But it''s the same argument. They have an extra game but an easier path.

I know. Being facetious.
Edit: I also don’t think Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio St, SMU (at a minimum) even deserve to be playing in this thing.
Easiest path tot he Semi’s goes through Boise. Complete joke they get a bye. That team has played absolutely nobody outside of Oregon and lost that one. Garbage
Iowa State fading down the stretch did not help either.
"I'd rather be Texas" is a dangerous thing to say, btw
Clemson just won the ACC, over SMU, and SMU is still ranked 6 spots above them. You can't make this stuff up
The fix to this is reseeding after each round like the NFL does. Leave it to college football to **** up a simply playoff
Paging Oregon State and Washington State
Those programs are two of the weakest brands in both football and basketball in the country and drive zero revenue. That’s why they were left behind, not because they are the second programs in their states
Penn State looks much improved under Kotelnicki. Hope they lose him to WVU.

I think one of Texas or Penn St loses and the whole discussion gets shelved.
I was wondering that too because I was thinking that Georgia would be playing in the Peach. I guess with the Cotton Bowl not being part of the quarterfinals that 1 of Boise or ASU would have to travel East and they put Boise in the Fiesta since they were the higher seed.

I think Day is fine against anyone but Michigan, even then last week was a bit of a perfect storm with tOSU oline being banged up and Michigan playing its Super Bowl.
Buckeyes were an eyelash away from winning in Autzen.

I don’t like reseeding at all. Everyone loves a Cinderella run and reseeding makes that way less probable.

Fornelli suggested letting the top 4 seeds rank their choices of opponents in round 2, before the games are played.
Basically reseeding, but with drama, bulletin board material, etc.
Seems fun to me.
Sure but the primary debate is about the best teams getting “punished” with their path. I think CCGs need to be incentivized with a bye, so just reseed. Besides, I think Cinderella teams might upset a team in the first round, but beating two or three top 10 teams in a row isn’t going to happen in football.

But the committee didn't simply rank on fewest losses at all. He's arguing a strawman.
Bama's 3 regular season losses would have left them way out of the discussion if it was the case, and the bubble would have had Miami, BYU, tOSU, Tenneessee, Army (count G5 as a loss), Georgia if they had lost the CCG, Iowa State w/ 2 regular season loses, Boise and ASU if you don't autobid, SMU if you count CCG losses.
Bama board is gold right now. Saban’s run has turned them into the most entitled fan base in America. 3 losses in a transition year and they’ve decided DeBoer is a terrible coach and that there have to be contracts that lock in all their talent from leaving.
I really hope we give this a year or two of seeing how the increased parity from more schools being able to bring transfer talent works out before allowing the SEC and B1G to institutionalize inherent playoff availability advantages.

Our hopes lie with SMU, ASU, Clemson, and Boise.
Gotta get at least 3 wins from that group.
I think ASU, Clemson and SMU can absolutely win some games.
Agree with this. Boise is a no hoper and I actually think that ASU is maybe the best shot to move on. I think they are freaking good
That's crazy. I pulled that out of my ass.
