The Rose Bowl selection had it's warts. A worse team would go over a better one, simply because they hadn't been there in a long time.
That was a flawed tiebreaker but at least the team was a conference champion.

Again. There's no reason that particular stipulationcouldn'tbe added to the current set up. It would indeed be a massive improvement, imo.

I know that's your take and agree that one detail would improve the CFP. But it wouldn't improve it so much as to bring the CFB regular season to equal that of the pre-BCS era.
In 1998 the sport decided it detested tied NCs so much that it would risk rematches and a crumbling of its most storied bowls to instill the BCS, which catalyzed expansion and CCGs. Some people are fine with that. Others think every one of those changes permanently tainted the sport. I think you prefer the new system over the old one. I'm in the other group. (Which takes a lot for me to admit. I rarely abandon a positive outlook)

I'm not certain the BCS lead to expansion and CCGs, but I suppose it's possible it was a major factor.

The first CG was in 1992 and the first BCS thing in 1998, if I read this right.

Money led to both.

That's fair. The cause/effect tree here probably isn't a tree at all - it probably circles around rather than arrowing in a single direction. I suspect, however, that television dollars and the BCS fed off each other and conference expansion and CCGs off that.

People were surprised at how successful the SEC ccg was .  ABC gave it a good slot, and candidly didnt have much competition on the schedule.  I remember watching it, thinking it was kind of weird.  First two at Legion Field .

XII first ccg had plenty of empties , st. Louis was the host and they didn't care about it, just trying to show of new stadium which forgot to design a network TV booth in the plans.  Worse yet.  11am kick.  I was saving my money for the Sugar Bowl.  As it turned out I merely saved my money.

Considering Iowa's playoff hopes are quite alive, the "derailed" theme is slightly hyperbolic. 

At least Fro didn't show up, and try to turn it into yet another Antifa rally.

As an Iowa fan, I love that Iowa is getting plenty of respect in this thread.

But even I find the talk of Iowa going undefeated and making the playoffs a little strange at this point.  You would think that Iowa was already ranked in the top 15 instead of not ranked at all.

One step at time.  This will be a tough game.  If somehow Iowa can pull it out, then they probably will get that top 15 ranking soon enough.  If Iowa loses, then they won't be ranked at all, which is also fair.

I think I like Iowa in a game that has a weird ass score. 11-10. Night game in Kinnick- some weird shit is bound to happen on that field.
I seem to remember Iowa taking that the lead against Michigan 11-10 in the 4th Qtr. in 2016. I thought then, "What a weird score." But weird scores although infrequent are part of the Iowa way.
In 2004: Iowa 6 - Penn State 4
In 1939: Iowa 4 - Purdue 0
I think it should be a low scoring game. But reflecting back on 2017, when Ohio State put up 24 on Iowa, who would think Iowa could overcome that many? Weird stuff happens, but I would be surprised if the winning team scored over 21 points, and would not be surprised if the total of all points scored is 41 or less.

Home field hasn't meant much in this series. How much is it worth at night?
