"Follow The Money."
Always.
Sure, even though the teams and fans had spent thousands of dollars to participate in and watch the games, they should have been canceled. If the schools and fans lost money, that's just too bad.
I would say conference championships go away starting in 2024 with expanded playoffs. No need to play
Whenever $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
is involved, there is a need.
No. Not if you are KS. They have zero chance to make playoffs. But they can tell their kids they are conference champs and beat TCU — the team that went to nattys and — what if tcu winsvit all? Then KS beat the natty champs. That’s awesome
It’s called pride. Both teams should strive for it. Doing your best. Always
Kansas St, UNC, LSU, UCF & Utah (not sure about Purdue) would have made the playoff with wins in the 12 team playoff coming in '24.
UNC and LSU doubtful with 4 losses; 3 losses if conference championships go away. UNC has not been ranked in top 12 by playoff committee for at least last 2 rankings.
Most of the college teams have no chance of winning the national championship before the first snap of the season. Maybe they should cancel their regular season games as well.
Mostly. Bama (for some reason) was still live for the playoff after SC lost on Friday.
TCU didn't know that they had a safety cushion. A blowout loss likely means they did not get in.
The BUG10 does not get two teams in the playoff if Michigan lost to Purdidn't. So the Wolverines were really trying to win one for the Buckeyes.
For "some" reason? Because they lost both games to highly ranked teams on the last plays of the game. Not saying I agree or disagree that they should have gotten in, but most certainly understand the discussion. Not a soul on this board would take TCU over Alabama if they faced off.
Indeed. But the committee just couldn't do it. It would be too blatant. W/L is really all that's ever mattered. And that's pretty much the singular criteria. And they've shafted TCU once before. So they just had to swallow this one.
But TCU's pretty good. They're totally capable of giving Michigan a game. And let's not forget, even as you say both of Bama's losses were literally last play of the game against good teams, Bama had other games they nearly lost, vs A&M, Texas and Ole Miss and I think it's probably correct to say, just as an opinion, that they weren't quite as good this year. Irrespective of their record.
Yeah but as Sassy said, Bama needed lot's of help to beat Texas, which TCU didn't get. I still don't understand why 10-2 Bama is ranked above 10-2 Tennessee
