Playoff rankings

Recommended Posts

People are mad at how the playoffs are set but ask yourself this question, do you really want to see Michigan v FSU or Washington v FSU? We are talking about a backup QB who will be going up against a dominant Michigan team or a Washington team that can put up so many points that FSU wont be able to keep up. The same mad people will be complaining about a non competitive playoff game.

I'll post this question again.  Who is going to be on the outside looking in?

Rose - Alabama vs MIchigan
Sugar - Texas vs Washington

Orange - Georgia vs Florida State
Cotton
Peach
Fiesta

Fact is when Georgia beats down Florida State is anyone going to really care that Florida State was left out of the playoff?  

 

If there was a 12 team playoff this year this is how it might go, bottom 8 teams play each other in the 1st round, top four teams get a bye and the best seed plays the 8 vs 9 etc.  

 

 

5 Florida State vs 12 Oklahoma:  winner against (4 Alabama)

6 Georgia vs 11 Ole Miss: winner against (3 Texas)

7 Ohio State vs 10 Penn State:  winner against (2 Washington)

8 Oregon vs 9 Missouri: winner against  (1 Michigan)

 

 

One is still going to have 11 super pissed off major college football programs next year depending on the seeding of this team or what team or the calls in the game this way or that way.   Not to mention a lot less importance on the regular season in a way or conference titles.  Will Ohio State vs Michigan at the end of the year matter as much as it usually does?   Not so sure about that and why even have a conference title that will just make things take even longer.  

 

And with the portal and NIL all players will simply go to only elite schools and that is pretty much it.  Why even transfer to a school that cannot get into the 12 team playoff?  So there will be what one weekend of the first 8 teams, then the 4 winners play the 4 that sat out so there is another weekend, then there will be only four left and that is one weekend then another weekend for the title....

 

Sure is great for TV ratings and money but honestly the bowl system was better and made fans happier because 50% of the teams that went to a bowl game won, now no one will even care about any bowl game even if they call a certain amount of 12 team playoff game bowl games.... and again there will be 11 pissed off major programs in college football and one winner that is not....

 

That kind of is the support, all of the talk and chatter about who is the best team, now with a playoff that is great but will add four weeks to the year and make bowl games basically not even exist most likely on the lower levels.  College Football is not college basketball and upsets are not as easy where in basketball now since the talent pool is so crap, smaller schools with seniors and experience beat more hyped up schools all the time, and honestly March Madness, college football is not that and no clue why they would want to be that.  

 

 

 

And actually Nick Saban had it right years ago and adding more games does not help the players and is a negative to the format.  What it does is help the people making the big money in the sport.  Not to mention he also predicted correctly the inbalance of the sport with NIL deals and it does not spread the talent around it just makes it all go to where the money is and the major programs.  

 

 

Back again though, when Florida State loses probably badly to Georgia, who will come defend them like this?  Georgia's defense will shut down Florida State and that run game, then Georgia offensively will spread the ball around to multiple receivers and get the ball out quickly and take advantage of the overly aggressive Florida State defense.  But no Florida State will win because they are so deserving of the 4th seed in the playoff?  I doubt it.  

 

Last time I checked, Alabama beating a team that has won 45 out of their last 46 games played in college football and winner of 29 games in a row.....  yeah that is more impressive than beating freaking Louisville!

If the final 4 is based of the 4 best teams then Alabama shouldn’t be in there. 
 

FSU deserves to be there, even if the end result is a blowout. We shouldn’t be ranking teams based on how we think they would do. They were a top 4 team going into the conference game. They shouldn’t get jumped by two teams. That’s ridiculous, what’s the point of the rankings teams during the season.

Yeah, they're should be no rankings at this point until they reveal the playoff bracket. Treat the 12 team playoff like the NCAA tournament. Avoids all this bull**** that shows their lack of a legitimate process on a week-to-week basis.

Given FSU's defense, not sure if those teams would really run up the score unless FSU's offense consistently put the defense in a bad spot.

Would've been really interesting to see what FSU's defense could've done vs those teams.
