Bama's schedule is pretty bad but..

This will be my response to you. I hope you did not attend Alabama as I would hope they would have thought their students to make their points without being laced with profanity. But, I only have pointed out the FCS teams on Alabama's schedule.

And yet you state about USF "while UCF has nothing on it's schedule but those games". That bit of ignorance should disqualify from commenting about college football. UCF's entire conference schedule is made up of FBS teams. You can look it up.

UCF played Austin Peay last year, they played Southern South Carolina this year. Their only P5 team last year was a 4-8 Maryland, their only P5 this year is 3-4 Pitt.

90% of college football teams play FCS teams, and as far as I know they are all treated as they should be - not worth fucking shit.

The best opponent on UCF's regular season schedule last year?

Memphis.

I don't care where you went to school, you're a dumbass.

Bama also may be more likely to lose to Fresno St. than the bottom of the SEC. That may be a 5% chance compared to a 2% chance, but it's still more likely. lol

Maybe so, but I don't think it is anywhere near as likely as the bottom of the PAC losing to Fresno St. Oregon St now has two wins in two years....the teams they have beaten(both FCS) are a combined 1-17, Southern Utah got that big win on Saturday over 2-4 Sacremento State. Two wins in two years over 2 FCS teams that have two wins between them. Oregon State wouldn't even be a competitive FCS team, let alone G5.

Can't believe there was a thread that was basically an homage to Waffle House and the Bama fans still can't leave this thread.

Not necessarily. As Ron G. pointed out, Bama was likely the best team in cfb last year, but had tOSU gone unbeaten, Bama likely doesn't get the chance to show it.

If Ohio State was unbeaten they would have been one of the 4 best, instead they got clubbed like a baby seal by Iowa.

But you said UCF plays nothing but those games in response to my comment about playing FCS teams. It is your quote not mine. So who is the dumbass, there is a mirror in your bathroom, go there for the answer.

Noting but cupcake games.

Or are you another one of those so desperate to make a point oyu need to harp on such crap rather than what people mean? You'll notice I didn't sit here and call you stupid for saying UCF only plays FBS teams when you are wrong about that, because it's not the fucking point. You're stupid because you sit here and talk about Alabama's schedule while at the same time trying to claim UCF got screwed.

lol Yeah they did.

But you get the point. Ultimately, Bama was the best team in the country, but 1 bad game could have cost them the chance prove it in the cfp.

And I understand the "if they didn't get there, they weren't one of the 4 best" mentality, but when you consider differences in schedule strength, conference strength, etc. I think we all know that, the better overall team doesn't always get there/win.

Football isn't basketball. There is a reason that some sports have multiple game finals.

I am fine if we occasionally miss one. If tOSU had got in instead of us last year, so be it, we lost to Auburn, I would rather keep the current format than water it down.

Oh, I agree to a point. Football, at every level will always have the possibility that the best team may not be the team that wins because it's a "one off",
situation. So there's always the possibility of the true best team not winning or getting a shot at it because of 1 bad game or some team coming out and playing way over their heads.

As for watering it down. Personally, I'd like to see the playoff expanded to 8, but no more.

However, if we are going to stick to 4, then I'd like to see something done to even out some of the scheduling discrepancies.

In most years Alabama would not have made it last year. If we had the same performance with any of the previous 3 playoffs, we would have sat at home. It was only the poor performance of other teams that allowed it.

And as far as the playoffs go - that's the way it should be.

We were the 4th team anyway, so it doesn't even matter that much. The teams that really deserved it all made it, Alabama got in because there was an empty spot that needed to be filled, not because we had legitimate claims at the top spot.

In a perfect playoff, they would only add a 4th team as needed and Alabama wouldn't have made it at all last year, but they want that 4th spot so here we are.

Now, if you want to talk about shit being fucked up, it's the SEC and conferences in general who are stuck on AQ with the divisions, locked in imbalance and so on that leads to unresolved issues due to poor format.

It shouldn't have come down to us not getting our dicks kicked into the dirt by Iowa. I understand the committee's decision.

Come on, read the post. I said UCF's conference schedule is made up of all FBS team and made no mentions of the FCS teams on their schedule. So how could call me stupid when you were the one who said in reply to my comment on Alabama playing FCS teams that (paraphrased) "that is all that is on UCF schedule". I am not the one who said that, you are.

Here is a possibility: All P5 Champions (if the conference choses to have a CCG then they run the risk of their best team not being in the tourney. Then the highest ranked G5 conference winner and then 2 at large. The at large teams do not get to count their FCS wins and must have at least 10 wins (9 wins in the rare occasion of no 10 win teams)

Here’s a hot take for you all, USC was screwed over more than Ohio State because there were no good OoC wins for the B1G going into the bowl season.

Let me try this again.

Yet, only one of those teams could get into the cfp without even playing in their own CCG.

That's because it's harder to win the SEC than it is to win the National Championship.

I agree with this, but not about adding more conference games, we should all be playing 8, no conference should have divisions, best two teams are in the CCG, with the conferences each deciding what best means. Every P5 team has to play two P5 OOC games or you are not eligible. If you are a G5 team and want to be eligible, you should have to play at least 3 P5's. Also FCS games do not count for bowl eligibility purposes.

How long was this bet, because Captain Underboobs caused me to take 3 minutes to read this post. She is very distracting.

Tougher OOC

Fresno State,Colorado State and Mercer

or

Oklahoma,Army,UNLV?

bear in mind one of these teams played an extra game against a top 5 team

But this is also getting into scheduling discrepancies as well as CCGs
