ND HAS NO RIGHT...

[AreYouNUTS]

..,.in the playoffs. The NCAA should FORCE them to make a decision to either go full-in with ACC football or OUT because it’s a complete joke.

In 1 3/4 games they’ve now been ourscored
72-17. ******* disgraceful.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

They’re honestly not even good enough for an 8-team (puke) playoff.

 

[superfan01]

I actually agree with this. If ND was in the ACC they don’t get in and a more deserving Georgia team gets in.

 

[Hardslider33]

Is game should have been the ACC title game, not a national semifinal

 

[NickRU714]

What does ND being in or out of a conference have to do with them being unfit for the playoff?

 

[superfan01]

Because if they were in the ACC they wouldn’t be in this game. Total joke.

 

[NickRU714]

I actually agree with this. If ND was in the ACC they don’t get in and a more deserving Georgia team gets in.

So the Clem-ND game should have been the ACC Champ game instead of a playoff game

but

Ala-Georgia SEC Champ should have been repeated in the playoff?

I'm really confused on this whole concept of "deserving" to be in the playoff.

Clemson would have smoked them during the season and kicked them to the curb. ND is an overrated joke. And is anyone surprised? You could have called this from miles and miles away.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

Go tell it on the mountain. The Catholics are now the convicts.

ND stole this playoff spot.

Seriously??

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Oh yeah:

There is NO need for an 8-team playoff.

 

[T2Kplus10]

Oh yeah:

There is NO need for an 8-team playoff.

I definitely don't support an 8-team playoff and 1 of the many reasons for this is that overrated ND would probably be in every year.

You can’t worry or care about re-matches.
Take the best 4

Agree wholeheartedly about “rematches.”

 

[RU Cheese]

You can’t worry or care about re-matches.
Take the best 4

fine, but you can't be one of the best if you don't win your
Conference

 

[RUich]

ND is the champ of the independents. [banana]

 

[superfan01]

fine, but you can't be one of the best if you don't win your
Conference

Why. If the two best teams are in the same conference. Your argument makes zero sense.

 

[angmo]

This will be the last time they get in, as long as the 4 team playoff system lasts. The other conferences won't put up with this.

 

[Underdogs88]

fine, but you can't be one of the best if you don't win your
Conference

What about Alabama last year? They didn’t even make the sec championship game in 2017. Did they deserve to be invited based upon the above criteria?

 

[bac2therac]

they deserve the spot over the two loss schools...end of discussion

 

[zappaa]

fine, but you can't be one of the best if you don't win your
Conference

Why?

 

[NickRU714]

You can’t worry or care about re-matches.
Take the best 4

It seems simple enough.

But there seem to be alot of stipulations that I just cant grasp.

Best 4....but also...
Be in a P5 conference
But not a P5 thay doesnt play defense
Win that P5
Can't have 2 losses
1 loss is okay
But that loss cant be to Purdue by 20 points

 

[zappaa]

they deserve the spot over the two loss schools...end of discussion

Why

 

[RU85inFla]

ND is the champ of the independents. [banana]

Army would have beaten them.

But... Ash is a “closer” and kelly isn’t !

 

[NickRU714]

Why

You would be able to answer this best.

What has more "unwritten rules":
Baseball or college football playoff eligibility?

 

[robcac26]

Why. If the two best teams are in the same conference. Your argument makes zero sense.

I'd say they don't deserve to be there because it's already been established that they aren't the best in their conference, so why should they be invited to the stage where we determine who is the best in the country?

What about Alabama last year? They didn’t even make the sec championship game in 2017. Did they deserve to be invited based upon the above criteria?

No.

 

[koleszar]

Well right now Oklahoma doesn't belong either 191 yards to 0 yards. 21-0 score in 1st qtr. These playoffs completely blow balls. I'm losing interest even before the Championship.

 

[zappaa]

Georgia is better than Oklahoma.

 

[newell138]

if OSU didn’t **** the bed against Purdue we wouldn’t be having this conversation

 

[Upstream]

Well right now Oklahoma doesn't belong either 191 yards to 0 yards. 21-0 score in 1st qtr. These playoffs completely blow balls. I'm losing interest even before the Championship.

The Oklahoma game is making the ND game look like a nailbiter

 

[zappaa]

I'd say they don't deserve to be there because it's already been established that they aren't the best in their conference, so why should they be invited to the stage where we determine who is the best in the country?


No.

I’d say that’s silly

 

[bac2therac]

Why

because based on criteria and rankings they deserved a spot...whether they are deserving AFTER the fact is another story. Oklahoma does not look deserving either, lets put Texas in instead

 

[NickRU714]

I'd say they don't deserve to be there because it's already been established that they aren't the best in their conference, so why should they be invited to the stage where we determine who is the best in the country?


No.

Do you feel the same about college basketball?

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

After today, my gut tells me the four best teams in the country are Bama, Georgia, Clemson, and OSU. Two of them aren't in the playoff.

 

[SoCalNYC]

yep

 

[RUJeffro]

Why. If the two best teams are in the same conference. Your argument makes zero sense.

To clarify, if you don’t win your conference (or division), you’re not the best in the country, so you should not be in the playoff to determine the best in the country.

 

[NickRU714]

After today, my gut tells me the four best teams in the country are Bama, Georgia, Clemson, and OSU. Two of them aren't in the playoff.

But but....Georgia already lost to Bama and OSU lost by 29.

Your neglecting the "unwritten rules" of deserving playoff inclusion.

Myabe they should have just skipped the first round since it seems nobody "deserved" to be there anyway.

 

[superfan01]

To clarify, if you don’t win your conference (or division), you’re not the best in the country, so you should not be in the playoff to determine the best in the country.

Huh? Georgia is better than Oklahoma. Oklahoma wouldn’t have won the SEC.

Wake up buddy. Your embarrassing yourself.
