I think it would have been very bad for CFB if Georgia got in with 2 losses. May as well just renamed the playoff the SEC invitational. Herbstreit was fellating Georgia hard last night.

I think it would have been very good becuase it would have pissed off some conference comissioners and university presidnets and then they would fix this thing, Expand it to 6, don't need 8, top 2 get a bye. All teams play 9 conference games and can only play one non P5 opponent otherwise you don't qualify.

Which 6 get in?

Go to 8 team playoff, 9 conference games, and do away with conference divisions. Conference champs w/ 3 at large is the best we could hope for IMO.

You realize the math doesn't work with 6

Conference champsionships should not be an automatic qualifier. In that case Washington would get in...they lost to Auburn which was a mid pack SEC team this year.

Correct. Washington does not deserve a shot at the NC, unless the regular season doesnt matter.

Georgia has to win the SEC first before they can play a OU or a unbeaten Notre Dame..

No 2nd chances..
Agreed.
You realize in an 8 team playoff, georgia would in fact get that second chance you (rightfully) claim they dont deserve?

And if NW and Pitt would have won with a 8 team play off last night they would be in..
Clemson and Ohio St would have to hope for an at- large berth... That is how it works if you’re going to have a divisions and a CCG...

Why? This makes no sense. I am not saying they are, but Georgia could be the 2nd best team in the country behind the team they just lost to. It should be the 4 best and IMHO I think that is Bama, Clemson, UGA and OU. Yes ND is undefeated and played what in some years would be a tough schedule but the teams on their schedule were not very good this year and they barely beat some of those mediocre teams like Pitt, USC and Vanderbilt.

So you agree there should not be an 8 team playoff?
Or you think even a five loss pitt team deserves a shot at the NC for winning their conference?
Clemson and OSU would not deserve a shot at all in that scenario.

Again I ask, you do realize in an 8 team playoff Georgia would be in, right? Even though you say they dont deserve it?

So because YOU think so, thats what it is?
Georgia has been eliminated from NC consideration. A two loss, non conference champ team does not deseerve a shot. At all.

Could have, should be would have but didn’t.. beating teams like Austin Peay and Massachusetts and Middle Tennessee st looks so impressive...
I didn’t see any of those powerhouses on Notre Dame schedule..LaughingLaughing
