Running CFB playoff thread

By my count, 24 days.

 

Call me cynical, but the conference title game loss all depends on the TV appeal/brand name of the teams involved.

Let’s hypothetical say Ohio State and Indiana finish with two losses (this obviously isn’t this season), but the Buckeyes win the tiebreaker and make the B1G championship game. Do you think OSU would be penalized for losing it? Hell no.

Switch the two teams around, with the Hoosiers getting into the conference championship and losing it … that’s when you get, “Well, Ohio State has only two losses and Indiana has three!” Buckeyes get the invite.

 

If you make the conference title game, lose and don't make the playoff, you must have a terrible record.

I'm not going to cry about someone being the 13th-team being left out. The fifth or sixth team getting left out was, in almost every case, someone that was going to challenge for the national title had they gotten in.
