It literally delegitimizes the game. But ratings...Still messed up to me that ND gets in when Miami doesnt.. and Miami won H2H
It would be funny as hell if Duke snuck in over JMU and were the sole ACC rep. I could see the playoff committee doing that to bump Miami and keep BamaCurrent Odds to make the CFP-
ND -1000
Bama - 300
Miami +140
Duke + 2000
I think Miami-9; ND-10; Alabama out.1- Indiana; 2- Ohio State; 3- Georgia; 4- Texas Tech; 5- Oregon; 6- Ole Miss; 7- Texas A&M; 8- Oklahoma; 9- Notre Dame; 10-Alabama; 11- Tulane and 12- James Madison.
You cant put a 5 loss team in.It would be funny as hell if Duke snuck in over JMU and were the sole ACC rep. I could see the playoff committee doing that to bump Miami and keep Bama
There’s a scenario where they move Duke above JMU (#25) in the rankings and thereby Duke gets the automatic bid as the 5th highest conference champion. I think it’s a longshot but even Vegas has established odds it could happen.You cant put a 5 loss team in.
You knew vegas would establish odds on it. The committee will get torched if they put a 5 loss team in the field.There’s a scenario where they move Duke above JMU (#25) in the rankings and thereby Duke gets the automatic bid as the 5th highest conference champion. I think it’s a longshot but even Vegas has established odds it could happen.
This is exactly how I have it too.1- Indiana; 2- Ohio State; 3- Georgia; 4- Texas Tech; 5- Oregon; 6- Ole Miss; 7- Texas A&M; 8- Oklahoma; 9- Notre Dame; 10-Alabama; 11- Tulane and 12- James Madison.
We should just have them play and see who wins?!! Oh waitStill messed up to me that ND gets in when Miami doesnt.. and Miami won H2H
I think this is spot on.1- Indiana; 2- Ohio State; 3- Georgia; 4- Texas Tech; 5- Oregon; 6- Ole Miss; 7- Texas A&M; 8- Oklahoma; 9- Notre Dame; 10-Alabama; 11- Tulane and 12- James Madison.

I am not pessimistic about THIS leading to the collapse of the ACC.I’m a pessimist so… no acc team makes it, leading to the eventual collapse of the acc (Miami, nc, Clemson, fsu leaving)… may take a few yrs… and as Syracuse fans were left out in the cold. It’s my nightmare but it looks increasingly more likely
Disagree about the expansion. No matter how many teams get in, there will always be the argument that there should be space for 1 more team. I actually like how each game in CFB is crucial during the regular season.I know that this isn’t a good look for the ACC it’s why teams want to leave. They should really expand this to 16 teams
Yea, I kind of wonder if lower ratings will eliminate the JMUs, Tulane's getting in the future.I think Ole Miss might drop. Really they should be the last team in. They played nobody OOC and beat only Oklahoma in conference. Oh and they lost their HC. They have no business being ranked where they are. Why are they ahead of A&M?
JMU at Oregon will anyone watch? Boise, Duke, and possibly Western Michigan are better than them.
Those teams can’t even get in to the ACC championship game but they think they are going to go compete in the BIG or SEC on a regular basis? I realize it’s all about the money.I’m a pessimist so… no acc team makes it, leading to the eventual collapse of the acc (Miami, nc, Clemson, fsu leaving)… may take a few yrs… and as Syracuse fans were left out in the cold.

Lot of casual eyes, myself included, would be watching and cheering for JMU same way as Cinderella teams during March Madness. Lest we forget Boise State years back doing the lord's work and beating Oklahoma, etc.Yea, I kind of wonder if lower ratings will eliminate the JMUs, Tulane's getting in the future.
