I don't give a damn if the Committee or YOU disagree. If you don't win your conference championship, that shows you weren't good enough to win your conference. If you're not good enough to win your conference, then you don't deserve a shot at the national championship when only 4 teams are allowed in. You've already eliminated yourself, because someone in your own freakin' conference bested you. I know basic logic is tough for you, but do you get it now?
They do because they're in. However, they shouldn't be in. If Penn State was in, they'd have a chance too. So would Auburn. But as usual, you totally don't get the point.
exactly why if you go to 8 teams, you can't take a team like UCF. What if they get lucky and win 2 or 3 games after not facing the onslaught of a P5 schedule, taking injuries, having to get up for game after game, etc.
Just put in top 8. Don’t care if they are champs. Most likely with 8 all power 5 represented.
No, what's idiotic is making the conference championship unimportant by saying if you don't win your own damn conference, you should still get a shot at the national title. They've already eliminated themselves.
Oh, so now your support is the way it's been done historically. That's a joke if there ever was one. Bama didn't play Georgia 'cause they couldn't beat Auburn. Case closed.
The discussion is the way it should be, not way it has been.
Might as well go back to the polls with your way of thinking.
But that's not what it was supposed to be when it started. They've just turned it into that because they can't think beyond what they've been trained to think.
But determining that two of the best teams are in the same conference is purely subjective. Pick the four best conferences then take the champion of each of those conferences. Is it perfect? No, but what we have now certainly isn't perfect and a team would at least have to earn their way in.
The problem with playing "real" teams OOC is you don't know what they will be like when you schedule them....just like Bama playing FSU. Earning your way in is not subjective because you at least have to accomplish something. Bama accomplished nothing.
Winning a title is not subjective. Bama accomplished nothing concrete...show me their trophy or ring.
I disagree. Home field advantage should be a reward and put value on the regular season. Reward teams for having a solid regular season.
I've said that it's an imperfect system and as long as they're going to only have four teams, the teams should have to earn their way in by winning something. Where did I say USC deserved to be in? I said take the four best conferences in a given year (this year the PAC 12 would be left out) and put the conference champions in. At least everyone would know the rules and know what they would have to do first to get in. It's better than what we have now.
Nope, I said based on the precedent they set last year, then OSU should not have gotten in....in fact, I said Wiscy should have gotten in over OSU because of what the criteria used last year. I just wanted to see consistency. But they were wrong last year and they were wrong again this year.
I'm still upset because I want it to be better...why is that so hard to understand?
