I GET it, the system/criteria (evolving) is as so.
But when you have Vanderbilt, Texas and Notre Dame on the outside looking in, come on. These three teams would whip JMU and Tulane.
I will however thank the committee to no end for giving Bama OU again. This is the game I wanted most. I don't care what happens after, I just want the W against OU.

Didn't Tulane already lose to Ole Miss by 5 TD?
Why must we watch that again

Bama doesn't deserve to be in at all.... And Yes, there has to be some Common sense... In a Game played in the Field, who would Pick JMU or Tulane over ND, Vanderbilt or TX?.... TX lost 3 games so they didn't deserve to get in.... ND is the team that got Jobbed the worst.... I think everyone would take ND over Bama in a game played in the field....

Stop crying.
The criteria is the criteria. They didn't just make it up this week.
Blame the ACC........ their conference champion did not even make the college playoffs. Had Virginia beat Duke last night Virginia would have been in the college football playoffs and Virginia is a very weak football team.
That said > I'm not sure Virginia could even beat JMU...... so that's probably a wash.
Tulane was in regardless because they did what they were supposed to do.
Next year it could be Memphis, South Florida or even Navy that makes the college football playoffs by winning the AAC. The AAC Is a very solid football conference.
.
They shouldn't have automatic bids
Just a criteria for 12 best

What they need to do is make the AAC (Tulane, South Florida, Memphis, etc) a P4 instead of that G5 nonsense.......
Then you put your 5 Conference Champions in the playoffs no matter what and that leaves you with 7 at large choices.
And then people can cry about those 7 at large teams> with this and that, that and this. The normal b*******!
At the end of the day those teams that missed the playoffs did not win their conference so none of them should be crying. 🤠🏈🤠
Notre Dame is not even in a conference!
Because they are "Notre Dame"!
Yeah, well......so?
Your watching the playoffs on TV this year. 🏈

And yet you're crying over Texas not being in cause of Arch lol.

Just pointing Texas had 3 wins vs Top 15 teams and went 2-2 vs the Playoff Bracket.
How many wins does Miami have vs the Playoff Bracket..... How many wins does Miami have vs Top 15 teams?....1
Miami got a gift!

None of those teams have 3 losses like Texas.
You should be matching up Alabama vs Texas. They're the only 3 loss team in.
Miami actually beat Florida, something Texas didn't do. If Texas beats Florida they'd be in.
The Playoff is NOT about the 12 BEST teams.
You may say...it should be.
BUT...it's NOT.

Like I said just the 12 best teams.Who cares if you won some crap conference
Duke cares about winning..........................................a crap conference.

Yeah, let's just have 136 Notre Dame's.
You are definitely a thinker!

None of those teams had to play Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M.
Like I said.
Texas is 2-2 vs that garbage playoff bracket!
Miami is 0-0 vs that garbage playoff bracket and still has 2 freaking ugly losses.
Get the crap out of here!

Tulane beat Duke this year.
Beating the ACC Champion doesn't carry as much weight as it used to. In fact, it carried no weight this year. 🤠🏈🤠
But it's crazy because that victory did help Tulane get in the playoffs.
That said > the ACC Champion is supposed to be in the college football playoffs.

They lost to Florida. You have no response for that. No other team in the bracket lost to Florida.
No team has 3 losses in the regular season without the conference championship that's in.
Quote from: Steeler01 on Yesterday at 09:12 AMThey lost to Florida. You have no response for that. No other team in the bracket lost to Florida.
No other team in the bracket lost to Florida State either.
Florida State 31 Alabama 17
Florida 29 Texas 21
Florida 40 Florida State 21

No you're not. Florida isn't Florida state. You're reaching again.
Alabama had 2 losses prior to the SEC Championship as well.
So are you advocating for Texas over Alabama now?
Give it up, Texas is lucky to not have 5 losses and their QB has been ass.
Quote from: Steeler01 on Yesterday at 01:24 PMGive it up, Texas is lucky to not have 5 losses and their QB has been ass.
Alabama could very easily have lost 5 or 6 games as well.
Auburn completely dominated Alabama. Alabama has looked like shit for most of the year truthfully.
The facts are both Alabama and Texas have heavy baggage. But you dismiss Alabama's baggage because you hate Arch Manning.
You're not even a good checker player. You're just a chump.

Auburn didn't dominate Alabama at all.
Who dismisses Alabama's baggage? The reality is they have 2 losses in the regular season and Texas had 3. Alabama didn't have an ugly loss to a Florida.
This is domination
Neither Alabama or TX deserved to be in, The thing that saved their seasons was TA&M completely Shitting the Bed against TX.... They walked in there like a win was an afterthought and A&M did what A&M does and choked in their biggest game of the year against an opponent they should have rolled....
Had A&M won then ND is in and Bama is out, especially is A&M beats GA in the SEC title game....
My only gripe is why does the committe think we want to watch rematches?
Could have had Tulane playing Oregon and JMU playing Ole Miss. Then swap OU or Bama with Miami.
