Scheduling for the CFP.

Additionally it gives the top wild card an advantage really. OSU would play Boise then BYU

I don't have a problem with it.

The BIG and SEC will dominate the participants.

8 of 12 in the first one. ND, BYU, Miami and Boise.

I know there is a lot of football to be played. I just see a flaw in the layout

If all four power fives were equal I wouldn’t see a problem

Yeah
Good points

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yeah
Good points

Had that backwards, meant BYU then Boise but same point.

1st playoff rankings out…..

Automatic spots for conference champions from lesser power 5 conferences is hard to justify.

Sorry but there is a dropoff after the B1G and sec.

What if the big 12 champ ends with 2 losses? That would deserve a first round bye at the 4 spot????

The SEC and BIG champ can also end up with 2 losses....remind me what's your point again?

I don’t either (and I’m not just saying that because Boise is currently slotted in there for the group of 5 representative). If you remove the group of 5 team from the equation and just look at the P4 trams, those seem to be the best 11 candidates at this point in time.

One thing I would say though is at this point BYU at #9 seems low. Undefeated. Handed #13 SMU their only loss on the road and absolutely destroyed #23 K State by 30. There’s still additional time and games to sort everything out though.

Saw that....depending how good one thinks Boise is (or Indiana/TN) way they had it might be better off playing Boise then BYU as opposed to Indiana/TN perhaps?

Then again...extra game means chance for something crazy, injury, etc.
