I think the point to all of this, if there is one, is that 12 teams is more than enough. There will be years where a 9-12 seed does well, it wasn’t this year.

Yea, I was cool with 8. 12 is fine. But that should be it for this playoff.

I think reseeding from the final rankings is a must starting in the quarters. It rewards the top 2 seeds if you do that. Texas and Penn State shouldn’t have an easier path than Oregon and Georgia.

Would be the following matchups

Oregon vs Arizona State
Georgia vs Boise
Texas vs Ohio State
Penn State vs Notre Dame

Just don’t give anyone an automatic bye.

Give the byes to the top 4 seeds.

Conference title earns a seat at the table, nothing more.

I’m a fan of being able to steal a teams seeding if you beat them.

I think after next year we can just expect 3 to 4 teams from both the SEC and BIG.

Based on this year rankings, my only beef would have been Penn State over Notre Dame

Wouldn't have bothered me much with Oregon, Texas, and Georgia being 3 of the 4

The 4th best team in the league and the 10 seed in the playoffs would struggle to beat SMU, MIAMI, or Clemson in the playoffs

Think you can make a great case about ASU beating them as well.

Penn State is a better version of Indiana but nothing special as well

BIG isn't as good as you want them to be
Being good has nothing to do with it. Everything changes after the court ruling next year. The NCAA is out, the BIG and SEC are going to use tv ratings to rule the world, and it’s not like ESPN is going to stop them.

What they did to you?
lol messing around, but I don’t like Oregon fans much. OU flat out got robbed in a game there by PAC review officials, that’s where it started. I’m sure most of their real fans are cool though.

That’s what happens when you try to avoid rematches in round 1 and keep az st from having a home game in round 2
