So are the mods going to enforce those ugly avatars upon those posters that said that they would wear them if Bama got IN? ;)
Shouldn't say the words if you aren't going to live with the consequences. Can't think of many bets I would take with a barn avatar on the line.

Re: College Football Playoff Selection Show

This would be a great thing.

6 teams - The 5 power 5 conference champs and 1 at large team. Top 2 seeds get a bye and 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5.
8 teams - The 5 power 5 champs and 3 at large teams. 1 plays 8, 2 plays 7, 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5.
I disagree. With even six teams but especially eight teams, in most seasons you are going to be putting two and three loss teams on basically equal footing with undefeated and one loss teams for a shot at the National Championship.

When the dust settles, around 80% of the time you have no more than three teams who were really good enough to have a legitimate shot at winning the National Championship.

An entire year seems a bit harsh, although I understand who set the terms.

Consider this a plea for leniency :).

You mean like the NFL does every year? With teams that go 9-7 and have a shot at the Super Bowl?

Weird feeling this.

Kinda feel more like an outsider when we win it all or something like this goes our way because I wasn't born to it.

But I'm delighted for all of you, I have a list of usernames and mental pictures that Ive built up of a great many of you and I'm Iaughing at the reactions I'm imagining you're all having.

:D

Time to heal and enjoy Christmas, you, we, are in.

Semi Finals Baby!!!!

We're in. Now, if we can just develop a QB to not buckle and run at the first sign of pressure. And to not be skittish about throwing the ball to a receiver who is not wide open.... But maybe i'm being unfair if that's what he's being told to do. If that's the case, we've got bigger issues.
Can we just enjoy this for a few minutes before you start dogging the players? Please?

FIFY. If BAMA wins it all, be prepared to see a playoff expansion in the near to not-so-distant future.
If it ends up being a Bama versus Georgia NC game, you just might see an announcement within the month that the playoff will be expanding.
