If you controlled the CFP, you would…..

TCU is very fast. They incorporate it differently than UT does.

I think TCU could give UGA their toughest meaningful game.

Just remember how much Texas throttled that QB and then insert Georgia....Yikes

 

[VOLfrombama]

Best 8 teams. Resume = ranking

Same criteria but forget all this political conference winner mumbo jumbo. It’s essentially a tournament in and of itself anyway.

Let the best team playing the best ball in January win.

Nah

If I controlled the CFP I would fire whoever scheduled the show tonight

I'd put the four best teams in, which are Georgia, UT, Ohio State, and Michigan. Georgia plays the OSU/MU loser in the #1-4 game, and we get the winner. No one aside from national media tools and homer fans of the other schools would argue that these are the four best teams this season.

If the idea really is to get the four best teams, then the committee needs to stop pussyfooting around with pretenders like TCU, USC, and especially Clemson. Conference championships shouldn't mean a damn thing in this setup, because all conferences aren't created equal. Unless you are taking all the conference champs, then it shouldn't be a factor.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Some interesting takes here. If we’re going on non-biased eye-test tho, the 4 best teams this year are UGA, OSU, TN, and Michigan.

 

[sami]

I'd make it an 8 team field with some bye games and that would eliminate what we are going through now.

Wait until you see how the "expanded" playoff ruins the last few weeks of the season, taking away do or die games like we have all over CFB the next few weeks, and all the attention this debate is bringing. Then we get two rounds of blowouts to get to what will in almost every case be those four teams that would have made the 4-team CFP.

Hell, I'm for bringing back the BCS and having conference championships and bowls mean something again.

It should be the BEST 4 teams, period. I understand a conference champ deserves it side to a certain extent, but when you struggle all season long with 3 and 4 loss teams, no. You don’t deserve it at that point.

 

[Vol865]

8 team playoff
All P5 Conf. Champs with 2 losses or less get automatic bid
Rest at large

In a four team playoff and five P5 conferences, it's silly to consider one conference title as a factor over any other. Either take all the champs or just pick the four best teams based on the seasons they had.

The funny part about it is that few objective people would argue that UGa, UT, OSU, and UM are the four best teams this season. TCU will be Cincinnati part 2 if they get in this thing, and the committee knows it.

We all know it lol. Hopefully they realize that was an experiment that failed.

This is the single worst take in your storied career. Go back to picking fights with the families of recruits; it’s preferable to this.

 

[Carl Pickens]

They had given up over 30 ppg average in 7 games previous to Texas… they ain’t that good

TCU is overrated. The Big 12 is trash

 

[bobbyutvol]

TCU has played 2 ranked teams none in the top ten,,, Vols have played 6 ranked teams 5 in the top ten at one time. TCU is a good team BUT not top 4 in the country. What happened to srtength of Schd.... The committe does not want 2 SEC teams in the way I see it. Screw the NCAA

 

[GAVol]

I’d make it an 8 team playoff with automatic bids for the P5 champs and 3 at large teams. No need for it to be more complicated than that.

 

[Vol*n*teer]

I wouldn't give uga a home game in the first round.
I would make the big 10 champ play one ooc game that matters.
I would give the SEC two automatic bids

The issue with that is the committee uses their rankings late in the season to determine games “that mattered” at the beginning of the season.

When we played, our game at Pitt mattered and was an impressive road win. Ohio States win against Notre Dame didn’t matter after ND lost to Marshall, but now it looks better as we approach the end of the season and ND has kind of turned it around. Penn State went to Auburn and won big, but Auburn ends up stinking this year. And so on and what not.

My question is: how do you schedule OOC games “that matter” if the game is only really going to be analyzed after most of the season has played out?

I personally would like to see “big” OOC games 1-2 years out (instead of scheduling home and homes for 2034-35). This would better ensure that big games were big games, even though it would still sometimes not work out.

 

[LTVol]

If you had complete control over which teams were going to be in the playoffs and who would be left out (teams that are still eligible that is…can’t have Tennessee play Alabama again or have Oregon play Georgia).

Why would you choose those matchups? Revenge? Tell national media to suck it? Better chance for vols to win it all?

1. UGA 13-0
4. TCU 13-0
Because I want to see Georgia stomp a hole in them

2. Ohio st/Meechigan (don’t care)
3. Tennessee
Want Huepel to score 45-28 over tOSU or 35-17 over wolves.

Tennessee vs UGA in LA very neutral field so we can have 10 days to prepare for our revenge game and win 28-27

I would eliminate all "releases" except for the final poll. Dont see any reason for these preliminary polls, other than to generate endless and useless debates and predictions. Just tell us who's getting in when the season's finished.

 

[JRich]

It will sort itself out at the end. It always does.

 

[LadyinOrange]

Make people quit posting about it until the final rankings are out. The conspiracy theories keep getting better (read:..worse)..

Nah. Let people post. Just don't read 'em if you don't want to.

 

[WillisWG]

Not schedule a Release Show between two basketball games.

 

[TennEddie]

I would remove “Conference Champion “ from having
any significance.

 

[A2K]

Think you are a very odd human if Tn is not in.....Thats not even speaking as a VOLS fan....

 

[vol445]
