We will see how long the rest of the country tolerates being left out of the playoffs while eight B10/SEC teams jerk each other off every year. The playoffs are going to absolutely suck for the B12 and ACC.

Its gonna suck.

Oh so you wouldn’t be insanely excited if ISU won a playoff game? Why are you even a fan then?
I think they might be looking at it like...
What if ISU finished 2nd in the BigXII, got left out of the CFP...but 2nd and 3rd place teams from the B1G and/or SEC got in...then that would suck.

My favorite scenario would be for all of the other non-B1G/SEC teams to break off and form their own organization in all sports and go back to more regional matchups. Don’t schedule the B1G and SEC schools in anything. Let the B1G and SEC play each other for a 32 or 34 team title.

See how long the have-nots in the B1G/SEC want to stay in that arrangement. Water down their playoffs and all of the other sports and put as much pressure as possible on the 8 or 10 power programs that drive everything. I think we would see them ask to go back to the historical conference arrangement with more even TV revenue share.

If the second and 3rd place teams got in there is still plenty of room for a second place ISU.

And again when you get in just win the games, clear path with the conference champions

Won’t suck if you win, also no one is currently left out
There’s no way I can talk sanity into you. If you cannot see the absolute inequality of this. It’s completely rigged. It’s been rigged since the preseason AP they set it up so all the Big Ten and SEC schools can beat up on each other and won’t lose one ******* rank that matter meanwhile the highest big 12 teams start outside the top 10 it’s ******* ********. Will get one team out of big 12 while ******** mediocre Big Ten teams that aren’t Ohio State or Michigan will get in with **** records. It’s ******* ridiculous and needs to go away. It’s worse than what we had before. Just win lol

Yes just win. You have more of a chance to get into a playoff than ever before. Win the Big12 and you’re in, no more Texas or OU. Most years the Big12 will get 2 teams in and if those teams start winning playoff games the narrative can slowly shift.

Yeah alot of years the 4th place team from the SEC or big ten will get it, it sucks and I’ve never said differently

Or even worse, the 4th or 5th place teams from the SEC or B1G like many are predicting this year.

No way in hell that should be the case, but they Bias for those 2 conferences is off the charts, so thats what we will get.

Bet you whatever you want on a we will donation that you are 100% wrong here. Name the price
Just wait until November when a bunch of three loss Big Ten and SEC schools start leapfrogging one loss, big 12 and ACC schools and Notre Dame crawls just inside the top 12 to all qualify.
I don’t bet people on message boards give me a break.
