I know I’m late to the party but how do they not call target on ASU last drive in regulation
This is why people ******** about Indiana and SMU getting blown out was so incredibly stupid. Blowouts happen. Right now Oregon looks far worse than either of them. Does that mean they didn't deserve to be im the playoff?
I think they are playing an angry OSU team who is finally fully using their 20 million dollar talent
It makes sense though.
The CFP field was watered down with unearned, DEI bids and byes. The product suffers for lack of Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma, and USC.
The result is everybody loses.
So instead of putting more dollars in the hands of the value creators (money that will trickle down in the form of guarantee games, second tier bowl games, and interest in the sport), they are disincentivized.
We should be careful of biting the hand that feeds or they may choose to leave us behind rather than lift our little boats with their rising tide.

Indiana hasn't proven they belonged. Put their wins up against BYU's or ISU's.
On some level though they got to where they are because they avoided Ohio State a few weeks ago with OSU's loss to Michigan.
I know they said they didn't want to penalize teams for being in a championship game, but getting absolutely whacked like this would have had to have knocked them down.
Probably would have the follow on effect of knocking Boise down as well since their only resume was 'lost close to Oregon'.
Yeah the talent is unreal and if Howard isn’t falling apart they just look like a juggernaut.
I’m not sure what Oregon even says at halftime, play for pride I guess?
If some of their NFL latent said they were done I honestly would say it’s the right call
You know, the silver lining in ASUs loss is watching Texas probably getting boat raced by osu. Also I think having the Sugar Bowl delayed works against Georgia mentally. They saw a Big 12 team taking Texas to double OT and they will have 24 hours to think about it.
With this board and some of the irrational serious takes it can be hard to tell.

But the playoff becomes meaningless if you just put in the “big boys” of the B1G and SEC year after year. If they want a P2 playoff, they should just have a P2 playoff; schedule their entire seasons between themselves and some FCS teams, and just break away already.
I know that means the financial end of the ACC/Big 12/etc, but if we’re basically already just their well-paid butlers or whatever, I hardly see the point.
