Everide2016 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Too funny that nobody even bothered to comment on Notre Dame. I think we all knew they didn't even belong in these games. Crying shame the NCAA is so ignorant and won't give the fans what they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a big proponent of earning your spot and I feel like ND earned it. So I had no complaints about them being there and I honestly felt like they had the talent to win the game. The coaching on offense for UND was atrocious though. If you get a chance to go back and watch it, Clemson loaded the right side of the line on D and left #9 on an island and ND would drop back and pass every time. The RB was doing good vs Clemson but they would not give it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And might've won all 11 had they not had to play one another in the first game last year. Geez. And there was all the talk of "parity" and such for years. Yet two programs are running the show.

Well, I’m thinking any given year there could be up to four teams who could win it, but that doesn’t mean they all get in. I feel like with 8 teams you’d have all of the teams participating who could legitimately win the national championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anymore than 4 teams would ruin what makes the sport of college football special. Every game matters. It’s not the NFL. You can’t be mediocre and make the playoffs.

UCF couldn’t beat the SEC’s 5th place team, which was fielding it’s 2nd team defense. They were exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Jr tried to lead the team as best he could, but it’s like going from Ehlinger to Buechele and expecting UT to produce the same results. I do agree LSU proved to have more athletes all over the field, but missing your starting QB is a huge difference maker for any team, even Alabama.

EnjoyLife Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I had ND at #5 behind Ohio St. and Georgia but they went 12-0 so imo they did earn their shot in the playoff. Problem is that Bama and Clemson are just way better than any other programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not make the NFL, HS, and other college levels only 4 teams in their "playoff" so they can be as "special?" Because the 4 team approach isn't special.

Hmmmmmmmmm That's a prime example showing why the playoff should be at least 16 or even 32 teams. Any team can get on a hot streak and knock off a team that all of us thought was better. That's why HS playoffs are so good, if you can just get your foot in the door, you have a chance to upset a so called legitimate contender. The NCAA and those big schools that have the real control don't want to upset the apple cart and risk this, that's a large part of why they're so resistant to opening that door even a little.
