Yea, Clemson choked late.

Clemson had his forward progress stopped for an entire second. Blow the damn whistle

How do you not call that PI. Refs are ruining football

The sarcastic SEC chant must continue. Don’t let ESPN cut away from it

Maybe we should just do eight teams.

Eh, in the 4 team CFP 67% of games were 2+ score games. Blowouts are just more of a thing in college football.

Disappointing first round. Hopefully the quarterfinals are more competitive.

12 is fine but they need to get rid of power 4 conference champ gets automatic top 4 seed and there should be home games through the quarterfinals. Arizona State and Boise State should have had to play this weekend and Oregon should not have to play Ohio State as their "reward" for getting the top seed.

20 of 30 games in the 4 team CFP were decided by double digits.

Nah, conference champs should absolutely get rewarded. Just reseed after R1 so Texas doesnt get rewarded for losing their conference championship game. If you want a bye then win your conference

They're rewarded by making it. They should not be rewarded by getting a guaranteed QF spot over better teams.

They absolutely should. To win your conference you have to win an extra game during the season, winning that extra conference championship game should guarentee you having to play 1 less playoff game. If the conference championships didn't guarantee a bye then there would have been no reason for Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Penn St etc to try during the conference title games and Notre Dame would get a bonus for not being in a conference

You could also end up getting like a 9-5 team getting a bye. Reseeding doesn't work either because reseeding this year would still have Oregon playing Ohio State.

Boise St was ranked 9 & Arizona St was 11. If you reseeded you'd have

1. Oregon vs 11. Arizona St
2. Georgia vs 9. Boise St
3. Texas vs 6. Ohio St
4. Penn St vs 5. Notre Dame

That's re-ranking. Reseeding would be taking the seed they were given and moving them. Like if Indiana beat Notre Dame they would be playing Oregon. That's reseeding. What you're doing is basically what I'm saying should happen at bare minimum.
