Squid, I too have been unable to forgive this team after the NIU loss. I boycotted the rest of the season and never watched a second of any game played thereafter. HOWEVER, that was a regular season boycott. Also, NIU released a special bourbon whiskey to commemorate the upset, and I have procured a bottle. My challenge is to finish this bottle before the playoff game to exorcise all the demons from that horrible, horrible day. As Bill the Butcher said, "to defeat my enemy, I extinguish his life and consume him as I consume [this whiskey]"

Looking backwards historically, applying a 12 team format would have been totally unnecessary to crown a champ. But I think there’s some new parity across CFB and losing ONE game shouldn’t preclude you from playing for the title. 2 losses is still a lot different - it means the first loss isn’t a fluke

What do you think has led to the new parity? Is it a function of NIL and the transfer portal, or does the trend go back farther than that?

It's like Ryno said on the pod: "Clearly what matters [to the committee] is who you lost to, not who you beat." Do you think that's how it SHOULD be though? Penn State's loss is better than ours, but our wins are much better (for example).

@ I hear you. It’s just that there is a rational argument to be made that says a loss like that alone could disqualify a team from deserving a shot at a title. I don’t agree with that argument. I think 11-1 with our wins should put us in. But the argument is defensible nonetheless.

But then Alabama and Ole Miss had a bye, and they moved up 3 spots??? I think Notre Dame should get in at 11-1, but holding us accountable for losing to NIU, so prob not hosting a playoff game. But I can also see the committee screwing us by leaving us out. Might this be there way of forcing Notre Dame to join a conference? I am also rooting for LSU against Bama this weekend, even thou I despise Brian Kelly, I don't want Bama jumping us, and if we get in and have to meet one of these two teams down the line, I think we have a better shot against LSU.
