Just wait 'til Bama's qb gets hurt for 3 games, they lose them, but he comes back, wins the rest of the games, but a 9-3 Bama is on the bubble for the 12-team playoffs.  There will be mass indignation and immediate plans to move to ELA's 64 team tournament. 

And even then, Arkansas is gonna complain about getting shafted. 
It's actually an interesting topic. They have pinned themselves into a corner now. Imagine if Texas would have lost 1 more game, had two losses but both those games Ewers was on the sidelines. They'd be a different team by the end of the year right when it matters right? Results on the field aren't most apparently apparently and it's all about the "best team" based on the eye test of the final vote now.

So whats the criteria for selecting the 12 teams next year besides conference winners and maybe the 2nd place conference teams

That only accounts for 8 at the most teams

What do the other 4 have to accomplish to get in

That's only half-true in the 12-team playoff. The other half are conference champs. 

And with the superconference/divisionless/toptwoCCG/keepPurdueoutofit rule changes in large conferences, it'll ensure that there is never a P4 conference champ that is outside the top 6 (probably changed to 5 soon) ranked conference champs. 

So at least "winning your conference" if you're a P4 school is now an almost certainly objective path to the playoff.

Top SIX conference champs are in, including the Pac 3 apparently.  Top four get top seeds.

The rest are committeed I think, except for Alabama who gets in no matter what.

Ryan Day better not lose to Mizzou

with or w/o players opting out
Well they are underdogs now- and all that. 


ha! Most of the nutball OSU fans are now not caring if they win ( we will see how long that holds up lol)-but rather wanting to see the young guns and other stud recruits play.

I mean, this is exactly how a lot of actual college football coaches approach the postseason.  Outside of the 2x he played for the NC, Mack Brown didn't give a crap about winning or losing bowl games.  He really only valued the extra practices as a chance to start preparing his roster for the next season.  Lots of coaches are like that.

I THINK Kirby S. plays to win a bowl game.  Of course, it's been a while since they've been in a real bowl game.

When's the last time Georgia was in a bowl game that wasn't part of the CFP?

dude i've been here for 20 or so years, i ain't going nowhere.
I'm curious what everyone's timeline is here.

I'm trying to remember the exact year I found CFN.. which I think it was CFN first but I'm not exactly sure. I believe this is year 24 as I think it was 1999. Badge or one of the others can probably remind me when it was bought out, which I think it was rivals.. that buyout i think happened after I had been on the board 2-3 years.

I remember exactly, for whatever reason.  I found the old CFN site the week after our Florida loss in 2006, so I've been here a little over 17 years.  It was still cfn.com then....before it was merged with Scout. 

I'd actually been reading cfn since 2004, but had never noticed or been interested in clicking on the discussion board.

2020 Peach Bowl (cincinnati), 2019 Sugar (Baylor), 2018 Sugar (UTX), 2017 CFP.

Their very first bowl game was the Orange in 1941 followed by the Rose the next season, then the Oil Bowl, then the Sugar.

There was some of this pre-CFP but with the CFP sucking all the oxygen out of the room and the portal I could care less if tOSU wins or loses the Cotton Bowl and frankly I'd rather see my team basically conduct a practice/roster evaluation of the projected 2024 team and lose to Mizzou than to see them run full-tilt with Marv and a bunch of guys who aren't going to be back and blow the Tigers out without learning much about what they have for next year.  

Understand I'm not saying that tOSU necessarily *WOULD* blow Mizzou out with the non-returning guys nor that they necessarily *WOULD* lose while conducting a 2024 roster evaluation.  That isn't the point.  The point is that I care a LOT more about prepping for 2024 than I do about winning a Cotton Bowl trophy that nobody cares about.  The ideal situation would be for the Buckeyes to conduct a 2024 roster evaluation AND blow out Mizzou with essentially the 2024 team.
