The ESPN August CFP

Man, how off can you be?

 

[adam.vol]

That’s not a simulation. That’s a random selection.

 

[savannahfan]

That's just their way of agitating their dwindling viewer base to make social media conversation. Hell, even with their lack of knowledge on the subject, they know better than that. (I think)

We need a laugh react.

28. Tennessee

Conference title games mean nothing. Not sure how many years in a row people need to see this happening to understand

 

[IMissTheMidRangeGame]

After weeks of whining and campaigning texa$$ was left out of the CFP. Love to see it

Well, the thing is, the CFP projections just came out and people will react. As long as the games are played, we will do that. You being so much wiser than everyone else won't change that.

The Catholics are going to be quite feisty this morning.

I’m not wiser than anyone else. But the CFP has made it clear for years these conferenc title games are all reward and zero risk.

ND needs to join a conference. Glad they got left out.

 

[knox73]

Other teams receiving votes….. always glad to receive votes but more would look better.

 

[VolGirl81]

I think they got it right for a change. However, I question bama in there, uga rolled them. ND needs to join a conference or get rid of conference champions or have 2 divisions in each conference-or best 2 in the conference based on a metric that all conferences must use.

They're going to need a "fast lane" confession booth.

Lane 1: Those who took the Lord's Name in vain after seeing the CFP rankings. 10 times or less......

BYU would say there was a ton of risk.

BYU was already out, nothing changed.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Of course it was unlikely Vanderbilt was going to get in anyway, but I think it was funny they didn't make the second team out slot

It’s like there’s a reason they don’t start announcing these in August or something.

I think it was the right call. All 3 finished the regular season 10-2. Bama's strength of schedule and strength of record were much better than Miami or ND's. If you didn't let them in you would be punishing them for reaching the SEC championship game, whereas ND deliberately avoids a conference and Miami couldn't reach its conference game. Then it's Miami or ND and Miami beat ND on the field.

It does count for something, or Ohio State would still be #1.

This wasn’t picks by the so called experts, this was a sim on the college football video game.

#1 played #2. Both teams came out of the game being #1 and #2. Meaningless

it's not meaningless. It made a difference in plays who in the standings.. If it was meaningless...Ohio State would still be #1
