Notre Dame has no business in the playoff

[YLGator]

Hell, I want a 64-team playoff like basketball. So sue me.

Expect to be served soon. BTW has basketball season started yet? I don't really know as I only pay attention to the tournament.

Law, I realize you don't want something like that because it would supposedly make regular season games "meaningless", but I've always hated the system that when you lose one freaking game then your season is usually over. It's ridiculous. No other sport is set up so when you lose a single game that your chances at winning it all go right down the drain.

I really have no problem with ND's schedule. They played zero FCS schools. It's not their fault that some of the teams are having down years.

This exactly what I love about CFB. It gives games in September tons of juice. No other sport has that intensity at the opening bell. I'd hate to lose that.

Which makes the regular season so damn important. That's why it's the greatest sport in the land!

having 8 teams in would get a an undefeated ucf, a 1 loss osu, a 1 loss okla, and a 2 loss mich/uga

This is exactly why they need to be in a conference. Their schedule was weak. FSU, USC and Stanford were all garbage this year. Were they in a conference, they would have had to go through the best team in the conference whoever that is.

UCF? So I guess the NFL should start putting the Grey cup champ in their playoff as well?

Oh.... I love that part.

I love watching Payton Manning and the Voles crying in September.

Like UCF?

Ball State would lose to 75% of FCS schools.

I disagree. A 64 team college football playoff would be astounding. It would triple ratings and revenue.

 

[YLGator]

Like UCF?

Sure, if they want to be completely irrelevant.

Hatred aside, the criteria are supposed to be the entire season of work. That means losses and wins are evaluated.

OSU has one very bad loss and some poor wins as well so they have a lot of negative baggage.

OK has one not so bad loss which they overcame.

Georgia has two not too bad losses and one very close loss to the number one team.

ND I don't know, they have no losses, no really good wins, etc.

I am biased but ND belongs out.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Like UCF?

You really comparing a team that had four top 25 wins and 11 wins vs P5 teams to a team that has one P5 win in it's history?

 

[oxrageous]

UCF would beat Notre Dame, even without their QB.

It would be like hoops...no one paying attention until the tourney.

well they're in a conference, like you said. ND is going to be in the playoff as an independent, so they are relevant, w/o a conference

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Georgia has two not too bad losses and one very close loss to the number one team.

Uga has zero good wins. Zero.

I always wondered why Walgreens and CVS put the pharmacy at the rear of the store. Why did I have to walk through the tampon and hair roller aisles to get my Viagra?
