Kanell always finding some bullshit reasoning like "South Carolina doesn't have a good enough resume" but then advocating to include three ACC teams including Miami! A team that lost to unranked Ga. Tech and Syracuse, beat a terrible Cal team by 1 (in a game they should have lost), beat Va. Tech by 4 (in a game they should have lost) and whose best win was 7-points over Louisville! Kanell can never hide his bias and jealously regarding the SEC. Meanwhile you could take the SEC's 6th or 7th best team and win the ACC.

If Boise State beats UNLV, there is zero doubt they should get the first round bye over the Big 12 champ based on how competitive they were able to make the game against Oregon at Autzen. The Big 12 is definitely the worst of the power 4 conferences and I don’t think there’s a single team in the Big 12 who could keep Oregon within 10 points at Autzen. In general, the Big 12 is better than the G5, but now that Texas and Oklahoma are in the SEC, the degree of separation this season between the Big 12 and G5 isn’t that great, and again, no one in the Big 12 would be able to give a legit title contender like Oregon the type of game Boise State did, especially on the road.

I would have ND at #5 and Penn St. since they appear to loose their conference championship game down to #6, and then OSU at #7 they have two losses, and Georgia then at #8 as they now have 3 losses since I see Texas at #2 meaning they lost to Texas in the Conference championship game and now have 3 losses.. Indiana #9 with 1 loss over #10 Tennessee with 2 losses.. Then Miami at #11 and Arizona St at #12.. When it comes down to week #2, I do not see either SMU or Boise winning their games.. its not going to happen.. the problem with the format you have here is, its not actually putting the 4 best teams or all the teams in some semblance of their true ranking of their abilities.. that being the top team we would probably all agree is Oregon, and then perhaps Texas, but nobody is going to tell me of the remaining teams that both SMU and Boise are the next two best teams.. its one thing to guarantee a playoff birth, its another to give a conference champion a top spot simply because they are a conference champion.. its fine to grant an automatic bid, but it does not have to be the top 4 spots and a bye.. I really think that Oregon, Texas, perhaps ND and OSU or PENN ST. would have been better suited as the top 4 seeds with a bye.. Of coarse we still have Championship week coming up, but going by what I see here on the playoff board, this is how I see things.. NCAA needs to change the conference champions guaranteed a top 4 seed with a bye, and just guarantee a Bid in the big dance!! Maybe a guarantee that they get a home game in the first round.. unless of coarse they truly are viewed as one of the top 4 teams in the entire NCAA.. Then by all means give them a seed at the top and the bye.. As far as the battle of the 9-3 teams in the SEC, I am voting in for Ole Miss, their resume is better then the other two.. with a huge loss by Bama at OU, that was really bad.. and SC also got trounced by Ole Miss.. and they also beat Georgia handily.. so if its either Miami and or Ole Miss, its a toss up for me.. whomever the committee says is a better team.. but the 3 loss teams in the SEC, my pick is Ole Miss.. look at head to head and then common opponents.. Man I can not wait for Championship Saturday..

Throw a Dart, WTF! SC lost to both Ole Miss and Bama, that’s the Tie Breaker. And Miami, give me a Break. Losing a 21-0 lead and wins have been very close. No Way they should be in

Having Miami above Alabama is asinine. Miami ought to have 4 losses. They have beaten nobody and lost to a nobody.

[@MichaelMelko-l1l]

So it doesn’t matter how many wins you have it’s if they guys like you

[@byrondowling195]

Just one guy's opinion here but if it came down to one team between the quartet of Miami Bama SC and Ole Miss, I think I would go with Ole Miss. My reason why boils down to these: I think Miami's defense is too much of a liability and if we're being honest they should've lost to either Cal and VT or both so for me they're out. For Alabama, I think the loss to Oklahoma is an outright eliminator of a game. You are allowed to lay an egg, but you are not allowed to get manhandled by an inferior team. They may have a high ceiling (like Miami) but they have too low of a floor (also like Miami). To me that leaves a debate between Ole Miss and SC and given that Ole Miss beat SC head to head and they have a better win than any of SC's, I would give them the nod. Just my thoughts

[@ld4974]

You make a good case.

[@byrondowling195]

​@@ld4974Appreciate it!

[@rowdy9379]

I'm unhappy about the way their doing it. It should be based on Wins. The Conferences need too be more even and more Regional. It needs a reset.

[@tedlorenzen860]

Yeah, and have the SEC play a 9th game.

[@jcelldogs]

Who wants to make a wager that espn will pull their bs and have all sec teams in the playoffs far away from meeting in the first rounds to keep them alive as long as possible?

[@robertmeng955]

I agree the MW schedule doesn't come anywhere near the SOS for a Big Ten or SEC but I do question whether the Big 12 is much stronger if at all. I hear a lot of talk about whether this team or that would win on a neutral field to determine rankings and I'm not convinced either ASU or Iowa State beat Boise State on a neutral field.

[@ilovemyplayfulcat320]

I'm a Dawgs fan since 69. I'd take ASU

[@f.m.arouet7863]

This 12 team playoff is bullshit. It should have been 8. They're letting teams in the playoff that just don't deserve to be there.

[@biofixphysicaltherapy5353]

How is BYU not in the mix over Miami or Alabama? I mean, they smashed SMU🤷‍♂️

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

3 point game, not a smash. But still, they did beat smu.

[@garuiz3487]

Last year FSU got left out. Despite the resume

[@WhitneyGadison1]

This year isn’t last year. They wouldn’t had been able to compete without Jordan Travis. And their sos was weak compared to the teams that were in. Michigan had the #7 sos. Washington had the #1 sos. Bama had the #2 sos and Texas had the #12 sos. FSU sos was 36. Not too mention, last year it was only 4 teams

[@slibertas1996]

Indiana will not be the 10 seed. Boise State will be the 3 seed

[@jamesmanuel9909]

You're both wrong but its okay

[@polar2741]

The BIG12 fucked around all season and both iowa state and arizona state have looked shit throughout points in the season and have had their losses. Boise State has been flawless you can't say any BIG12 team deserves the first round bye ahead of them

[@MikeB-wx9mt]

The Big 12 Is In A Harder Conference Boise Only Had UNLV To Worry About Stop It Cant Wait To Boise Lose They Cant Do Nothing But Run The Ball

[@cashtherealsaint]

In my opinion, as a ole miss fan, i believe Ole Miss is the best team out of miami, SC, bama, and Ole Miss. SC lost to ole miss by 24 points at SC, so how can they be above ole miss. Miami does not have an impressive win and hasn't looked good in wins. So now it is down to bama and Ole Miss, which i think is a toss-up, but i think what edges out ole miss is loss margin ole miss has lost by 13 combine points, bama has lost by 33 combined points. That is my case for ole miss.

[@ErikEstrada-n6m]

Ole Miss lost UF and Miami dog walked them in the swamp, so your argument is flawed. You need to take that into consideration.

PSU and Indiana haven't played anyone, and Oregon has barely beat a few teams that isn't any good so stop acting like Ohio State has a tough schedule

College football is going down the drain. They need to put someone in charge of it that knows what their doing.

Ohio should be OUT they legit holding on to the brand instead of the SOFT SCHEDULE THEY HAD 3 game all year and LOST 2
