True. This was a year where the pre-BCS system would have been most fitting, when all the polls have one consensus #1. No need for BCS or CFP. Other years may be different though.

That it was. The FCS playoffs turn out some great football games every year.

Just make it an SEC v B1G + ND event and be done with it.

Holy cow. Thought you were joking. Loading up on ASU, esp if I can find +14.5. Their RB will run all over tu.

Just needs to be the best 12 teams regardless of conference affiliation. The setup this year is a complete joke. Auto bids, auto byes, inept committee making decisions. Blow it up and try again.

Yep

And yesterday

This is just a money grab

Pathetic

6 teams is all we need

4 in quarterfinals
2 with bye
Semi fiesta
Finals

It's all awesome

Boise is 10.5 point dog vs Penn State
Arizona State is a 14 point dog vs Texas

Georgia/ND line is 1.5
Oregon/Ohio state line is 1

Two teams that deserved byes have tight lines and two teams that didn't deserve byes are massive underdogs.

Boise St.

BOISE ****ING STATE

in the playoffs, along with SMU scrubs.


Crazy times.

This is dumb. If anything this proves committees are terrible at picking teams and we need more teams to decide it in the field.

Also proves home field is very important.

The FCS has a (checks notes)… 24 team playoff. Huh why aren't people complaining on here that their regular season is useless. Also there are far more blowouts in the FCS. Go take a gander at their bracket. And despite this literally nobody is asking them to reduce the playoffs to four teams. Blowouts are important data points it tells you who is better than who and by how much. Committees are the problem because they are consistently clueless.

Because nobody cares about FCS

FCS is like the Special Olympics.

Does anyone watch their regular season? And does anyone watch the blowouts in the early rounds? I don't think you are making the point you think you are making.

Pointless cash grab. Should be half the teams. 1 and 2 get a bye. 3 and 6 play and 4 and 5 play. Piece of cake. More mid to high caliber teams for exhibition games.

If we'd have held course upon entering November and earned a home playoff game, I have to believe we would have smoked someone yesterday as well.

But I guess we just had too much success and decided we just couldn't have that.

Football fans do.

Must not be many football fans out there.

You must not have followed them. It was blowout after blowout until the semifinals.

The FCS games were on ABC yesterday while the FBS was on TNT. There's also a post on this thread criticizing the NCAA about yesterday when they have nothing to do with the CFP so you might be right about not many football fans.

Arizona State got a bye and is a 2 TD underdog next game.

Bravo, NCAA. Bravo.

Getting the bye is as it should be. They won their conference. A playoff of 8 SEC and Big 10 teams is not good for college football.

…were ****ing garbage.

Carry on.

These are the same garbage bowl games that people watched anyways before the "playoff" tag was added lol.

Make it 24 teams, get rid of conference auto byes and auto bids, which will allow more at large teams that are good. Top 8 teams regardless of conference or conference champs get first round byes.

Get rid of all other bowl games, you'll still have some blow outs in the first round (like you will in most garbage bowls) but the end result will be a true playoff / winner, without the committee ****ing things up

Oh you sweet summer child. We would have been the lone team to get skunked by the underdog to prove the validity of this playoff system

The playoff (jerkoff) committee nailed it.

I'm sure they firing up their cigars patting themselves on the back.
