If I'm Notre Dame, I'm going super nova at not being included watching Tulane and James Madison, two teams they would have SMOKED.

You have to get rid of automatic qualifiers for lower conference winners. That's just the bottom line if CFB really want the 12 best teams competing for the championship. You can be a lower conference winner, but if you aren't even ranked in the top 15 teams at seasons end, then you don't qualify. James Madison finished ranked 21st. I get that they don't want to eliminate the "little guy" from competing, but if that's the case then the little guys needs to start scheduling more out of conference big games during the season to be graded on. James Madison lost handily to the only real big team they faced in Louisville, yet because they won theor conference they got a spot in the big dance!? Total bullshit and I hope the backlash over all this causes some changes.

Yeah and all the talking heads who have been pissing and moaning about what a tragedy it was that ND declined their bowl invite to the Pop Tart bowl can suck it. Notre Dame did the right thing and the results of yesterday proved it. They can shove the Pop Tart Bowl up their asses.

If only ND had any of the four above on their 2025 schedule. You know, so it could be decided on the field and not decided by a ‘memorandum of understanding’, LMAO.

Certainly Oklahoma or Bama, and I would have liked our chances in a rematch against Miami or A&M. Oh well. On to next year

Speaking of next year…. You seem to be ‘dialed in’ to Irish fb.

There’s this ‘memorandum of understanding’ that has apparently been agreed to between ND/CFB playoff commissioners

Unique agreement.

Thoughts?

Yes if ND finishes in the top 12, they'd be guaranteed a playoff spot starting next year. I would think everybody would be good with that as it saves us from watching the the Tulane's, James Madison's and other sacrificial lambs of the world get slaughtered in the first round. The "memorandum of understanding" is better than having some team from the Sun Belt getting an automatic bid. We saw the results of that

I'm not sure how to fairly weigh the power conference teams higher than the good teams from weaker conferences without unfairly disqualifying strong teams from those weaker conferences, but im sure there is a better option than what gave us this years mess.

What college football is needs is some kind of post-season selection system that created four or five bowl game match-ups involving eight or ten of the top ranked teams in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of American college football, including an opportunity for the top two teams to compete in a national championship game.

It should rely on a combination of polls and computer selection methods to determine relative team rankings, and to narrow the field to two teams to play in the BCS National Championship Game, held after the other college bowl games.

12 team playoff is absolutely STUPID. FCS (I am a Northern Iowa grad) played a 16 team playoff from 1986-2009. In 2010 they went to a 20 team playoff format and IT WORKS. FBS should AT LEAST be a 16 team format if you are going to make Conference Champions an automatic bid. Just think, had this year had a 16 team format they would have almost NO controversy. Notre Dame, BYI, Vanderbilt, and either Texas or USC would have been in. Go to a 20 team format and you could include Virginia, Georgia Tech, Utah. If you are a team on the bubble at 20 teams then STFU at that point. It would BE easy to do, MORE $$$$ for everyone and would definitely HELP mid level programs. I cannot for the life of me see how or why a 20 team playoff would be a bad idea.
