My proposed version of Re-seeding after the Round of 12 would have been based on the Final Overall CFP Rankings. Even with giving Arizona St & Boise St Byes, they didn't also have to be the #3 & 4 seeds. I would have gone:
I mean it’s exactly what hockey did in how the legislate contact to the head. Can still be a foul without ejection. He’s not launching and his head is up. It’s a 15 yard for contact to the head personal foul, stays in the game, onward we go.
I think I agree. I’m curious if the pass being tipped affects the WR being considered defenseless. But I think if it did that would have come out in a statement or by talking heads by now.
If you’re doing this, you’re entirely messing with the initial games, home sites, etc. I think it gets hard with the initial if you’re saying asu is the 12 in that now they’re locked for a second round game with Oregon from the jump. I’d rather you reseed from those surviving.
It doesn’t. The same as if it’s tipped you couldn’t go in and shoulder him to the head ten seconds before the ball though you could shove him to the ground
That feels like a good solution for a situation like this. You have a problem when nobody understands the rule and there is so much grey area in how it is or is not enforced.
No, it wouldn't have messed up the Opening Round at all. Under my proposal, they Reseeding would have happened AFTER the Opening Round of 12.
Sorry yes forgot Clemson was so low. Most years it will however lock in your G5 champ to play first round and your 4th cc to be there given that lowest seed is almost never going to win as they’re outmatched (this is inherently true with the lowest cc versus the 4 with how the current conferences are set up and bias towards the B12 and ACC now).
The Top 4 Conference Champions would still get Byes.
Because why, based on zero comparative data, would you drop the 4 seed down further? ASU just went toe to toe with Texas while being picked to get the doors blown off. We have very little cross conference data to rank those teams against each other versus the winners of conferences are pretty set. Reacting to one game with how the CFP has been historically doesn’t make sense given the avg point differential is a 3 score game. Oregon doesn’t deserve any special protection any more than the rest of them given it’s not like they played each other in the regular season to decide their heirarchy and the cfp rankings are clearly biased. Either you get rid of the autobids and byes or you keep them locked to me.
I respect your opinion, but agree to disagree.
Would prefer the whole thing if I got to seed them
Tipped pass just means you can't have pass interference. You can still have targeting.
If they reseeded, Oregon would have played... Ohio State.
They would’ve played asu who was the 12 (by the actual CFP rankings) and lowest remaining seed is what they’re saying
REPEATING Post #1,171
Yes, someone will have to go 4-0 (3-0 with a bye) to win the championship.
Agree. Because how a team plays in a specific game, varies greatly from game to game, and week to week, it is tough to accurately base seeds on what happened during the regular season. If a team "plays like a complete ass" they still might be able to win a game vs. a weaker opponent, and advance to play a great game the next week. IMHO there a many moving parts to winning a national championship. The champion must be good enough to win 3 or 4 games in a row, possibly when likely/probably playing at least one sub-par game along the way, while maybe (luckily) playing a weaker opponent in that game, to be champion. I can live with the current system.
And defensive holding.
This is basically what I've been advocating for as well.
Well if Ohio State had taken care of business vs Michigan. This beat down would have happened in Indy and the Buckeyes would be the one seed and Oregon would probably have been fifth. Ultimately they were going to have to be at OSU again at some point losing by 20 plus doesn't really give them a pit to piss in about it.
It's more of "Are you 100% sure the contact happened before the ball was released.?"
Goes back to the CCG. Committee clearly wasn't going to punish for playing an extra game and losing. Although in this case Ohio State has legit beef since they went to Penn State and won. Wonder if eventually though expand to 16 and do away with CCG's now that there's a playoff they're kinda pointless
They shouldn’t have punished for the CCG
Nice intro to college football for the punter....first 2 punts of his college career and gets drilled both times. Not sure how that first one wasn't a 15 yarder.
