BBBWWWWWAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! eiu gets dropped FROM Nashville!

I drive through there at least twice a year to and from Florida. Hard to believe but driving through there is worse than Atlanta. To just stay on I-24 you have to merge left or right, often at a moment's notice, seems like 5 or 6 times. I've never really stopped except to sleep overnight a couple of times.

Not worse than Atlanta, but a close second. Seems there's always construction going on. And, seems there's always an accident south of the city heading into the hills. Hit an hour delay returning from Florida last year. Not a fan.

LOL Try Houston.
 
OU and A&M.
A&M is the best argument.
I guess if you're Ohio State you should just schedule a one game season, you know your second game will be the first round of the playoffs if you win the one game.

Some teams need 13 games played. Some only need 6 games played. The committee has been very clear in the fact that college football is rigged for a handful of programs and stacked against others.
The only way to somewhat “unrig” the system is to go to 8. 5 P5 champs. 3 at large. One should be reserved for a non P5

Even in normal years there’s not enough OOC data to truly determine a best conference.

I support your proposal as long as all conferences do away with divisions and matchup 1 vs 2 in conference championships. SEC regularly gets the benefit of their top two teams not playing (A&M, for example, this year) and almost always would steal one (if not both) of those at-large spots. Championship weekend becomes a true de-facto playoff round in-conference except losers still have a chance at an at-large spot.

I also would prefer the Group of 5 form their own playoff instead of depending on that one guaranteed spot. You’d have to think the money would be better than the collective amount of money from their bowl destinations.

I don’t support further expansion because bowl season would become completely devalued.

Not sure if any fans or staff are there yet or not but there was a large explosion downtown Nashville.
 
3 loss ISU deserved to get in? And you call me a homer.

With your lack of brain cells, I was waiting for you to say Iowa deserves to be involved with their stellar performance this year. But maybe you figured out as they never beat anyone with a winning record.

Of course you're right, but the current committee wouldn't have to change the rules every single year to help Ohio State, they just do. It would be very easy to have consistent criteria instead of completely changing the criteria week to week and year to year.

If people on the committee had the slightest bit of moral integrity they would have very easily disqualified the entire Big Ten and Pac 12 this year because of their previous statement that playing 12 games disqualifies teams when others have 13.

It's not so much that Ohio State doesn't belong this year, it's that their previous criteria makes Ohio State a total joke to even be considered. TCU had a better SOS than Ohio State, TCU had a DRASTICALLY better single loss than Ohio State, TCU had better wins than Ohio State, the sole reason they got dropped 3 spots and Ohio State skyrocketed in front of them was the committee said it was really important to have 13 games instead of just a pitiful tiny 12. Fast forward and now 6 games is awesome when others played 11.

Didnt the B10 lobby against the B12 from having a championship game because some old rule said you needed more than 10 teams to play one?
I think they finally gave in at the end when the other conferences said they didn't care.
