I gotta say - usually we get this huge break until bowl season. Crazy that we have bowl games tomorrow, and the playoffs in less than two weeks.

Btw - expand the playoffs.

Swing and a miss.  Not mad- just perplexed.
“couple people”?  Another incorrect statement.
and lastly/ no power five conference champ winner has gone undefeated and been left out. Not one.  So if other fan bases are wondering about that- they just are ignorant of the facts   

man this place went to shit this year.  Anything you say gets attacked. FFS
Who is attacking you? Just providing a different POV.  In other years one team didn’t literally play 5 games less than others team in the country.  It’s not crazy to bring that up.

most other fan bases haven't accomplished as much in the playoffs as the Bucks
respect is earned on the field
in this case vs the top 4 in the nation

obviously most other fan bases are not, Bama and Clemson
While technically true, they've gone three times, gone 1-and-out twice. Not a ton of accomplishing outside two programs.

Anyway, it's a year where there aren't a ton of high end options. OSU is a little weak on the resume, in part because a mess of good Big Ten teams were less good than normal. But they kicked the hell out of most teams, they're crazy talented and most of the other options are not inspiring.

Right, although technically each year and each version of each team  is supposed to be judged in a bubble.

I get the come back to that is “yeah, well maybe it’s supposed to work like that but it doesn’t.”  But that should be the goal.

Yes, expand!  Let's get some more blowouts AND have a 2 or 3-loss national champ!  Yaaaay!

I'm not understanding all of these posts about Ohio State getting in.  You're about a month late on that outrage.  The very first CFP rankings told you all you needed to know - OSU had played half as many games as ND and Clemson up to that point.

Why start bitching now?  You already knew this was happening.

Bama being up 42-3 at halftime vs Coastal Carolina won't feel very meaningful, sorry.

And it’s been a talking point in the media from the very beginning.  What I don’t understand is HB’s surprise that it was brought up again today.

So if they are up 42-3 on Notre Dame, you will find meaning? I have a hard time understanding why some blowouts are good and meaningful and some are bad ads meaningless. In any event, my point is about games that aren't payoff games. Giving more teams certain ways to make the playoffs makes more meaningful games. This is good.

Yeah, expanding the playoff wasn’t the solution this year. The problem this year was finding a team outside of Bama and Clemson that felt right putting in.
