Oso planning to go pro
Go back to the old way (polls) or start a real playoff.Wisconsin, Iowa are ranked. Minnesota lost to Bowling Green is ranked. These three are in while UTSA, Houston, SMU, Louisiana and Coastal Carolina are not.
Beginning to think there are some inherent biases in the CFP committee. Namely, one that thinks the Big 10 is inherently good. Move to 12 teams you cowards.
Cincy being out of the top 4 is a joke. But man Fickell's comments were lame. Pulling the "did you play football?" card on Gary Barta is both super weak, and looks even stupider when you realize that Barta won titles in college playing at NDSU and has been the AD at a big time Midwest football school for 15 years
The playoffs will only include a G5 team under extraordinary circumstances. These don’t qualify. And while people SAY they want Cincinnati, more will watch Alabama.
This may be true, but if they are going to omit undefeated teams that have defeated teams in their own top-10, it's pretty hard for anyone to call themselves a national champion based on their process. I don't watch CFB, just casually follow results and rankings a bit, but if they're going to include multiple teams that have worse losses than Cincinnati's best win and Cincinnati has no losses, it's pretty much just a farcical exhibition.
You are making the mistake of people caring that people think these titles are legit more than they care about the money it will generate. ESPN will call them legit, their fanbase will celebrate, they will have a trophy, and they will cash checks. This is what college football is.
I recognize what they care about, but that doesn't make it any less farcical. It's why they should go to at least an 8-team field (I think 12, but whatever) and why the NCAA Tournament is so awesome. Everyone that would be able to make a legitimate claim to the title gets a chance to play for it.
Make it an 8-team field and you get the exact same arguments over who should be 8, 9 and 10.The multiple basketball tournament expansions over the years haven't exactly ended the debates about who gets in and who doesn't, and whether the selection committee favors the big schools.Cincy made its own bed with underwhelming performances in its last two games against teams with a combined record of 2-13.
Sam Hartman reminds me a bit of Derek Carr. I wish Hartman was two/three inches taller. I really like him though, I’ll be curious if he stays at Wake one more year.
Congrats to Michigam St. for backing up their #3 ranking.
Yeah … it’s become obvious that there are some good teams in the Big 14 college football but zero great teams except Georgia.Oh, and Cincinnati is a fraud too.
