We get it man, you want more Alabama and South Carolina.

Or BYU who should have been in

 

[Clone1992]

It’s also logical for an Iowa St fan to be against outcomes that are not good for the Big 12 and Iowa St

Jesus, it's not about cheering for the blue bloods, but giving unearned advantages to lesser teams is dumb.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

Terrell Owens also, UT Chattanooga. Antonio Brown, Central Michigan (he was actually really good before CTE)

CMU actually had the number 1 draft pick years ago, fisher I think, OL

 

[Clone1992]

Three of them had the option of winning their conference.

The other could join one.

I think they all could have won the Mountain West pretty handily.

Penning from UNI recently (also OL)

BYU who couldn’t even make their conference championship game? This won’t make the old guy yelling about unearned advantages for lesser teams happy.

I'm not a front runner fan, but Holy **** I get Ohio St, Penn St, Notre Dame and Texas thinking "Are you effing kidding me that Boise freaking State got a first round bye".

As Yormark has said, “we’re open for business.” If they really think another conference is that much easier a path, well “Team A, come on down. You are the next contestant in the Big 12.” If you look at the losses those “Fromt runners” took, they probably would have happed in the Big 12 too. Hell, Norte Dame already lost to a ****** G5 team, but everyone keeps forgetting that for some reason.

Yeah I think the Chiefs took him.

Maybe. I bet the MWC would listen if their ADs wanted to talk. That’s an option.

They will just have to play for the res

Let's do that then. Conference Champs only in the playoffs. Maybe include the MVC champ and Ohio Valley champ and maybe Wartburg as they have a punchers chance. Sounds perfect.

You sundowning?

They should have been in over SMU imo, but at the very least should have more seriously in the at-large conversation.

People in this thread saw SMU’s logo pop up and screamed “it should have been Alabama!!”

This is a pretty scrawny strawman.

The current system allots byes to the top 4 rated conference champions and a spot for the fifth.

The comitttee was free to rate Clemson above BSU. That would have been odd given their resumes.

The highest rated teams that couldn’t win their conference got ******* home games in the first round.

What bothers you so much about this system?

Don’t suppose he takes 3(?) hours a day out for weights and practice.

Just 4 hours a day for work.

So you think that Texas or Ohio St or Notre Dame or Penn St wouldn't win the Big West this year pretty easily? Honest question. We lost to a G5 team in 2020. Pretty good season overall anyway.

How long are you going to meltdown?

If they had they wouldn’t be in the CFP. But they are in the CFP and all of them got home field advantage in the first round.

Personally I think they were better off not being in the Big West.

And his daughter's boyfriend likely isn't on the football team.

Nope just has a job also. Do football players get college credits for football like they did when I was in college?
