CFP rankings- so weird

[bleedrng]

I think 12 is enough personally. 8 would probably better honestly.

No, not letting some conferences get an auto-bid. Sixteen with no byes, or 24 with byes.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Way too many. There are not that many title worthy teams. More games than necessary to crown a champion.

Let’s just all admit, $ankey got played.

9 games next year will be worse and the Little10 will have (6) 2 loss or less teams….LOL

He didn't. There's no need for every SEC team to be playing an additional two MAC/Sunbelt/American/Mountain West/CUSA teams on top of an FCS team. It's a matter that's been on the table for this conference since like 2014.

 

[TrueOrange]

Hear me now that the ONLY way college football survives is with a March Madness like bracket (32 or 64 teams). Period! Corporates are going to quit sponsoring bowls as they get zero return on investment. Everyone that has an NFL chance, sits out, and no one travels to see next years talent. Just saying the only way this survives with NIL and NFL reach is through the fact a Cinderella may exist. My two cents.

Yeah, that they're not getting zero return or losing money on those "investments" sponsoring the other bowl games kind of makes the rest of the argument fall apart...

pfffft, tell that to indiana

Oh shoot! Did Oregon either lose a second game or fall out of the top 10?

 

[TrueOrange]

Didn’t they beat Oregon at Oregon?

Not just beat them but bullied them around all game. Oregon's offense only scored a single FG in the second half and that was it, ending the game with less than 200 yards passing and less then 85 yards rushing. If not for an errant pass that got returned for a pick 6 in the 4th quarter, they would have lost by 17 (if not more) points.

Huge big 10/Notre Dame bias in the ratings. Always has been and always will be.

 

[cgrish]

8 team playoff based on the BCS ranking system

I say 16 off of bcs ranking system

 

[deatojl]

UT also has zero quality wins.

But without losses to bottom feeders

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

But without losses to bottom feeders

We are the (pre-2025) Penn State of the SEC this year. No losses against teams we really shouldn't lose to, no wins against teams we weren't expected to beat.

Although we were supposed to beat OU...

Yep. Tony Petitti is Greg Sankey's daddy.

If you are implying the Little10 9 game schedule is equivalent to the SEC 9 game schedule in strength then I got beach from property to sale you in Tennessee at a great price.

 

[KTrain]

Their overall schedule is mediocre. But they have 5 wins against teams at .500 or better. That's 5 more than Tennessee.

Wrong UT, has a win over a 7&5 but go ahead an accentuate the negative & eliminate the positive on your team if that makes you feel better. All our 3 losses are to top 10 payoff teams and we beat one of them in regulation but we missed a give me FG as time expired nothing their D did, even Kirby said they got outplayed.
