Twitter, like Wikipedia, or the like, is fine if you are an individual capable of using it as a jumping off point to find the real story.

My problem is (and in the grand scheme of things, its sports, who cares), when someone like SI can put a story out there crediting "sources". 
Good Post,you get that a lot in Youtube comment sections.Only the seismic bombast is on history revision not the sad commentary of todays events

I was in college during the advent of Wikipedia, and I remember professors cautioning not to use it for research papers.

It is AMAZING for research papers...if you are using it as a quick starting point to gather where you should aim your research.  And some people do cite their work, which obviously helps.
You've been out of college a long time now, my friend.  Today's twitter-news culture wasn't even a fetus when you last graced your university's hallowed halls.

I am capable of this, and do so.

But then, I am pretty much a Nobody.
You're not a nobody, but 0.1% of the population does not count as "statistically significant."  You know the drill. :)

2018, that year Clemson beat the shit out of Bama:

Penn State finished 3rd in its division.  Yeah, they deserve a shot at the national title.  Why not?  (and the SEC will get 4 teams in nearly every year, sometimes 5, btw.
this is why this might actually happen

Many will be disappointed if this ends up with no expansion whatsoever.

I don't think that is probable, I think we'll see some in 2-3-4 years.

heck, anything is "on the table"

I suppose they could discuss expansion to a 64 team playoff if they'd like

Obviously there is a lot of noise about this, so perhaps there really is substance.  I'm surprised.

from Tom Shatel................

» Just a note: the playoff sub-committee that put this together was made up of commissioners from the Big 12, SEC, Mountain West and the Notre Dame athletic director. They look like the power brokers for the sport. Insert your own punch line about the Big Ten.

» I know we could likely still get the usual suspects in the national championship. But I love just the possibility that an underdog could get on a roll, or that the more games Bama and Clemson play, the more chances they have to get beat. More teams, more hopes, more dreams. That alone makes this worth it for me.

» McMurphy also reports that if this proposal passes this summer, the earliest it would take place would be for the 2023 season. And four to 10 bowl games would be eliminated.

So some takeaways:
I think the 6 at-large teams, which most think is too many, is less about the SEC and B1G and more about ND.  It's the only way the Irish can make the playoff, so they're going to want as much leeway as possible.  Basically, as long as ND is in the top 10, they'll make this playoff.
.
It both gives the G5 a seat at the table AND guarantees they'll never win a NC.  It's like the Joker's hand-buzzer in the original Batman movie:  let's shake hands....and now you're dead.
.
It specifies the top 6 conference champions, which I hadn't noticed or wasn't included before....so if you're a 2-loss P5 champ, you're going to be biting your nails and watching some late-season G5 football.  As it is now, you already know you're out.

I guess one can ponder if a 11-2 conference P5 champ would be ranked higher than two 13-0 G5 conference champs.  The latter would be a rare event, but possible.

Imagine say UGA loses early in the year to Auburn and South Carolina, both having decent teams, and beats Auburn in the CG latem but UC and BSU are both 13-0.  UGA would get in, but with the bye or not?  Huh.

I like that "rule" myself.  13-0 means no let downs all year, which is tough.

UC last year almost beat a fairly good UGA team, the gulf may be less than we think.  We have other examples where a G5 team beat a fairly good P5 team in a bowl.

Texas upset UGA a few years back for example.  Oh wait.
