The committee just couldn't get out of their own way and put Alabama in the CFP. Everyone saw it coming after last night but what an absolute sham.
Every Florida State player who is going pro after this year won't play in their Bowl game. Why would they?
What a joke to keep them out of it.
I'd love to see Georgia and Fl. State players not sit out then watch Georgia kill them.
In the era of Name Image and Likeness (NIL), bowl games have become unwatchable. The kids at high-profile schools have already had a taste of big money, and they aren't going to jeopardize their future on a money grab for the school.
Shedeur Sanders's NIL value currently sits at $4.8-million.
Arch Manning doesn't even start at Texas and his is worth $2.8-million.
I say adopt a 3 tier system.
1. Power 5 conferences
2. Every other FBS team. Have a 16-24 team playoff like the FCS has.
3. FCS
So Oklahoma and Texas are joining the SEC? That's crazy.
Two tiers:
1. SEC
2. Others
The top conference in college football this season was the Pac 12. The top four programs are all going to the Big Ten.
SEC still better.
Washington and Oregon obviously very good. But Alabama, Georgia, Miss. State could beat them at a neutral site.
The SEC was way down this season. It's still a great conference, but the star-power wasn't there in 2023.
Outside of Jayden Daniels, the quarterbacks were awful. The Pac 12 could have three quarterbacks drafted in the top-10 of the draft.
Pac12 definitely has the best QBs. Most defenses were below average.
It's nice to see a Championship game without the SEC in it. Next year will be better with the expanded playoffs.
It's a chicken or an egg thing. A lot of the defenses in the Pac 12 look bad because the quarterbacks are great.
Many people are unaware, but the Pac 12 was very competitive with the SEC during the BCS era. If you only listened to the hype coming from ESPN or lazy journalists, you would have thought the SEC trounced the Pac 12 in head-to-head competition. However, over the 10 years of the BCS the SEC held a 1-or-2 game advantage over the Pac 12 in head-to-head competition. It was very close. The hype machine created by the SEC was off the charts. Nobody shouted louder and created more first round draft picks. But when the two conferences played, it was very close.
