Bill Snyder is a God Damn magician..UCLA gonna lose
UCLA gonna lose
Not saying I agree with it but the committee obviously felt like the head to head was close enough (or they felt tcu played better but Baylor "stole" the game) that they valued it less in their deliberations than the overall body of work. If Baylor had beaten TCU twice there would be no rational argument that TCU was better.And what would that statement be, exactly?

So what would be proven if TCU won narrowly and "stole" the rematch?Not saying I agree with it but the committee obviously felt like the head to head was close enough (or they felt tcu played better but Baylor "stole" the game) that they valued it less in their deliberations than the overall body of work.

I don't know how you steal a win when you gain 782 yards. Just me doe.Not saying I agree with it but the committee obviously felt like the head to head was close enough (or they felt tcu played better but Baylor "stole" the game) that they valued it less in their deliberations than the overall body of work.

I imagine the committee would just emphasize the rest of their body of work if two head to heads resulted in a wash and it'd be the same as it is now.So what would be proven if TCU won narrowly and "stole" the rematch?
I didn't watch the game but coming back from 21 points to win the game by 3 in the waning seconds sounds like stealing a game to me regardless of yardage, though your point is duly noted.I don't know how you steal a win when you gain 782 yards. Just me doe.
61-58 is close regardless of yardage. You do not win any trophies for yardage. You don't win games with yardage.
U win games by scoring more than the other team
Brick was the first person to realize this many years ago. He opened my eyes to the concept.

This WAS the dumbest thing i had ever read on utopia.The SEC/ACC/Big Ten are all set up to get teams into the playoffs. They all miss five teams a year. Big Ten is suppose to go to nine conference games in 2016 but I bet that'll get shelved. Whereas the Pac-12 misses just two, Big XII miss zero. It's a giant advantage that teams like Bammer miss the better East teams this year.
Unfortunately it was immediately topped by this just posts later as the dumbest post ever.The blazers only lost to Memphis a few games back because they couldn't hit open 3s.
Yardage is something like that; you still need to score!
- How come nobody is talking about the fact that an FSU team that hasn't lost in two years finished 3rd behind two teams with losses? Any system that would have left that FSU team at home doesn't deserve the time of day.
12 team playoffs would be so awful
12 team playoffs would be so awful
Why?
Why?
But four weekends of playoff college footbaw, give it time and the selection committee/ESPN will make it so.
32 doesn't reward teams for having better seasons, and it's beyond what is needed to ensure that every legit team gets a shot.
The reason I like 12 more than 16 (which is where it's going to end up) is because of that incentive structure.
The NFL playoffs do just fine in the ratings, and nobody complains that it's too inclusive or that it doesn't produce a legitimate champion. And all I'm doing is taking the NFL model and applying it to CFB.
It's also worth mentioning that CFB has 4x as many teams as the NFL so it's actually a much more exclusive post-season in the college context.
Mak - although ESPN doesn't care about the kids do you think someone would uproar about the extended schedule length and safety of athletes? I've actually been a big proponent of 8-12, but a few of my friends clamor outrage for abuse and safety among the athletes playing. My counter is always they already don't give a shit about them why would they now?

6 teams would absolutely be the shit and guarantees a 1-loss conference champ gets in.
The 32nd team is just as deserving as the 12th team in your scenario. So why not just keep going?
On what logic? We don't even know who the 12th and 32nd teams are. It's not about desert. In order to ensure that only deserving teams ever got a shot at the title, you'd need a system that changed every year to reflect the events of that season.
And a 12 team system rewards teams for doing better. A 32 team system is just a flat bracket.
