LOOKS LIKE FOX made the call for klatt to get off his bama soapbox and start positioning a loss b10 champ (probably ohio state) to make the playoffs over alabama if they lose to georgia in the SEC title game

FOX starting to push HARD for the B1G and Big 12, I was watching the end of OU-Kansas game and Tim Brando basically begging Heisman voters to give the trophy to Kyler Murray instead of Tua.

They're so agenda driven it's ridiculous. I don't know anybody who actually watches anything FOX related except for the actual games. I don't know why they're wasting Joel Klatt breath. Unless they're hoping the fakkit runs outta air and dies sooner

I know ESPN has their biases but at least they know that other conferences and teams exists, FOX tries their hardest to act like the SEC and ACC don’t exist. To Klatt’s point also, he’s really gonna use us being tied with The Citadel a halftime against us making the playoff as a whole? Never mind the fact that we blew them out 40-7 in the 2nd half. We weren’t used to the ball control triple option attack but got used to it as the game went on, hell Oklahoma almost lost to Army who runs the same offense.

Why do y'all want to expand the playoff? It's perfect at 4 teams

No matter how much you try to expand it you're always gonna have teams that complain that they're not included...football isn't gonna turn into March Madness

But the only reason they made it a 4 team playoff was because they were sharking March Madness' "Final Four" model.

And that never made sense when there's 5 power conferences. 8 team playoff, all conference winners, and fill in the 3 remaining spots with other teams. ESPN can still get their 2 SEC teams to fellate, group of 5 team makes it, and allows for 1 loss to not wreck a teams season.

Top 13 teams in the CFP:

Bama
Clemson
Notre Dame
Michigan

UGA
OU
LSU
Wazzu
West Virginia
Ohio State
UCF
Florida
Syracuse

If we go by your way of thinking, why should Florida get a chance at a playoff? They've already lost multiple times this year, same with Syracuse and LSU. UCF has played one of the weakest schedules in recent memory.

So again why do you want to create a playoff to include teams that don't deserve a shot at a national title? I would rather leave out a potentially deserving team than include 5-6 teams that don't deserve a shot

And I say again....Top 6 makes perfect sense and it seems like they didn't do it on purpose to have people bicker and they milk the drama if it all.

Bama
Clemson
ND
Michigan
UGA
OU

As of right now with the current format

Bama & Clemson = 1st round byes

ND vs Mich winner play Clemson
UGA vs OU winner play Bama


The current format is fine if there are no conferences at all. The best four teams are good...but that's not the case because you do have conferences....5 of them and an independent.


ACC
Pac12
B1G
SEC
B12

Replace a cupcake games with "Conference Challenge" games that rotate each year with a marquee neutral site game from each.

ACC vs Pac12
B1G vs SEC
B12 vs B1G
SEC vs Pac12
B12 vs ACC

Next year

ACC vs B1G
SEC vs ACC
B12 vs PAC12
B1G vs PAC12
B12 vs SEC

And etc.


Now take the "most deserving" next 2 non power teams teams (or a top tier ranked ND) and during conference title week...they play a play in game.

Next take all Conference title winners...sort them by record and the committee will give them a seeding number. [You still have your built in drama here].

Top 2 teams get bye but gone is the luxury of having a month to prep for your opponent.

And like mentioned earlier

3 will play the play in game winner
4 plays 5

1 play 4v5 winner
2 plays 3v p.i.g. winner

Natty

The reason for the challenge is so that other conferences can gauge each other's skill set and it will give players a bowl game like experience early in the year which could help spread recruiting footprint for all teams. It can also be used for bowl game match ups to keep the conference pride thing relevant and draw some interest in the bowls again.

@Woodwerkz see breh, that’s all you gotta do, all that 8-12-16 team bullshyt is not needed. 6 is perfect because it does allow two extra teams without completely diluting the regular season.

Jayhawk Force One has landed

 

[malbaker86]

If Franks plays mistake free (well mistake limited) football, we'll be fine against FSU. Gonna be a chore to block Burns tho

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Beat A&M next week we might get to play Texas in the sugar bowl

 

[UserNameless]

Bye bye Big 12

Can’t ever get out of their own way

Oklahoma shoulda gotten to the chip in 2015-16 because at this rate, I dunno when the BIG12 is getting back to the final 4.

i dont think they will. if all chaos happened OU best win would be WVU who coming off a loss to a 5-5 OSU or Iowa St who 6-4.
they'd still be behind.

He has 10 sacks this year. Franks is food. I hope.

Can you tell me any other team sport where multiple losses in the regulat season means you cant make the playoffs?

What are the other sports that play under 15 games a year?
