By ranking sec teams high, playing no one, and only beating each other they are guaranteed to get 4-5 teams in every year.put this in another thread - thought I would drop it in here for the discussion
just for fun, here is what the 12-team playoff would look like this year based on the final CFP rankings
1st round
#8 Oregon vs #9 Missouri -- winner plays #1 Michigan in quarterfinals
#5 Fla State vs #12 Oklahoma -- winner vs #4 Alabama in qtrs
#6 Georgia vs #11 Ole Miss -- winner vs #3 Texas in qtrs
#7 OSU vs #10 Penn State -- winner vs #2 Washington in qtrs
LSU is left out as the #13 team.
Oregon lost twice to Washington. They are not better than Washington. Output this in another thread - thought I would drop it in here for the discussion

Would it? Injuries happen all the time. Plus, the backup would have been back and practiced by that point. FSU will have two good, practiced QBs. That 3rd stringer who played yesterday is highly rated. He would look much different after a month to get ready.Picking FSU without the QB would create problems, all have to agree. What would be the point spread on that clunker?
Instead, Alabama for better or worse is only a 1.5 point underdog to Michigan that will Varner viewers.
Yes, if the FSU quarterback was healthy, that would be a game.
You can make the same argument about March Madness. Why have 64 teams? As we have seen there, anything can happen in one game sudden death.Oregon lost twice to Washington. They are not better than Washington. Out
Mizzou lost to LSU and Georgia. Why would I need to see them lose again? Out
Florida state. Hasn’t lost. They deserve to be in over Bama who lost and uses the claim they got better with time and experience for their qb, which is exactly the case for fsu who’s still undefeated
Oklahoma. Blew a horrible game vs Ok St and lost to Kansas. Why do I need to see them again?
Georgia. Lost their only premier game to Bama and played no one non conference. Beat no one contending for the field
Ole Miss. Got pounded already by Georgia and lost to Bama. I need at best the 3rd best team in the sec why?
OSU. Lost to the best team in the Big Ten. No reason they need to be in again as they lost their chance
PSU. Lost to OSU and Michigan. Why do I need the 3rd best team in the B10?
If you want to try make the argument for some of the G5 schools to be in, sure. But you’ve already seen who the best in each conference is, why do I need to see them play again in the playoffs potentially? So if Georgia beats Bama when they play again, Georgia wins the title because they’re earlier meeting was meaningless?
The 12 team format is nothing more than a money grab. Theres no reason we need the 3rd and 4th best teams in a conference in the playoff devaluing the entire regular season
Georgia is a double digit favorite over themKnowing the QB will be healthy, yes. They beat the #16 team basically without a serviceable QB. Found a way to stay undefeated. That defense is lights out good.

I'm pretty sure Bama played different QBs this year, won all but one game.Yea, could be. I'm kind of playing this other side of this argument because it's kind of lopsided the other way. If the QB is healthy, they're in.
Yep. Considering the are over 300 D1 bsketball programs.FCS has 24.
Division II has 28.
Division III has 32.
All with conference autobids.
It's not unreasonable to have 16 for FBS with ALL conference champions getting an autobid.
You think FSU is better that Georgia?Which means only this: many people think they know the winner, think Georgia is vastly better. They don’t know.

This is the way.Here is what you do, FSU.
You fly to whatever bowl game they send you too. You put the pads on and warm up. You do the coin flip, then walk off the field, and head back to the hotel. Then FSU takes their players to whatever hang out is in town.......the beach, a great restaurant, etc...and have the time of your lives.
Just shove it up their ass!
The NCAA couldn't say Schit to them, while the rest of americas laughs and applauds.
Excellent!
Damn that was well said
He didn't ask if you know who will win the game, he asked you who you thought was a better team.No idea. Neither does anyone else betting on the game.
I don't disagree with you but a subjective analysis of who are the best teams has always been a part of it. I wouldn't have been opposed to a black letter law stating "no undefeated P5 champion can be supplanted by a team with a loss".The CFP Committee assumed FSU couldn't win without Travis. Dumb. That's why you play the games. If we could win off assumptions, then PA would have the Vikings Super Bowl champs every year, and Grimm would see the Gophers in the CFP.
You award CFP spots by body of work. FSU clearly belongs.
You do not subjectively guess who the 4 best teams are.
The SEC should have been left whining with no representation.
