College Football Playoff Reaction: Boise State controls its destiny, SEC Championship game conflict

[@Ders506]

Just remember Danny is salty that his Seminoles are about to go 2-10.

[@Foggydidwhat]

Indiana and Notre dame will finish as top 12 teams with proof that they are not good teams. Notre dame lost to current #7 MAC. Once the committee realizes that the playoff should be determined by regular season schedule plus ability to win the championship/beat teams in contention, it makes a lot of sense.

I love that Dodd has a Jeanty for Heisman (video?) behind him. #HEI2MAN

[@Bbbbbbbbbbbbb728]

Man’s said I can’t remember a team that beat 3 ranked teams in a row as if Georgia was like 30-0 not too long ago

[@SamuelCulper-h6s]

Ga wasn’t 30-0…They lost twice to Bama in that stretch!

[@Axel-fn]

​@SamuelCulper-h6s Georgia was 30-0 between times losing to Bama, including a win against Bama in the national championship game. They also went 12-0 against top 25 (ranked at the time) teams during that stretch.

[@SamuelCulper-h6s]

@ They lost to Bama last year and the year before that! Bama hasn’t been outta the top 25 in over a decade.

[@Axel-fn]

@SamuelCulper-h6s That doesn't change the point that Georgia had multiple stretches of beating ranked opponents consecutively. Side note Georgia hasn't been unranked since Kirby's first year either

[@bjebel1]

The FCS has a 24 team playoff. The FBS should have a minimum of a 16 team playoff.

[@Grae2079]

It’s going to 16 next

[@chadctaylor]

Boohoo! Poor SEC…

Breaking Down NCAA Football FBS Conferences into North, South, East, and West Divisions To create a structure for fair divisional play and playoffs, we first divide the existing FBS conferences into four divisions: North, South, East, and West, based on geography. This structure maintains competitive balance while fostering regional rivalries and enabling rotating schedules. 1. Divisional Breakdown by Conference Here’s a sample realignment for each FBS conference into four geographic divisions: ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) North: Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville South: Clemson, Florida State, Miami, Wake Forest East: Duke, NC State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech West: Virginia, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame (independent), Duke (rotates) Big Ten North: Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Wisconsin South: Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern East: Ohio State, Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers West: Iowa, Nebraska, Northwestern, Wisconsin Big 12 North: Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, BYU South: Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU East: West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF, Houston West: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, BYU, Kansas Pac-12 North: Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State South: USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State East: Colorado, Utah, Stanford, California West: Stanford, Oregon, Boise State west. Continuing the Divisions for Other Conferences SEC (Southeastern Conference) North: Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt South: Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss East: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Clemson (proposed addition) West: Texas A&M, LSU, Arkansas, Oklahoma (future addition) AAC (American Athletic Conference) North: Temple, Navy, East Carolina, Charlotte South: Tulane, USF, UAB, FAU East: Memphis, SMU, Rice, Tulsa West: UTSA, North Texas, Houston, SMU Mountain West North: Boise State, Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado State South: New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Fresno State East: Utah State, Nevada, Hawaii, San Jose State West: Hawaii rotates Boise anchor rotate. Fair Playoff and Rotational Play Setup To ensure fairness, divisions rotate opponents from other divisions, similar to how NFL conferences structure interdivisional play. Here's how it could work: Inter-Division Rotation: Each division plays 2 home games and 2 away games against teams from another division within the conference (e.g., ACC North plays ACC South one season, ACC East the next, etc.). Teams still play 6 games within their division to maintain competitive balance and rivalries. This setup creates a 9-game regular season schedule. Playoff Structure: Each division champion qualifies for the conference playoff (4 teams per conference). The winner of each conference playoff advances to the FBS National Playoff. 12-Team National Playoff: 5 conference champions (Power 5). 2 highest-ranked Group of Five champions. 5 at-large bids determined by rankings. Playoff Seeding: Seeding is based on overall record, strength of schedule, and rankings. First-round byes go to the top 4 seeds. Remaining 8 teams play in the first round, with higher seeds hosting. Season Rotation Example: Year 1: North plays South, East plays West. Year 2: North plays East, South plays West. Year 3: North plays West, South plays East. Repeat cycle. Benefits of This System Competitive Balance: Ensures teams face different styles and strengths every year. Rivalries Preserved: Divisional matchups maintain historic and regional rivalries. Fair Playoff Access: A clear path to conference championships and national contention for all teams. Reduced Scheduling Conflicts: Fewer games within divisions make rotations manageable without overloading schedules.

[@surfngolf4life]

FYI - This was my proposed idea before conference re-alignment. So obviously this changes too, but we need divisions and maybe a smaller CFP bracket after we have champs from all conferences determined. ALL Conference champs. Then rank the conferences and match by conference strength so it is fair and no power teams knock each other out before championship.

[@45-CommentDeleted-47]

If 32 teams were in the playoff everyone would bitch about #33.

[@wpsblake]

Danny K is a joke. He is pushing a narrative that BSU doesn’t belong. And he’s attempting to prop up Colorado. Also he’s putting Jeanty down (best player in college and propping up Hunter who doesn’t have good performances like the very last game where he as a corner got beat and the guy he was covering caught 3 of 4 balls thrown to him and one for a TD. How is that good defense? Also on offense had just 55 yards, 3rd on his own team. But he, and so many others in media say he’s pulling away with the race…..such bs. They twist the facts and leave out most of the facts. (Jeanty is leading the nation in about 5 categories at least, none for Hunter, he’s borderline top 10 receiver barely currently and not a top corner. He plays a lot of snaps….so?) They say in the last game that he had a TD and interception…but anyone could have ran in untouched on that TD like he did and ANYONE could have caught that lollipop of of a tipped ball directly to him

[@himrbean100]

Preach my brother! Nothing but facts!

