True interesting fact: 7 of 9 first round games have been decided by 17 points or more. I think it will soon be 8 of 10.

Another reason we don’t need more than 4 teams.

So you do not think the performance of OLotPT does not make a decent argument for including Georgia?

Of course not.

I seem to remember you mentioning something about the Big getting both Michigan and OSU in earlier this year.  Have you forgotten that?

There was a chance of that.  But the teams aren’t picked until all the games are played.
Regardless, that speculation has no connection to the expansion talk regarding the number
of playoff teams.

Wrong. It has everything to do with it. Your lack of vision again.

My speculation on 2  conference teams making the playoff was limited to a field of four.

At issue in college football is just how teams are getting such an edge.  Is Bama guilty of something ?

Futher evidence that College Football needs New Year’s Day to maximize TVRatings.

Fewer viewers this year because the games were played on December 29. (The Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl are ALWAYS played on New Years by contract meaning the semis only get NYD once every three years)
Next year the semis will be held on December 28.

Yeah.
Being good.

Yes, they are guilty of recruiting better than anyone else. After that if your are talking about recruiting violations none have come up in the last decade.

And I would think every supposed 'reporter' out there is looking under every rock. Either there is no violations or Nicky is damned good at hiding them.

Not in the context of Steve's question. If I understood it correctly.

Other than Alabama last year--how many 3 and 4 seeds have won?

How.soon we forget. OSU was a 4 in year one. Oregon was the 3.

Oregon didn't win the championship.  I guess I did forget about OSU.   Have to look at that year more closely I guess to distill my thesis...

At least part of it was probably that the games were not very good

And Lane Kiffin wearing a UM hat last night...

If Cristobal quits to accept the Miami position, there will be mass Seppuku in Eugene

Apples and Oranges.
Georgia, as the Committee took great pains to explain, was left out because it did not win a championship. The fact that Oklahoma and Georgia were considered practically equal in performance forced the Committee to use CGs as the tiebreaker.

Not apples and oranges in the context of the question.

Now, as to your recent comment above concerning Oklahoma, Georgia and the CG guideline.

That could lead one to realize that the committee's rules may not be entirely conducive to their stated goal of putting the four best teams in the lineup.

I thought you meant win in the 1st.round.

Whiskeypriest’s question was a response to my statement that the playoff should be limited to four teams. I restated that position. If you saw another context feel free to change the subject.

They haven’t failed yet.
