Georgia should maybe have worried less about whether Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie deserved.a playoff spot and more about Texas.

One of the authors I have been reading lately had one of his characters say several times..."I rarely get in trouble by not saying something."

How appropriate that my dissenting comment on that quote comes from the very walls of Troy itself.

" Based on five years of CFP history the system is working perfectly".

Quite a statement from one who swore over dead bodies there would never be a playoff system in college D1 football.

Only Ohio State has proven me wrong. Oh the irony!
LOL!

Congrats, Jim, it takes a Jumbo-Man to admit he was wrong. Even if it took 5 years for you to realize it.

Are you being held against your will in Turkey?
Whatever happens don’t meet with the Saudis!

High TV ratings for the Rose and Sugar Bowls in non-playoff year.
Playoff expansion talk growing weaker.

Personally I'm okay with the four team playoff. It allows me to speculate on and opine the picks. But just because one, or fifty, articles say expansion is dead in the water, it doesn't mean it is gospel.

Shoulda played the game in Atlanta.

Also watch the video though.

The top seven defenses since 2005 are either Bama or Clemson. Who says defense doesn't win championships? ;-) 2011, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.

And I think Fla. St. may have had the Top defense in 2013.

Should have brought that up in 2015 when Santa Clara was selected.

Of course, now it all makes sense.

The idea that the people who decide on the championship game sites make the.decision about 6 years in advance.and have no clue what teams will be in the game seems to have floated past the reach of the damaged syphlitic brains of some people, as well as some of us with functioning brains. They are playing the game in different sections of the country over the next five years, including Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and some LAish area that doesn't even have a stadium right now. Obviously, good weather or an indoor stadium are restrictions, though watching Alabama or Clemson play in First Energy Stadium in January would please me no end. But having the game in different parts of the country is a goal.

The poor-boy 5 would like the chance to dance, but they don't have the clout to purchase a new dress for the occasion.  The PAC-12 is feeling isolated, but what can they expect tieing themselves to the Big Whatever for the NoseBowl.
I just wish the playoff committee was honest; for some reason I dislike educational organizations not being truthful. (Yes, Jim, the C in NCAA has something to do with colleges)

The number of "coaches" that the top schools can afford is not conducive to the myth of parity
In college athletics.  (The other side is that the coaching fraternity is a family affair with nephews,
Brothers and in-laws having positions custom-made that skirt the NCAA limits)
[One new coaching position is uniform coordinator:  they are responsible for ensuring that no uniform is worn twice in one season and to coordinate the uniforms with what they want the fans to wear for the game and which sections will alternate colors to please the TV people.
This position starts at $150,000]

The Big 10 I don't think is all that happy with the current configuration either, probably the Big 12 too. At least as far as the rules go. Rather than push for more teams the BIG 10, Big 12, and PAC might all three push for guaranteed berths for Conference Champions. They may not, but the possibility certainly exists.
And while the guy writing the article might be right that expansion is off the table for the moment.(He could be wrong too) I'm sure there will be some offseason jockeying going on that mat of may not manifest itself in some sort of rules tweeking. Or they may just all play Parcheesi and Mahjong and eat finger sandwiches.
