They proved that in 2011 too.Alabama proved that winning the conference isnt a prerequisite last season.
I think it was dumber then, actually.

Which looks a lot worse than Oklahoma losing to Texas on a last-second FG in October now too. LSU didn't look nearly as good down the stretch and Texas wound up being better than people thought they were at the time.Yeah, let's just pretend Georgia didn't lose by 20 to LSU...
It’d be more “fair” if every conference had an Alabama type team to get past to win the conference.
They were also routed by LSU though. Which still isn't as bad as Oklahoma's loss.It’d be more “fair” if every conference had an Alabama type team to get past to win the conference.
Nope, aint gonna. I grew up and still live in the Florida Panhandle. That means in the late 40s through the 70s it was a combination of Roll Tide/War Eagle/Gators being screamed outta car windows all through the night. We were and still are on the geographical border between all three. Back then we slept with our windows open and the drunken Tide fans ruled the night.
LSU ended up a top 10 team and Texas did not.They were also routed by LSU though. Which still isn't as bad as Oklahoma's loss.
They both were 9-3 before Texas had to play an extra game. And for some reason there is a HUGE discrepancy between the CFP committee and everyone else because Texas is higher in both the AP and Coaches Polls.LSU ended up a top 10 team and Texas did not.
I dont believe that #4 losing to #1 by one score in the final minute warrants a drop.
Herbstreit said that again this morning. In what universe do you move up after a loss? I don’t care if the loss was to the #1 team, you don’t move up unless everyone ahead of you lost too, which Clemson and ND (who didn’t play) did not.Georgia had their chance and blew it. I don't see why they should get another one in a season where there are so few games that allegedly makes them all matter. To keep Georgia at #4 or move them up to #3 (Kirk Herbstreit actually said this last night, wtf) would be to say that results don't matter - which is a pretty terrible precedent to set.
Georgia apparently will be playing Texas in the Sugar Bowl, should be a good game.
Good they did the right thing.
Lincoln Riley must have sh!t in Kirk’s corn flakes this morning. You could tell even the other analysts on ESPN were like “whoa, take it easy” regarding Kirk’s vehement defense of UGA.lol. Kirk is livid that UGA didn't get in. Huh?
The world where ND doesnt have a conference championship to play in. Everyone knows Clemson is gonna beat the brakes off ‘em. The competition level is outstanding.Herbstreit said that again this morning. In what universe do you move up after a loss?

I’m a Buckeyes fan, but I think Oklahoma absolutely deserves the #4 spot.
I’m pretty tired of it myself. Most people here wanted UF/UCF.Michigan gets to beat Florida's ass again. We play Florida more than we play Minnesota and Illinois and they are in our conference.
Yeah, that would've been much better and Michigan never plays LSU. Instead we get Florida and Michigan again.I’m pretty tired of it myself. Most people here wanted UF/UCF.
So far ---
Navy-- 0
Army -- 10
I hope Haskins comes back too, but I don’t think winning or not winning the Heisman will have much effect on his decision. It’ll be more based on where he’s projected to go in the draft. Most mock drafts I’ve seen have him as a mid-1st rounder if he leaves OSU this year. All that $ could be too tempting to pass up.Happy for Kylar Murray. (Spelling?)
Kinda glad Dwayne didn't win. I'm hoping he'll come back to OSU next season.
I'm good with four teams taking part in the mini college payoff format as it's currently designed. It's sure a lot better than simply naming a #1.These bowl games are meaningless. Please expand the playoffs!!!!!
I still watch but they are still meaningless. I would like to see an 8 team playoff.I'm good with four teams taking part in the mini college payoff format as it's currently designed. It's sure a lot better than simply naming a #1.
As far as all the other bowl games go. I watch all that I can and I'm entertained by most of them.
Most of these games will be or have been meaningless in the grand scheme of things regardless of playoffs, BCS, or whatever. I had fun watching games like EMU/GaSo today and it's good exposure for the schools and teams involved.I still watch but they are still meaningless. I would like to see an 8 team playoff.
With an 8 team playoff, it'll just be additional Bowl Games added to the end of the schedule. I believe there are currently 41 Bowl Games played by 80 teams. Adding another level for an 8 team playoff wouldn't decrease the number of 'meaningless' games, it would only add more games.I still watch but they are still meaningless.

I dont see anything negative to playing more football games. Who doesn't love football?With an 8 team playoff, it'll just be additional Bowl Games added to the end of the schedule.

Also, by adding games to the schedule, there's additional risk of injury by more playing time. As it is now, those that are lucky enough to be considered to get to the NFL many times don't compete in their post season NCAAF career fearing an injury that could derail their value.
Most all of these bowls are meaningless in determining a national champion but many still make 3 hours in front of a television entertaining.
How does the FCS have 24 teams in their playoffs? Why can't the FBS add more teams it just makes more sense and it would generate alot of money.
Mark richt will probably be available in a year or two.Man Charlie Strong sucks.
How would an 8 team playoff make the games that are being played now any less meaningless....I still watch but they are still meaningless. I would like to see an 8 team playoff.
