Playoff was largely uninteresting. Championship game happens on a Monday and doesn’t end until 11pm at night. Bad recipe.
Pay for a weekend slot. Stop catering to the PST. Stop expanding the playoff. It used to be exciting.
In fairness to Indiana, the last time Notre Dame made the national championship they were losing 25-0 after the first quarter. Notre Dame should have been banned from the post season forever after that.
This entire playoff is experimental. Things will change. Potential reseeding after round one. It may expand to 14 games. Change is inevitable. But let’s make one non negotiable rule — Indiana can never be invited again.
I’m sorry but no one with a current university affiliations should be on the playoff committee. The idea that current university ADs sit on the committee and are expected to be objective is insanity.
@rgraham33 I mean we did wander through the desert for nearly 40 years, so it could be biblical. I’d still prefer that we manage points in the first half though, that doesn’t feel like a big ask.
The “adversity” storyline that has been spoon-fed by ESPN et al. about Michigan’s season is honestly shameful. They were literally cheating—to an extent we don’t fully know yet—and got caught. And now they’re acting like they fought through something. 🤢
When you lose matters. There is precedent for this. Ohio State lost to a mediocre Virginia Tech in the 2nd game of the season in 2014 and it went on to make the playoff and win the CFP.
There was no scenario in which Georgia makes the playoff.
Yeah we had Georgia at 1 all year but after that 3 point neutral field loss we realized we were absolutely fooled and they’re actually 6th best.
That’s what we’ve been told.
