I have said Alabama had zero business in the CFP. Ole Miss, UGA and Texas A&M deserved to be in. ND should have been in over OU for sure. It gets very subjective after that.
The ACC had no one else to make a case for.
Hocus Pocus junk. Miami was the only deserving ACC Team last year. They got in over ND because the CFP Committee did not want to leave the ACC out while bringing in two G5 teams.
The modern Olympics started in 1896. Mostly amateurs until the Cold War era started. Then only some Countries tried to actually limit competitors to amateurs.
Cheating is bart of human nature for a whole lot of people. That will not change going forward.
The ACC leadership has been very weak for a long time and have done a poor job advocating for the Conference as a whole. They did a decent job regarding the past 2 CFPs with 12 teams getting both SMU and Clemson in 2 years ago and Miami in last year. Now compared to the SEC and B1G they are...
Comparing college football to any Pro Sport is not useful. There are 138 FBS Teams that play 12 games. No pro sport has anything like that. Conference teams have generally played about half the teams in the conference. Again nothing like that happens in any pro sport. As such those...
And those same rules say the Top 5 ranked Conference Champions get into the CFP. Every coach knew that rule as well. Duke was not one of the Top 5 Conference Champions and their overall record was not good enough to get an at large bid. Bingo!
Which tells you how screwed up Conference CGs are with 16-18 team conferences. Some game between two crap teams score decides who goes to the CG. They can’t dump these stupid games fast enough and expand the playoff.
Which is why I said 16 and 24 are better than the crap we have had.
With only 12 there will be human bias regardless of how you decide. If you think Duke winning the ACC was more accurate than selecting Miami that’s your opinion. With a 17 team ACC and teams playing 8 conference games it’s...
Of course it will never happen. Any as there are 138 FBS Teams divide that by 8 and you still have 8 conferences with 17 teams in each. So do you play only the teams in your Division, rather insane or you are playing about 1/2 the teams in your conference making the Conference Champion not...
Have you explained what your alternative to committees is? If it is some sort of metric based system using algorithms then it is not really any better than a committee. Comparing the disparity in teams with vastly different schedules based on 12 games is not really any better.
Committees...
The issues was the schools, coaches and administrators making millions when the players got nothing. The NCAA had plenty of opportunity to come up with reasonable solutions and failed.
Then the Team's Boosters tossed any semblance of rules aside spending millions on pay to play. So NCAA...
The challenge in assessing team's backcourts for next season is with all the transfers no one really has a clue. You can be sure there are at least 5 ACC teams that will have excellent backcourts next season. The same is true for all 5 of the Power Conferences. There are far more very good...