[@mrsullivan1709]

You need to realize what makes people see greatness in players. Top receivers who have low numbers generally have them due to them being double and sometimes triple covered. They are not available to the offensive scheme unless someone blows an assignment. As a corner sometimes you make a bad step or just get beat. Especially when you just played 12 snaps on offense. Deion’s stats don’t jump off the page at you either. Because as a receiver he was always doubled and as a corner nobody would throw his way. Jeanty is good. There’s no doubt. But best player in college? C’mon man. Keep in mind who he is playing against. He’s not playing the same level of competition week in and week out. I have no doubt that he is a finalist but Hunter will be too and he’s got two position stat lines to lean on just like Jayden Daniels did last year. Jeanty I think will win the Doak Walker. He could win both but I think the Doak Walker is more likely.

[@frogger_222]

You're kidding, right? Boise state has only played 1 P4 team all year & y'all lost? Moreover, you were pushed around the field by mediocre G5 teams! Don't act like y'alls bid is anything more than a participation trophy 😂. Everyone hopes they get the 5 seed so that they get an easy win against y'all 😂. So stop complaining about the free meal you don't deserve.

The cfp committee already has said they won’t ding teams who make it to the conference championship- idk why this is even a discussion if they’ve already said they won’t hold it against those teams who play that extra game

[@joshuaevans1279]

When did they say that.

[@mrsullivan1709]

Because they have proved in the past that they will. Georgia lost the SEC title game and got the boot.

A closer look reveals that the "prolific" resumes of the top SEC teams, are not so impressive: - Georgia played 6-5 Tennessee Tech after squeaking by 6-Loss Kentucky by one point, then lost to Alabama who lost to Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss who lost to 6-Loss Kentucky....and, now they play cupcake 8-LOSS UMASS, in November. Georgia has no credibility. - Tennessee played 5-Loss Chattanooga, 5-Loss NC State, and 0-11 (yes, winless) Kent State before getting beat by 5-loss Arkansas. Now, they're playing cupcake UTEP in November. I don't want to hear another effing word about Tennessee. - Alabama lost to 4-Loss Vanderbilt and played 5-Loss Wisconsin along with perennial juggernauts, Mercer in late November and Western Kentucky. Nuff said. What strength of schedule? - Someone in Hillbillyville should tell Lane Kiffin that Ole Miss' schedule included 7-Loss Furman, 7-Loss Middle Tennessee, 6-Loss Wake Forest AND 4-Loss Georgia Southern. And, then they got spanked by unranked, 6-Loss Kentucky and lost to unranked, 4-Loss LSU. Ole Missy's soft schedule has more opponents with more losses than any other SEC team. I'm not even listening to any BS argument about Ole Miss making the CFP. - Texas lost to the only ranked team they played (an overrated Georgia team), but managed to fit powerhouses Colorado State, UTSA and 5-Loss LA-Monroe into their cupcake party. - Texas A&M played 5-Loss McNeese State and has not beaten a ranked team all year, and has 2 losses to the only two ranked teams they've played, including getting blown out by 3-Loss South Carolina and losing to Notre Dame who lost to Northern Illinois. And, to lend support to Texas A&M weakness of schedule, they play 8-loss New Mexico State in November. - There are no undefeated teams in the SEC and 10 of the SEC's 16 teams have 3 or more losses. - Overall, top to bottom, the SEC has the weakest strength of schedule based on opponent losses and opponent conference play against P5 opponents than any other conference AND, overall, the SEC travels the FEWEST miles, rarely outside their own time zone, to play ranked non-conference teams than any conference in the nation. - Advice for the SEC: If you want higher rankings in the CFP, stop playing really bad cupcakes with 5+ losses in the month of November, get on a plane once in while and play top ranked non-conference opponents on the road, and stop losing to non-ranked SEC opponents. My granddad, a former running back for Army, once said, "Just because you date your own sister, that don't make her the prettiest girl in the pageant...regardless of what your uncle daddy tells ya."

This is the problem. Why would it go to 12 teams? 8 teams was the #. I know that would leave my Dawgs scrapping to get from 10 to 8 in2 weeks, but all the years of bcs and 4 teams there were 5 or 6 teams with good arguments to be in it. 12 is ridiculous!! And why feel obligated to let the Boise State's or whoever it would be get in unless they are top 8. Stupid people in charge

[@CardDealermoe]

Youre about a year late now complaining about 12 team bracket. Playoffs right around the corner. And youre complaining about boise st getting in but want your trash carson beck interception throwing machine in the playoffs jus to lose in the first round. STHU

I agree about the Boise state comment. They've only played 1 P4 school all year & lost. Then, they proceeded to barely beat mediocre G5 teams.

[@Foggydidwhat]

I cannot wait for us in college football to grow up. The #5 seed has the easiest path as listed for #1-12 than any other team. And it’s not close

[@jordanlovett443]

The top 12 teams should get in simple as that forget about conference championships. Who cares if you’re not ranking the top 12, then you don’t get into the playoffs simple.

[@SurferRC]

But we dont know the top 12. Rankings are guesses not facts
