2017 College Football Season/Playoff Thread

[jroman]

Central Florida are your national champions.

Damn right!!

 

[Tlyons]

Won't be planting any flags tonight.

 

[Triple-S]

god I want the SEC to go to shit.

like. bad.

real. bad.

And that's the thing.

The moment Saban retires? It will.

We’re gonna have an all SEC championship game when the undefeated team, that beat the team that beat both of them, are sitting at home.....

 

[Ohio]

I don't care what anyone says, I wish we got a shot in this. There is no dominate team in CFB this year.

 

[Zog]

Will suck if Alabama wins. I haven't seen Alabama's defense play like this all year. I figured they would get blown out.

 

[Chris]

This is miserable. All SEC championship game coming right up!!

Wont watch.

 

[Ohio]

Fuck this shit. Go Dawgs.

I just want OSU to make the right move and cancel EVERY single competitive non conference game going forward because there is no point to risk a loss anymore. 13-0 con champ always gets it/12-1 con champ usually gets in/11-1 non con champ w/1 loss teams have already gotten in 2 times. Why play anybody in the non con when teams like bama get rewarded?

 

[Triple-S]

I think ESPN wants to give the members of Alabama's defense sexual pleasure.

holy shit.

The CFP is a great concept, but it needs tweaked somehow. UCF shouldn't have been left out. An all-SEC championship is horrible, especially since Alabama lost to the team that lost in the conference championship who just lost to UCF.

Ohio State or Wisconsin deserved a shot. Alabama, despite this win, shouldn't have been in in the first place. UCF could literally be the best team in the country for all we know, but they won't get a shot because they're not in a P5 conference.

Georgia winning REALLY helped me win a lot of money in a bowl pool. Now, it all depends what happens with Bama vs Clemson. I picked Clemson, but Bama winning would help me more. If Bama holds on, the worst I can do is tie for first and go to tie breakers if Bama wins it all ($250). If Georgia wins it, I'll pocket $400.

I killed it on the early games. Confidence pool style where the points are predetermined. I don't even watch a ton of CFB.

 

[bob2the2nd]

Sorry OU blew it guys. I think they would have mopped the floor with Alabama.

Back to drinking.

This sucks

Going to compare apples to pears.

In College Basketball, in it's Championship game? That's happened like..."once" in recent, modern memory.

1985 with 'Nova and Georgetown. You look back at that though and it was truly special. 'Nova was an 8 seed, and Georgetown was a 1 seed with John Thompson as coach, Patrick Ewing as his player.

It seemingly happened organically though. It wasn't forced.

Same could be said about the NFL. We all know the tales of some random ass wildcard team getting a horse shoe up their ass and taking home the Super Bowl in spite of not even winning their division. We've seen it.

And really? That's the sort of balance that needs to be pulled off.

Would anyone here really be as pissed off if...Alabama had been some sort of wildcard team in an 8-12-16 team playoff? No. But if you're going to do this sort of 4 team thing? The critera has to be insanely "tight".

It's got to be two basic things
1. undefeated teams (PERIOD) eat first. I don't give a shit if you're Akron or Ohio State.
2. conference champions with the best SOS get in.

That's it. 'Bama should have never gotten in.

I think we can all agree a tighter more defined criteria is required for this thing. Personally I like the 6 team idea with five Power 5 champs being in, but that’s a century away from being a possibility for all intents and purposes.

Awful, though. What we got this year is bad.
