What Teams get left out of the Playoffs?

[Ragin9221]

While I agree with your concept of 10 conference winners, the P5 will not simply give up five playoff berths to G5's. Next year, the G5 is promised only one of 12 slots or 8.3% of the field. If CFP ever goes to 16 teams (and why not?) G5 conferences should only agree if at least a 2nd slot is promised which makes up 12.5% of the field. Probably best case scenario.

I know it will never happen but it’s only fair way. I mean every other sport in college has a fair system why not football.

I look at it like this if the top 10 seeded teams which would be out of the BCS conference want to complain about sos etc. well then they shouldn’t have a problem with beating a lowly G5 school.

Also all it is, is giving a chance for anyone to be able to compete for a National Championship.

Just like Baseball when Coastal Carolina won in baseball or Loyola Chicago went to the sweet 16.

All I want is a chance to compete for a National Title.

It would make conference championships more important then it already is.

If you dont win your conference then why should you compete for a National Title.

Florida State is one of only three undefeated P5 conference champions. They were left out only because one player got injured.

That’s complete BS.

Few things that don't make sense when it comes to the committee.

-They moved FSU up to 4 after beating Florida with backup QB. Then dropped them to 5 after beating #15 Louisville with 3rd string QB in the rain. All while knowing QB that beat Florida would be back in time for playoff games.

-Their ranking system is highly questionable in my opinion. They rank all the teams to get seeds 1-3. Then they RERANK the rest of the teams to get the 4 seed. If they think is good enough to rank them 4 while comparing all teams, why do they redo everything after taking the top 3 out?

They didn't move FSU up .. Ohio State lost to Michigan and dropped out of top 4.

Pretty clear They gave Florida St the chance to dominate Louisville and make their lives easier, but for a variety of reasons that didn't happen..

So you get this "eye test" bulls***

It’s one of the published guidelines for the committee, they are to take into account the loss of key players. It’s clear the fla state QB qualifies as a key player.

The winner of the Georgia/Florida State Orange Bowl will have just as much of a right to claim a National Championship as the winner of this invitational tourney will have.


From the days of the Polls deciding, to the BCS, to the CFP, the "National Championship" has always been mythical.

Florida state should decline saying the committee told them playing S-E-C teams is weak scheduling and hurts their brand, and ask to swap with UL and go to nola bowl instead.

Plus cite they don't want the extra playing time a late bowl allows for risk of more injuries

UGA < Bama < Texas < Oklahoma < Kansas < OK State < South Alabama < THE Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns

all the anti-sec sentiment here, in the southeast. it would only ever be anecdotal, but i wonder, just for a random example, if the fans of the dayton flyers generally hate and pull against the big-10. do richmond spiders fans hate the acc?

They should, but it’s not important. What Cajun fans care about is important.

Evidently "take into account" is more ironclad than JMU being inelegible for a bowl.

So let’s just say FSU beats UGA…then what?

Then, they claim a National Championship. It would be just as valid as the CFP invitational winner claiming one. Same for Georgia.

Any playoff that doesn’t include, at a minimum, all FBS conference champions is a bogus playoff.
