Anybody else note that 3 of the 4 top seeds have lost and if Notre Dame beats Georgia it's 4 out of 4? Maybe the extra off week isn't such a good thing.

I completely agree but how is this any different than before?
You guys all act like this is some new thing, but by my counts, 29 out of 40 participants in the 4 team version since 2014 are current Big 10 or SEC schools.
If anything this new playoff gives the Big 12, ACC, G5 even more opportunity, the question will be can any of them actually win a game or two.
The thought that any conference must receive a minimum number of automatic bids to a national championship tournament is entirely new. The audacity of the Big 10 and SEC to demand this is the absolute height of arrogance.
Refs got bailed out for
Sure, if you’re going to use revisionist history to get your numbers. If those PAC and Big12 teams were in their current conference, would they have gotten the bids or would they have gone to another team in that conference? Hard to know for sure. The 4 team playoff was skewed to the SEC, but not this overtly.
There certainly is more opportunity in the current format. But all we’ve heard this year is the media arguing those opportunities should go away with the conference champion bye. If that is removed, there is no opportunity left for the Big12, ACC, and G5. They’ll be selected to travel to face an SEC or Big10 team with little chance to win a road game. And there will be no opportunity for those conferences to develop national names.

There was no flag thrown on the non targeting call against Texas.
Can’t, it wasn’t called on the field. Was targeting called on the field?
Yes
I know it can’t be reviewed.
And yes I know Targeting is a booth initiated review. Regardless if a flag is thrown or not.
The context of my post is from prior conversations.
This is why ND was fine with no shot at the bye. They also don’t have a conference championship to worry about, so this way they don’t have a huge gap between games.
Not Targeting???
That absolutely changed the game.
Texas won because the network fix was in.
ASU, you guys got screwed with your pants on.
It's what happens when you play Texas

Really calls into question whether the Big 12 actually belongs in the CFP. If you lose a game in double OT you have no business being in the CFP. /sarc/
Screwed with pants on sounds like sexual assault. Baylor people don’t seem to have issues with that.
It’s cool that Texas gets its “chance” to be that blown targeting call before their 4th and 13 conversion.
What a charmed life.
We’ll never be as good as the big ten champ who was immediately down by 30. Now that’s a bye worthy powerhouse.
We should have gotten 9/10 or 10/10 teams the past decade per SEC football logic. That’s how many we usually had in top 68.
Don’t know how revenue sharing will affect teams like Texas and Ohio State, but if they are still able to build $50-$60 million rosters, that’s going to create a lot of have nots in the SEC and Big 10. I actually hope that happens. I am seeing a lot of grumbling from Tennessee fans who feel they can’t compete with that. Will Bama be able to compete with Texas money? Ole Miss already has said they won’t be able to meet the revenue sharing target. That’s kinda surprising to me. No way Iowa can compete with that.
Yes. I know.
And I said I know.
And I said in general ALL TARGETING CALLS ARE BOOTH INITIATED REVIEWS,
Not sure of your reason to interject.
You’re an angry little elf.
Not angry. Thought this was a discussion thread. Didn’t know you think people should only engage you when you ask a question of them. I will remember that.
You took my post out of context and I clarified and you still misunderstood and misquoted me.
Carry on.
