I hate Miami. I hate uva. I hate unc.

but above all else, I hate the E$ECPN narrative machine. I wasn't rooting for Miami, necessarily. I was rooting against the $EC. And I'm rooting for Indiana to win it all.

I guess I'm showing my age but I can't wrap my head around so many here rooting for Miami. I don't hate them as much as I used to because we've sucked so long there's not much of a rivalry anymore but they've always been top of my hate list followed by UVA and WVU. Watching Cristobal and the UM players the last couple games though has started to bring back that hatred and have to say I'm enjoying it.

... Boise St.? Any specific reason or just still salty from the game in '10?

the problem with that is there are, what, 9 conferences now? P4 plus G5? In order to make a playoff work you'd have to have non-conference teams get into wildcard spots and I think that defeats the purpose.

Alternatively, you could force the P4 to go back to 5 leagues and then have a 10 team playoff where the bottom 4 teams compete in play-in games for an 8 team playoff and then go from there. So the committee would still have to arrange the seeding based on *bullshit* but each conference would then have a seat at the table, sorta. The bottom 4 play an extra game. Then for quality, you pit #1 vs #4, #2 vs #3, #5 vs #8 and #6 vs #7 in the first full round. Next round would be winner of the 1v4 against winner of the 5v8 and winner of the 2v3 against winner of the 6v7.

Had it been structured this way to begin with the PAC wouldn't have imploded. The SEC and B1G likely wouldn't have pillaged the other leagues and the ACC wouldn't have expanded either. Each league would still have reasonably sized conferences where they could structure conference schedules to determine a true conference champion. ND would either have to join a league or kick rocks (along with the other independents). And the G5 would get Cinderella teams into the playoff. In all likelihood, the P5 conferences would still win a vast majority of the titles but it would still retain a lot of the luster that made college football fun to begin with.

i'd prefer all conference champions instead of making up reasons why some should be involved and others shouldn't. From there, let them settle it on the field

i hate miami with a passion second only to my hatred for loluva, but i agree and i'm rooting for them in this cfp. Only because i hate the propaganda machine that is e$pn and $ec.
so i guess actually my hate/despise/loathing is 3 tiers:
tier 1: loluva
tier 2: e$pn/$ec (not necessarily individual teams but the conference and narrative as a whole)
tier 3: miami, ohio state, notre lame, boise st

That has more to do with the seeding though. Vegas favorites have a winning record.

It also helps if your university owns a hospital that had a $400m windfall from a pandemic, and your university literally doesn't know what to do with that money so they just give it to the football team.

Alabama didn't deserve to be in the playoffs because they aren't a good football team right now. Their only win against a ranked team was early in the season, and they played them again and got destroyed. They lost to a 5 win team. If they weren't in the SEC there wouldn't be a discussion. The fact that the SEC had 5 teams in and all are watching from home now tells you what you need to know. If you need further evidence look at their bowl record. didn't win their conference.

FTFY

A lot of problems in CFB would be solved if the playoff had been set up properly from the get go, but it wasn't so here we are.

It should have been 4 teams, conference champions only, committee picks the 4 conference champions based on *gestures wildly at cfb* bullshit they make up. So be it. Win your league, get a shot. Get picked, win the games to get crowned. Done.

I don't know what smooth brained means and don't care to google it.

at your service!

Lissencephaly, which literally means "smooth brain," is a rare, gene-linked brain malformation characterized by the absence of normal convolutions (folds) in the cerebral cortex and an abnormally small head (microcephaly).

What companies are you working at? I've been in B2B SaaS for over a decade now (all ventured backed pre-ipo, save for public) and I've never heard of any of these titles lol.

As much as I hate it, Miami is doing great things for the ACC and VT.

In the current era, if you evaluate talent and have lots of $$$$, you can buy, I mean, build a winning program!

Watkins bat signal up 48 minutes ago so time for everyone to F5

In fairness to your fairness I haven't watched it either. Only reason I am familiar is Dear Wifey.

I simply used the opportunity to express my hope for a true run stopping linebacker. Someday.

I'm not pulling for the B1G, more rooting against the team I hate the most. Miami makes me see red and I'm not entirely sure how it got to this point, but I would be more angry about them winning than satisfied about them losing. I dont give 2 leg shakes about conference pride when it comes to them.

Yes, but the $ec is so dang tough because they play each other week in and week out and it's hard to sustain against all the top teams in the country.

And yes, there are far too many teams in all the "top" conferences.
