Doesn't look like they're really taking the Conference Championship Game results into account other than the winner. - Dano Dec 2, 09:02 8
- It’s a bit of bullshit to drop a team who qualified for a title game in favor of teams not good enough to make one. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:06 7
  - On the other hand, if you have two 2-loss teams and one beat the other head to head. - Dano Dec 2, 09:35
  - Yeah, they've said they wouldn't penalize conference title losers, but I'll believe it when I see it. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 2, 09:18 5
    - If they're not penalizinig conference title losers then are SMU and Boise St getting in even if they lose? -- nm - Dano Dec 2, 09:55 2
      - If Clemson were to lose, that's a 9-4 team in the playoffs which makes no sense. Especially in that weak conference. -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 09:59 1
        
        Right now Clemson's ranking would not put them in the playoffs as an at large team. SMU and Boise St's ranking would. - Dano Dec 2, 10:12
    - I'm not sure that's a good approach to ignore the outcomes TBH -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 09:55 1
      - I agree. You shouldn't be able to gain with NO possibility of loss from the game. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 2, 10:00
the only way to solve this is to expand the field to 24 teams -- nm - mr mooch Dec 2, 08:56 2
- 48! -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Dec 2, 09:55
- This is also why it’s great to pay these guys—an extra 2-3 games increases injury concerns -- nm - Trending Dec 2, 08:57
Bold prediction that they’re not going to find a way to squeeze ‘Bama in there somehow. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 08:53 1
- Miami gets squeezed out, maybe? Indiana getting jobbed wouldn’t surprise -- nm* - Trending Dec 2, 08:54
Now we gotta see if they give Boise State a home game or not (despite the seeding) -- nm - Trending Dec 2, 08:46 1
- I thought remaining games were neutral site after the first 4 -- nm - rollo Dec 2, 08:48
