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

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

Twitter reveals so much stupidity that I wish I wasn't aware of.

He should come check out CB, and he'll hear plenty . . .

An independent BYU was not qualified for NY6.

Ummm. That's my point. ND got one. BYU was more qualified than some...and at

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

NYC and Japan

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

BCS era there were only 2 teams selected, not 4. G5 teams rarely approach top 2

And all it took was two perfect seasons!

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

Just my take, but ND is not good or proven

Seriously though. 2 years undefeated.

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

idacoug

That seem uncharacteristic of the guy. Random meltdown.

Backcountry

12/7/21 6:17pm

Yeah, this feels really weird.

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

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

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

Happy As Larry

12/7/21 8:00pm

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

Schultz is back

12/7/21 6:28pm

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

Turnpike Lane

12/7/21 6:29pm

Have they accepted a 12 game playoff

germ1

12/7/21 6:48pm

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

Turnpike Lane

12/7/21 6:52pm

I thought after the last meeting someone said an 8 team playoff was still in

OK State would have jumped Cincinnati if they had won

Well, he’s right that the people who said it would never happen were wrong.

"Conspiracy" implies that things are being done in secret. All of the P5 CFP bias has been plainly in the open the

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

Schultz is back

12/7/21 7:23pm

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

SingleStrapBackpack

12/7/21 7:25pm

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

ChadFromCougarTown

12/7/21 6:44pm

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

PHXSUNS31

12/7/21 7:05pm

Isn’t that kind of the point?

ChadFromCougarTown

12/7/21 7:07pm

I’m not exactly sure what you mean here

PHXSUNS31

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

PHXSUNS31

12/7/21 7:16pm

The problem is that perfection doesn't guarantee jack squat. Cincinnati had to go undefeated for 2 years straight, get

I don’t disagree with anything you say, just gotta hope for an expanded playoff

I like Kirk but he goes down a lot of notches for me if this is how he feels

ColonelMustard

So he is basically saying that 90% of the time the system sucks and gets it

How many losses does the 1st place seed have again? Sit down Herb.
