Should be. I mean, it's not like SMU got boat raced by a weak Oklahoma teamAlabama out?
Oregon, UGA, Clemson and ASU should get the byes. Boise probably will but that hot garbage conference should limit them from getting a week off.
they just prayed harder ...FFS Clemson. You really think God took a break from ignoring prayers from parents with children dying of cancer and allowing children to starve in times of plenty to make sure you guys got a chance to win a football game?
JFC.
I expect to hear a lot of "Vegas would favor Alabama over SMU"well, well, well ... some pr departments will be working overtime overnight to spin the narrative why alabama yet again deserves the benefit of the doubt and should back into the playoff at another team's expense

teams have been punished for ccg losses multiple times beforeThe committee makes their own rules as they go, but I doubt they'll punish a team for losing in a conference championship game. If so, this will be the last year there's a conference championship game.
As I said, it’s all relative. I understand it’s consolidating talent from lower levels to high levels, but there are more P4 teams being competitive with the traditionally elite programs than ever before. Oregon is the closest thing to a truly elite team this year and they are nowhere close to where most of Saban’s Bama teams, the back to back UGA teams, the Natty Clemson teams or Urban’s Ohio State and Florida teams.Oregon took Oklahoma's QB. OU sucks. Ohio State took KSU's QB. KSU sucks. Miami took WSU's QB and has a Heisman candidate. I don't really know what you're basing this on. Oregon State lost starters to Miami and USC and Texas. Talent is being consolidated now more than ever. Evan Williams transferred from Fresno to Oregon and could be an all pro as a rookie in the NFL. There are teams like Indiana or SMU who pop off each year, otherwise it's the usual suspects. The 5 star DL from aTm who transferred went to Ole Miss and Alabama. The 5 star WR went to Oregon. etc,etc, etc. This **** moves in one direction.
I’m kind of disappointed that the selection committee is dressed like slobs. I was picturing a bunch of guys in power suits sitting around a conference table.
Yep. -480 FD.draftkings has smu at -520, which implies a 84% probability of them making it in
Yep. There's a point where it matters and point where it doesn't. The who is better (prolly), vs what have you actually done argument will never end. Don't lose to Vandy and Oklahoma and complain you got "left out".I expect to hear a lot of "Vegas would favor Alabama over SMU"
Different set of rules this time aroundteams have been punished for ccg losses multiple times before
Oregon isn't elite at any one thing, they're just above average at everything. Tonight was impressive, I didn't think the offense could carry when the D had a bad one.As I said, it’s all relative.

I didn’t say it made Rutgers on par with Bama, but more second and third tier programs are landing blue chip recruits and transfers now than what they were able to pull before.
God’s plan, blah, blah, blah. STFU
If you believe in God, then okay. Your choice. If you believe God has a plan for your football team, you are a moron.
ill believe it when i see itDifferent set of rules this time around
Like when the Nubs played for the natty after losing by 4 TDs?ill believe it when i see it
**** is sickening. THANK YOU SKY MAN FOR TOUCHDOWN. (your son has bone cancer)God’s plan, blah, blah, blah. STFU

Also, thank you for Nikko Reed.
And Christian Gonzalez.
Maybe 2 women in pantsuits plus Joy wearing a Dr Pepper jersey. She should get a vote.No women? In power pants suits? Very sexist, Hallet.
