic of him. Chill Herbstreit. It’s a cartel.

Only in because they happened to play ND and ND ended up not losing again

Yup if ND's loss was to anyone else they would have the #4 spot

Bingo. Was a perfect storm this year that FORCED the committee to let them in

I'm not sure why all the g5s don't do it.

You have cracked the nut. Now we have the formula. 😉

This guy perfectly lays out what it takes to get into the CFP. P5 vs G5

Have they accepted a 12 game playoff

Yes but still debating over how to determine the auto bids.

It's out in the open and everyone knows it, but the CFP still pays lips service

Right. I'm just commenting on the fact that it's ridiculous for Herbie to be calling people conspiracy theorists for

LOL. Michigan started the season unranked and lost a game and still finished…

ChadFromCougarTown

Michigan played and beat good teams. Truth is, most G5 teams play 2-3

Isn’t that kind of the point?

I’m not exactly sure what you mean here

PHXSUNS31

12/7/21 7:18pm

Right but it’s the team not the schedule. UCF got jobbed. Cinci didn’t luckily. Emphasis on luckily.

I don’t remember the details around UCF, did they beat anyone good those years?
