Please no more talk of expanding playoffs


Dec 8, 2019, 3:23 PM

None of those 5-8 ranked teams are worthy of playing for championship this year.

UGA at 5. What a maroon. Those preseason recruiting rankings are really helping them.

what i take from the final rankings

No! Even if we had lost last night, we were still in. A Georgia team that embarrassingly lost at home to usUc and got totally blown out by LSU would not have leaped over us. When our game came on the air last night the ESPN talking heads were already conceding that we would make the playoffs win or lose. There were no other 1 loss teams left that could overtake us.

agreed, hasn't been a single time in the last 5 years where more than 2-3 teams belonged and/or had a shot to win it all. This year would've been laughable

this year is what the playoffs were put in place for


Dec 8, 2019, 3:28 PM

three undefeated teams everyone of them gets in.

can you imagine the old bcs system and clemson getting locked out of a chance???

Only the first year

when TCU was left out. They may have been the best team in the nation

I believe the opposite, and UGA one spot away demonstrates


Dec 8, 2019, 3:28 PM

the absurdity of the whole CFP syatem.

I would rather have a 6-8 team playoff than these Conference Championship games

I was one of the culprits. I have changed my mind. 4 is fine.

Glad you came to your senses. No one wants to see UGA and Florida and maybe even Bama lobbied for and shoe horned into an 8 team field. Stuff like that is what would happen every year. Teams like Oregon, Wisconsin and Baylor are not deserving of a playoff spot either.

With the possible exception of TCU the first year, I don’t think there has been a team left out that truly deserved to be in.
I also don’t think there has been a team that got in that did so undeservedly over anybody else. I thought that about Bama two years ago, but that’s kinda hard to do after they won it all.

I believe the system works well at determining a true national champion and is just not meant to give participation trophies to teams that are good but not good enough. That’s what the New Years six bowls are for.
Bottom line: Having only two teams can too easily leave the best team out in the cold, and more than four includes teams that aren’t really at that level.

We will not always go undefeated but we will always play in


Dec 8, 2019, 8:29 PM

a weaker conference perceptually so 8 team playoff with conference winners guaranteed would help Clemson better than current system.
