They really didn’t, and I’m surprised so many people think they’re gonna easily beat Notre Dame.

It’s so hilarious hearing the grown men argue over the meaning of the word “best”.

I mean, the more you think about it, the more meaningless it becomes.

As with all things Southern and conservative, the argument quickly devolves into parsing words to defend evil.

Holy poo poo this is the worst format ever and is designed literally solely for the purpose of having talking heads yell at each other for an hour over which 4 teams and in what order they should have been selected, with it finally ending with them all stroking off the CFP committee and how great these teams and a team of loving chokers is.

Here let me offer a bunch of better suggestions:
1) autobids
2) have a loving computer do it
3) just release it all at once through a press release with no fanfare
4) everyone on espns talking head panel commits ritual suicide on live tv

ps gently caress you espn gently caress you alabama and gently caress you georgia

Once they made the QB change they beat the ever loving poo poo out of the bad teams they played though which is more than you can say for everyone else except Bama.

I think it's mainly bc Clemsons O and D are "flashier" with big play makers where ND is just a steady attack. So just by the nature of their play, it makes them look weaker

I agree with autobids. Expand to 8, each P5 conference gets an autobid, a G5 gets a slot, and the remaining two at-large, and the committee gets to determine rankings and at-large. First game is played after championship weekend at the higher seed's home, then the semis and finals are played as they currently out.

Pay me, ESPN.

actually i think you will find that army threw a total of 85 attempts this year, with 44 completions, and 20% (895) of their total yards came through passing. (they did also run 716 times for 3333 yards)

for comparison, they threw 65 attempts with 20 completions last year, and a total of 361 yards. they ran 785 times for 4710 yards as well.

clearly, they are trending towards a modern balanced 50/50 offense and will achieve that somewhere around 2022.
