Why?
If the Conferences are ok with such a thing, who are we to say no.

And the Committee has 2 spots to correct that.



How many times in 1 year do you think such a thing could happen???

Because you are basically throwing away some 1 loss teams good season because some 5 loss team from a weak division played a good night of football. It literally makes zero sense.

No neutral site games until the championship game which should always be played in the Rose Bowl.

Everyone keeps throwing these 4-5 loss scenarios out there.

Show me a couple.

Leave the committee. Top 8. I fail to see how being a P5 conference champion should automatically qualify you. Had Northwestern pulled off an upset in last year's Big 10 game, you'd have a five loss team in the playoff.

The CCG creates a bye week for those that didn't make the game. If a 5 loss team won the CCG, at least they won something instead of sitting home.

2005 FSU was 8-4 after beating 10-1 #5 VT
2012 Wisconsin with 5 losses stomped #14 Nebraska
2012 Georgia Tech was 6-6 and lost 21-16 to #13 FSU after a late INT
2012 UCLA had 6 losses and lost 27-24 to #8 Stanford in championship game

So yes, those last two werent finished, but the opportunities were right there, and a play away from happening.

there isn’t because this system now doesn’t allow it. But last year Northwestern was a 4 loss team. Under your system they are in the playoffs if they beat Ohio state.

I imagine your opinion would change drastically if 9-4 northwestern made it in over 11-2 Oklahoma because Oklahoma didn’t win their conference champ game while NW did.

So, who were the conference winners in those scenarios???

The only thing not accounted for is if an independent(such as Notre Dame or BYU) is considered for a 7th or 8th spot, they don't play a 13th game.

Highest ranked team from the conference in a poll. Similar to Ohio State and Alabama getting in without winning Conf.

Who cares? You make it sound like a fucking travesty if they would would have pulled an upset.

In every sport the winners of conferences and/or divisions move to the playoffs. For a P5 Champion not to move on, makes zero sense.

 

[outofyourmind]

Can someone remind me of the last P5 Champion with 4 or 5 losses???

They would be a committee pick ... after the teams are picked the committee could reseed or Notre Dame and BYU could join a conference.

2012 Wisconsin, 2008 VT, 2005 FSU

 

[mrwallace2ku]

You really are a moron, you know?

Oregon's Conference Rankings for Defensive Categories:
Total Defense: 2nd (UTAH #1)
Scoring Defense: 2nd (UTAH #1)
Turnovers Gained: 1st
Passing Yards Allowed: 2nd (UTAH #1)
Rushing Yards Allowed: 2nd (UTAH #1)

whose the PAC12 team ranked ahead of oregon at #1 in 4-5 of the categories listed above?

lemme guess…UTAH!

Every sport doesn’t have a committee choosing who goes. Almost every sport doesn’t have polls used in them. This isn’t every sport. It makes zero sense to send a 5 loss team to a playoff over 1 and 2 loss teams. That’s exactly what his system does.

Isn’t that what all the major sports leagues do in America?

The World Champion Washington Nationals were a wildcard ... The 2006 St. Louis Cardinals won their division with an 83-78 record ... and then won the World Series. Anything can happen in the playoffs that is why they are fun to watch.

If a 4 loss team gets in the playoffs ... beat them!!
