If Hoosiers (also) had Ducks & Domers on their schedule they would not been in the pigskin final 12.

These "if's" are all dumb talking points. There are literally thousands of "If's" that can be made.
If SMU beats Clemson, Clemson is out
If Alabama beats a very average Oklahoma they are in
If Alabama beats a very average Vanderbilt they are in
If Miami beats Syracuse they are in
If Miami beats Syracuse, GT, and wins the ACCCG they are in with a bye.

Do you see how dumb these "if's" are.

The facts are Indiana won 11 games against the schedule they had and the others that didn't make the playoffs didn't.

Some say ND doesn't belong because they lost to NIU and their schedule wasn't as difficult as it normally is.

Deserving or Best?

16 teams is too much. The talent gap is just too great right now, even with NIL. Game #3, close to being a blowout as we near halftime.
I dont disagree, but it's a bad look if south Carolina, Bama, Miss get in over ASU, IU, Boise. This way you can have both and say have at it and no one can say we didn't get a fair chance or right teams weren't selected.

THAT WAS A TOTAL BEATDOWN!

Cignetti ran his mouth all week before they played OSU - just like he did against ND. He earlier said OSU sucks. The final score was OSU 38 - Indiana 15 and the score doesn't come close to the beatdown OSU put on Indiana.

OSU and ND were the only two top 25 teams Indiana played all year and it showed against both. Indiana and SMU should not have been in the Playoffs
Did you watch the IU v OSU game?
IU had their punter drop a snap deep in their own end. They gave up a punt return for a TD and Day tried to run up the score with a very late TD when they probably should have taken a knee. Karma got him the next week vs Michigan.

Deserving or Best?

I think the best solution is to play 12 game seasons, no conference championships, 16 team playoff over the course of 4 weeks. This way you get the most talented and also the most deserving a chance. Is it perfect? No, buy I think it's closest to fair.

Deserving or Best?

A team that loses three games against mediocre teams, no matter what conference, is not one of the best teams deserving to play for the National Championship. Doesn't matter how much politicking is involved.
2nd place in the ACC does not belong, no matter how much politicking is involved. I don't even know if the ACC champ belongs.

SMU PSU Thread

And Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois.

If SMU was in the SEC they MIGHT win 6 games. And you know it. The 2 teams you’re comparing aren’t playing comparable competition.

I don’t have a problem with the ACC champion being in the playoff. But this season, the ACC is not on the same level as other conferences. They’re just not. Pick the BEST 12 teams and stop being worried about offending people.
Best 16, no one should get a bye
