It's right there in the name - "champ." I know having poindexters pick the prettiest losers makes more money, though.
Alright, put some money down on Tulane to win.

They're not ranked behind 3-loss Texas, USC, Arizona, Michigan, and even Virginia for no reason.  They're champions of an inferior conference and played one big-boy team and got boat-raced.

Get 'em in the playoff!!!!

Another problem we can all agree on:  the committee is tasked with creating 4 first round games.....2 REMATCHES!!!

What in the actual fuck?

I thought that was weird too. It would have been totally fine to flip those games.

BYU was punished for losing a conference title game.

yeah maybe we should just go back to the 4 team playoff. that is f’ing ridiculous.

I'd like 6 maybe 8 but any more than that is nonsense. But instead we get :welcome:

Bracing for the incoming rash of editorials decrying Notre Dame's exclusion from the playoff. Because it's a TWELVE team playoff, the drama is being kicked up over who's finishing roughly 9th through 14th. Watch this create a demand for an expanded 16 team playoff. I miss the BCS days when the heated discourse was more consequentially over who finished 1st and 2nd and who might've been left out at 3rd and 4th.

NO, it is NOT time for a new process.

It's time to point out to Notre Dame the two games they lost and make it clear that those games were their fair shot at the playoffs. Losing those games deservedly put Notre Dame at risk for missing the playoffs. A misfortune nobody should bemoan now that there are TWELVE chances to make the playoffs!

Herbstreit was told by his AI overlords to mention a 16-team playoff every time he spoke.

What's the halftime point spread of JMU @ Oregon???  Asking for a friend.

The unspoken answer is the Big XII sucks.  
It lost Texas and OU and replaced them with Houston, UCF, Cincinnati, and....wait for it....BYU.

This isn't rocket science.

Well sure, but you either get punished for losing a CCG, or you don’t.  

Some do, some don’t.

Bama's only good wins are Vanderbilt and Georgia, and Georgia just blew their doors off.
