Here we go

[Mudhole]

CFP. Alabama
Clemson
Notre Dame
Ohio State

Just like I said it would be. Just watch and see. I'll be shocked if it don't turn out that way

[msstate7]

Oklahoma and Ohio st gonna have to go for style points this week, and hope like hell bama wins. I think Ohio st gets in too

[MarketingBully]

Only way Ohio State makes the playoff is beating Northwestern 59-0. Anything else, they ain’t getting in.

[Cooterpoot]

Honestly, who cares? It’s the same 5 teams every year. I probably won’t each watch the playoffs. It’s gotten that boring to me.
AL, CL, OSU, OK,ND, GA
They’d throw TX, MI, and PAC team in if they could find a way.

Which teams since 2014 would you replace and with who? I think they've got it right

[BuckyIsAB****]

Notre Dame and OSU will get skull dragged and Clemson will lose to Bama by 2 TDs or so.

I like Dabo and Clemson but they have benefited from a weak conference this year. USCe isnt that good and they rung up 35 on them. They arent on our level defensively like many thought they were

[BuckyIsAB****]

If they wanted the best 4 teams it should be Bama, UGA, Clemson and honestly 4 could be any of the teams listed bc they will all get slaughtered by UGA and Bama

I don' think Cooter was saying it's a conspiracy or they're wrong, just that it's boring as crap to see the same 4-5 teams play each other year after year. Makes you feel like CFB has 3 tiers- the 5-6 top teams that can make the CFP, the rest of the P5 and top G5 who want a decent bowl, and everyone else. There's not much hope of a true "dream season" like we see in Baseball or Basketball where a nobody comes in and takes down blue bloods. There's like 15 teams that can dream of one day cracking that CFP level (USC, Miami, Texas, for example), but for the vast majority of us the CFP will never be in reach. That, plus a lack of different teams, make the CFP seem more stale and uninteresting to me with each year.

I think UGA is down a bit this year. Clemson is the #2 team in my opinion, then ND would be a slight favorite over UGA or OSU or OU etc, but ND could definitely lose to them. Either way though I think the Natty will be Clemson v Bama, with Tua's health and unlucky turnovers the only wildcards that give Clem a chance

How do you fix it then? Personally, I'd love to see each team capped at 70 scholarships with the remaining 15 go to college baseball. I think this would help both sports

Yep ... Boorring. Ain't changing anytime soon.

ND would lose handily to Clemson and UGA.

UGA is looking more and more like last year's UGA every week. They are a solid 2 Clemson a solid 3 and number 4 could be any of the rest because all of them would get killed by Bama and would lose to the other 3

I really like that scholarship solution, but the big football programs that make the NCAA money will never go for it. They know they can get more talent with that last 15 spots than other teams can, thus they have more of a talent gap.

But I don't really have a solution. All I'm saying is that it's boring to watch. I have no idea how to fix it aside from expanding the playoffs and allowing Cinderella UCF's to have a shot at making it interesting

Correct answer above!

Heck, Vandy like to have beat ND at ND this year! Let that sink in...

[Mudhole]

The only way Ohio State doesn't get in is if Georgia beats bama. If that happens then Georgia and bama will get in.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Notre Dame would lose handily to MSU.

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, I don't see how they're going to move from 10 to 4 in one fell swoop by beating Michigan.

They benefit from a weak conference every year. And they essentially lost to Texas A&M.

That's an excellent suggestion.

[Dawg61]

You fix it by going to a 16 team playoff, 9 game conference schedules and eliminating 2 bullshit OOC games. Possibly 2 P5 games as OOC instead of 4 OOC total.

[Political Hack]

It's is boring as shit. I won't watch either in all likelihood. Same script, just a different year.

[TimberBeast]

Notre Dame would lose handily to MSU.

Yep, we could name our score and theirs if we played them.

[LC Dawg]

The CFP was supposed to give us something better than the BCS but it's just the BCS with 4 teams and it actually has made the bigger bowls less meaningful and the smaller bowls are now completely equal exhibition games.
If they don't expand the playoffs I think interest will continue to decrease.

I'm probably in the extreme minority, but I like old school better. I loved the sec being tied to the sugar bowl.

I agree and I always thought the BCS worked perfectly fine for what it was intended to do. The pac 10 and big 10 came up with the playoff for a reason.

I felt the same, Timber... I'm of the opinion that the all-SEC 2012 BCSNC was the driving factor for the 4 team playoffs.

[dawgday166]

I'm of the opinion it was the kick six the next year that kept Bama out of title game. They were told they better fix that shit.

[TimberBeast]

That absolutely was the driving factor, the SEC should have told them both to F off but we gave in. Playoffs were probably inevitable but now we all see that it really doesn’t make much difference.

Yep... All increasing the numbers for the Playoffs did (or will do) is help the SEC.... poor dumb bastards....
