I can honestly say that I have never cared for something so much that affects me so little as Wex apparently does for the playoff system or at least its semantics. Holy scheissing hell.

I wish they would kill all of the conference championship games and mandate a 10 game regular season with rivalry weekend the final week of the regular season. Then go to a 24 team playoff with 8 first round byes and 16 teams playing in round one. Kill all the bowls and just have the playoffs. That format would make the ncaa basketball tournament pale in comparison.

We didn't even win our conference championship! Alabama didn't either, but they played in the best conference and lost two games by a total of 4 points, one to the #6 team, and the other to (at the time) #10 LSU, both on road. We had all those close call wins against so-so teams, etc etc. It wouldn't have been that hard, right? But yet they had us as the #3 seed. Not even #4, where we would've had to play Georgia in the semi-final.

I don't understand why people are still taking this "Playoff" nonsense seriously. It's not something that's an institution, or a dispassionate weighing of fact, it's Reality TV, put on by Disney/ABC/ESPN.

Disney/ABC/ESPN controls what the outcome will be in all cases. They own the whole thing, and control all aspects of it. This silliness of "The Committee" is ridiculous: They do what they're told, and they get paid well to do so. What makes anyone think that a bunch of spares make decisions which will have massive ratings and advertising effects, with literally billions of dollars at stake? Those dopey weekly ratings presentations form the basis of ESPN content for the following week, with their paid lackeys flapping their gums all over their platforms with pre-set talking points. It's scripted. It's a joke.

Want to know who gets in? The Programs with the best name recognition/ratings potential. All other considerations are secondary at best. Money is king.

Nothing else matters.

SOOO, Rick Neuheisel on bagging on the CFP today. Pointed out how its about big brands. Also said Notre Dame should not be ranked above Miami.

I agree. If there is any team getting more screwed than Miami, I can’t think of it. The stupid ACC screwed them out of playing in a CCG, and likely they won’t make the playoff the way the system works.

The order of Big XII bowls in our pool: (The four former Pac 12 schools are in a separate bowl pool.)

Big 12 Bowls (Listed in Order of Selection)
Pool: Baylor, BYU, Cincinnati, UCF, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia.

The order of Big XII bowl eligible teams:

Texas Tech		8-1.8894-04-10-0W511-1.9177-04-10-0W5
BYU8-1.8894-04-10-0W311-1.9176-05-10-0W3

Kansas State5-4.5563-12-20-1W16-6.5004-22-30-1W1

Toss out the Arizonas and Utah since they're not in our pool. I'm going to assume Tech beats BYU again and only Tech makes the playoffs from the Big XII. Iowa State holds a tiebreaker over us. That means we're in line for the 4th bowl in our pool, which is the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
If BYU upsets Tech and they're both in the playoffs, then we bump up to the Texas Bowl in Houston.
That's how I read it. Go BYU!

It helps to have two teams with large alumni bases that haven't really been relevant in forever. There are tons of Tech fans here that have been waiting for this for, well, just about forever.

LOL.

Yeah, like there aren't any media blowhards out there that have seen and played just as much football as Rick Neuheisel that would disagree with him. I don't think he's seen or played an more than Kirk Herbstreit has but that hasn't kept people from claiming he's no authority on the game.
