Anyone advocating for a 6-team playoff needs to consider that it would mean OSU got into the playoff.

So Clemson is going to the Orange bowl right or could they go to the Cotton bowl still? Would rather not go to Dallas for New Years

not sure if i want ou v bama because then one of them has to lose, or ou-clemson and bama-msu because that means that it's POSSIBLE neither of them make the ncg. tough decision.

I used to advocate 6 teams, but this season suggests it would regularly mean a 2 loss team or two would get in and eventually win the thing. gently caress that. gently caress two loss champs except you Les Miles you're cool.

Also gently caress Ohio State.

Could be Clemson, Bama, Sparty, OU because if OU is in the 3rd spot, they would get a defacto home game in Dallas vs the higher ranked team.

Committee has said that they won't mess with seeding like that but the committee is also full of poo poo so I fully anticipate this happening.

I went to Dallas to watch Nebraska play in the Cotton Bowl in like 07.. Road tripped it and had to sleep on a prison mattress in a middle school gym in New Mexico due to a blizzard shutting down the highways. Then we got stomped by Auburn after making it to Dallas just in time for the game. loving never going to Texas again

Nah. The 6 conference winners (AAC, seriously) and 2 at larges or something. And I would be in charge of the rules committee to ensure OSU would only get in unless they won the Big 10. Among other things.

Go Houston! AAC Champs NY6 bowling!

You literally could not draw up a more nightmarish season of college football for me on an individual level. Alma mater goes 3-9, loses its best coach in school history, and commences a stupefyingly bad search for his replacement? Check. Most hated rival goes 13-0, including a win over a lifelong rooting interest that featured an egregiously bad call at the end? Check! Jesus Christ.

That being said, I still love this sport because I'm a crazy person. Here's to a fun and good playoff that involves Clemson winning absolutely nothing.

penalizing a team for going undefeated, winning their division, then losing a championship game in the last 30 seconds by 3 would be super, super lovely

I feel bad for UNC because I remember Iowa being screwed over by that same call against Florida in a bowl years ago. It wouldn't be an instant game winner, but UNC would definitely have had a shot.

Man, I loving love Mark Dantonio. Yeah, he just said god was favoring his team. And yeah, he did bail players out of jail and then start them the next saturday. And yeah, he can be a bit of a Saban-lite, a robot who displays mostly rage and a little humor only when stuff is going perfectly. Yet, he's turned my favorite program from a laughingstock into a playoff team.

When I was growing up, being a state fan meant being a loving joke. We made an art of blowing games, and I thought that would be my lot for life. That's pretty much gone now. It's telling that the refrain has gone from "Sparty No" to "Sparty On". All throughout my fandom, we found ways to not win games. Now we're finding ways to win them. As someone who grew up a State fan, Lions fan and a Tigers fan, it's just a shock to have a team I root for show up in big moments, and win big games. We don't have to win on New Years Eve, because in my eyes we've already won to some degree. The culture has changed. Mediocrity and blown chances are no longer our ethic, and it feels loving great.

I am very happy that I took two shots of 113 proof moonshine directly before the final play of the Iowa game, because it has both made it easier to cope and dissuaded me from drinking further. I ordered greasy food instead because that's what I want when I'm drunk.
