Harvey Keitel in National Treasure............. "Well, how about now?"

I'd post the meme, but you have to have a special license to do that now...........

Ha. Congrats to your Bucks. They got it rolling now. That Michigan loss really kicked them in the ass and got them to get their shit together.

Next problem is all the pats on the back and everyone now calling them the favorites. This 4 game playoff run with extra time between games is pretty crazy.

12/22 - Sunday
1/1 - Wednesday
1/10 - Friday
1/20 - Monday

Didn't pay to be a top-4 seed did it? These are some kick ass matchups.

(5)Texas (13-2) vs (8)Ohio St (12-2)
(6)Penn St (13-2) vs (7)Notre Dame (13-1)

Now, what if they simply seeded the teams as they were in the rankings instead of the whole top-4 conference champs and so forth?

(1)Oregon (13-0)*
(2)Georgia (11-2)*
(3)Texas (11-2)
(4)Penn St (11-2)

(12)Clemson (10-3)* @ (5)Notre Dame (11-1)
(11)Arizona St (11-2)* @ (6)Ohio St (10-2)
(10)SMU (11-2) @ (7)Tennessee (10-2)
(9)Boise St (12-1)* @ (8)Indiana (11-1)

This probably needs to come to fruition.
Heard someone on Get Up say could happen but not for next year....said needs 100% approval and doubt commish of lesser conferences would approve it.

Imo the playoff game dates extend way too far out. 1/20 championships is ridiculous

I heard the same sports talk show today.
So we are going to have to put up with another year of these bullshit seeding layout. Because these smaller less talented conferences actually think they deserve the 3 and 4 seeds when the rest of the CFB world knows it’s not deserved

So next year I hope whoever gets paired up with playing the 3 or 4 seeds run the score up on them.

I posted all the above yesterday................

yes, the above are what the seedings should have been.
This would be even better. Eliminate the conference championship game unless necessary (Arizona St vs Iowa St). That way, an undeserving team like Clemson wouldn't get in and SMU wouldn't be punished.

(1)Oregon (12-0)*
(2)Texas (11-1)*
(3)Penn St (11-1)
(4)Notre Dame (11-1)

(12)Arizona St (11-2)* @ (5)Georgia (10-2)
(11)Miami (10-2) @ (6)Ohio St (10-2)
(10)Boise St (11-1)* @ (7)Tennessee (10-2)
(9)Indiana (11-1) @ (8)SMU (11-1)*
*conference champion

I guess to be fair when this was created there was still a PAC and OU and TX still in B12....Clemson also still really good.
