Thin oline specially when one was the Rimington award winner well ask any coach and he'd rather have that depth back. But the boys seized the initiative and never looked back

Just looking at the path for any of the 5-12 seeds, this gauntlet after a normal regular season is the toughest SOS ever, right?  Honestly, aside from Penn State, this exceeds 2020 Alabama, which has that brag imo (zero layups). 
.
Take OSU....their regular season included @Oregon, @Penn St, #5 at the time IU....then basically 4 straight games vs top 8 teams (if they win the NC).  That's 13 straight games vs P4 teams, including 7 top 10 teams.  That's nuts.
Every future NC will have a harder schedule than any team prior to the CFP.

If you think about it, prior to 2014 it was RARE for any team to play more than two top-10 teams in a season. From 2014-2023 it was almost always what four or five for the NC. Now it will be half a dozen or more.

I think a team with a bye and a weak schedule wouldn't qualify.  But a team that has to play a 1st round game and had a normal schedule does.

I think they are going to 14 teams, with the Big Ten and SEC champs getting the 2 byes, but even if you want to reward conference champs with byes in the current format, which Im ok with, just to add some meaning to those games, then I still think you need to reseed each round

So this playoff has been 6 terrible games, and arguably the greatest game in college football history?

If the final 4 is 2 SEC and 2 B1G, they're definitely going to hold everyone else hostage even moreso in altering the playoff for next year.

Correct, but results have nothing to do with it.  ASU could have pulled it out, and ND wins tomorrow, and it wouldnt mean a thing

Why?
Tale of two halves.

You should be proud of your team. They deserved to win and probably would have if that obvious targeting was called.

They should have only went to 6 and that's it.Not that the powers that be care what we/I think they go to 14 they can eat me. I wonder what the viewing audience was last night w/o ABC showing the OSU/Ore Game

I don’t think anybody knows, including the college football officials what targeting is.

It is completely 100% random
IMO that hit was incidental and not intended DB was coming in to stop receiver. It was certainly a bang-bang collision and there was helmet to helmet and the receiver was defenseless. It's really hard to avoid those collisions as players are naturally leaning forward with their head. What does a DB do? Stop and wait until the ball is caught then wrap up? Players have to be coached/taught to slide their helmets to the side instead of lead with it.
