Playoff chaos

Oregon wasn't getting in with a loss yesterday.
#15 Texas beat #3 Aggy
#14 Vanderbilt drilled Rocky Top in Neyland.
#13 Utah held off Kansas
#12 Miami throttled Pitt.
#11 BYU pulled out, err, away from UCF
#10 Bama was gifted an Iron Bowl
#9 ND cruised over Furd
#8 OU squeaked by lifeless LSU
Instead, teams #11-15 are out (but see next)
For more chaos, if BYU beats TT in Big12 CCG, both are in, booting either Bama or ND door.. ass…out.
If 7-5 Duke beats UVa in ACC CCG, zero ACC teams will get in. Instead, we'll have 2 G6 teams.
We're going to 16 teams next year.

Move to 16 teams and then the debate will be about which shitty 9-3 teams deserve to be in our out.
College football does not have anything close enough to an even playing field to be wasting time with a #1 (at home) vs #16 team. It will be a bunch of trash blowout games.
The power brokers and TV networks are going to drive the sport off of a cliff.
 
might as well go to 64 teams and start next weekend. Bowl games are already destroyed and meaningless. Maybe more players will actually play if their 5-7 squad is in the tourney.

Well, we already have 2 shitty teams getting in ahead of 4 very solid 10-2 teams that aren't objectively different than the 3 other 10-2 teams that are in as of today.
I'm ok with one or two 9-3 teams getting in if it means a 10-2 Washington doesn't get screwed next year because of Pillsbury schedule.

It's already gone too far with splitting hairs about which 2-3 loss team deserves a shot. That being said, there's no going back,
I'm not against a consolation bowl series of the first four out. Using your list:
Miami vs Texas in citrus
Utah vs Vanderbilt in Alamo
Winners play in the holiday or something, winner of that goes on the road as 12 seed following week.

The bowl games outside of the NY6 are pretty much dead (Alamo was lit).
 
Who doesn't like a 12 loss ACC team crying about missing the big 69 team basketball tournament?
 
Saw a projection that the lucky ducks get James Madison at home round 1
Liberty was unavailable

What is the case for Oregon being ahead of Ole Miss or A&M?

Neither team has to play a greased Washington! on the road?
For some reason, the committee really paid attention to and liked their game against SC. I myself think SC is overrated (I know, respect). But they liked what they saw that day.
And I think they liked the way they beat Iowa, who I also think is overrated but isn't soft like SC. There is something to be said for playing in shitty cold weather in Iowa and coming back and doing what you have to do. Like Race once said, good teams in good seasons have to win a few of those.

Then again, the very idea that the PNW schools are somehow shocked like fish out of water when playing in the cold and wet upper midwest is retaradofuckery of the highest order but that's our? media.

better than both in pretty much every metric the committee uses (SOS, SOR, game control, computer average).

The committee uses a different sos ranking than espn.

Ole miss sos-71
Aggie sos-91
Oregon sos-43

They are better than both of those teams. Oregon beats both rather easily.

16 teams is such fuckery. FCF

Anything more than 4 teams is too many and I actually think 2 teams in a BCS Championship is the right answer.

I've said it a million times. Most years there weren't even 3 teams deserving. Tims have changed, and now most years there aren't even 5 teams deserving. But James Madison!
Last year Oregon was not just the only undefeated team, but they were one of two teams with 12 wins AND THEY BEAT THAT TEAM. There were only two teams with more than 11 wins, and one beat the other(should have lost but we don't talk about that). In the history of CFB, 95% of the time they already have a unanimous natty in a case. They beat Ohio State. They beat Penn State. Why the fuck are those teams in the semis? This shit is fucked.
 
What if I told you that this somewhat under the radar Oregon team will be the one to FINISH
