Championship Weekend

[hungry]

I agree . It would be amazing. I know all of these place would sell out , and if a big ten school had a game it would sell out also. It would be a lot of fun.

In this scenario, I could see myself going to a game in Ann Arbor. I just can't see myself going to a regular season game on a saturday with everything else that is going on.

I agree make it top 8 get rid for the Conference title games and it would be fine. One bad loss should not rule out anyone. Including us and Ohio st ect. The pac 12 is garbage and does not deserve a team and a 3 loss LSU team can take a hikes also . This looks fine to me bottom teams are the home teams. In some years a northern school could potentially get a home game . I would love to see those Sec teams in the cold weather.

#8 Ucf.
#1 Alabama.

#5 osu.
#4 Oklahoma.

#6 Georgia.
#3 Norte Dame.

#7 Michigan.
#2 Clemson.

I like it. But the conferences make too much money off the conference championships. The attendance for the B1G championship last night was 66,375, plus the TV revenues. That is a lot of cash!


The B1G conference championship is flawed though. Rather than division champions it should be between the two teams in the conference with the best records. Otherwise, if one conference is weak, then the championship isn't really between the two best teams in the conference. Also, in the event the team that won the weaker division happens to beat the winner of the stronger division, then the stronger team may be knocked out of the CFP, which wouldn't be good for the conference.

The way they should do it is the Conference Champions from the Power 5 schools and then the best independent or from one of the smaller conferences. The top 2 ranked teams get a bye. If you can't win your conference you shouldn't win a national title. They will never do it because they like the controversy.

It is and has always been about the money. Mo money, mo money, mo money! If they can figure a way to make mo money with an 8 team playoff, then we will have an 8 team playoff. If they can't figure a way to make mo money, then we won't.

They?d all throw their mothers off a train for more money.

It seems to me that the non CFP bowls Probably worry that expansion Might damage their own bottom lines.

Georgia is better then both Oklahoma, and Osu. Of the 290 plays in the last two games Bama, and the Bulldogs have played Bama has only lead for 9 of them. Amazing.

(The University of) Notre Dame Sucks.

 

[thewolverines24]

They have 7 legit teams for 4 spots.

Going to be rough for the committee

I don't think they will ever do the 5 power conference and 3 at large deal, though. I could see them just doing 8 at large or the top 8. That way they can do their stupid rankings show every week and people have to tune in to watch the hour long program and see all of the commercials...

The hype wouldn't be enough to follow for just the 3 at large bids after the 5 conference champions.

Washington really wouldn't deserve to be in this year, because the PAC is junk, but I guess they could just be knocked out the in first round if they were that bad.

I have no idea why anyone would watch that. As soon as the show is over, you get a notification on your phone of what the playoff rankings are. Why waste the time watching?

No diff than the NFL draft, IMO ...no point in sitting there to hear a name announced - just check the draft results the next day. Not like they're going to change or anything.

are they really? What are you basing this on?

Yep! The NFL draft was only fun when you were in college. Get your buddies together and day drink on Saturday while it's on in the background.

I don't know either. I recorded it when Michigan was in the mix and watched it until they announced the top 25, which was usually about 10 minutes in. Then I turned it off. I have no idea why anyone would watch the entire hour.

i based it on the eye test. UGA just has looked better when I watched their games than OSU did.

Everyone will have their own opinion. I know UGA looked good against Alabama on Saturday. That was the best anyone played them all season.

Meanwhile, OSU lost to Purdue by 29 and probably should've lost to Maryland, if the Maryland QB just doesn't totally miss a wide open receiver on the 2 point conversion...

Doing it in 2 days was interesting and the way to go

the new way is horrible.

We'd have it on in the background while we did other things.

UGA was the first team with a good QB that Bama has faced all year. I'm not saying that Bama isn't great, but their defense has not been tested. UGA did play them tough though, and may very well be better than OSU and OU. However, UGA also lost a game by 20.

I think the SEC is overrated this year. They have 8 teams in the top 25. 6 are ranked between 10-23. Three of those teams have 3 losses and four have 4 losses. Here is why I think they are all over-rated. The SEC teams only play 8 conference games. They all have an additional cupcake on their schedule. If they played 9 conference games it is very likely that some of those 3 and 4 loss teams turn into 4 or 5 losses. Playing fewer conference games boosts the rankings of all of the teams in the SEC.

UGA lost to LSU by 20, which currently sits in the top 15, not Purdue...

So a team is defined by their losses, not their wins? Defined by their worst day, not their best. If that's the case, UM is probably overrated at 7 since they lost by 23 (probably could have been 30 if OSU didn't sit on the ball at the end of the game)

I don't know if LSU should even be in the top 15. Like I said...most of the SEC teams are ranked higher than they should be because they only play 8 conference games and schedule another cupcake when other conferences are playing a 9th conference game.

I think UM would be favored against pretty much everyone below them

I think UGA would beat OSU

 

[hungry]

Besides Michigan lost to the #3 team and the #6 team...

 

[tomdalton22]

you are probably right

I think UGA would beat OSU

perfectly valid opinion.

I think there are tiers of teams, with VERY little difference in the teams in each tier, very little arguments for moving any of the teams around in their respective tiers. Here is how I would rank the teams.

Tier 1
1) Bama
2) Clemson

tier 2
3) OSU
4) Georgia
5) UM
6) OU
7) ND

tier 3
8) WSU
9) Wash
10) WVU
11) LSU
12) FL
13) PSU

tier 4
14) TX
15) Utah
16) MS St
17) A & M

tier 5
18) Cuse
19) NW
20) KY
21) Mizzu
22) UCF
23) Fresno St

I think we belong in t3 with Texas going by your list. Move psu to t4.
