    Penn State isn’t fraudulent. They are the exact same team as ND. When they play it will be like the Alabama LSU championship…. Boring

    Georgia has played awful. Poor tackling, confused blocking assignments, etc. 

    And I have watched #7 take a poor angle and blow contain multiple times on the edges.

    Third (fourth?) best team in the B1G. They’re goodish but it would be a shame to see them in the title game.

    They would schlack Indiana, so 3rd   But I think it’s clear that the Big Ten in the best conference, not the top-heavy narrative Look at what Michigan and Illinois did in the bowls. And USC was 4-5 in league play but beats LSU and A&M.

    Yes it was.
    No doubt a week break was very useful.

    Interesting note under the current format. Even if ND was consensus number one, they can’t get a bye. I believe it to be true but someone check me.

    Is this because they don’t play in a conference?

    Of course my friends who went down to New Orleans for the game had to send me this.

    And pretty stupid. One of the things that should (and probably will) be tweaked.
    These conferences have hated Notre Dame's independent status for decades (once upon a time Penn St. and Pitt were also both independents and powerhouses) so they figure they can punish them by making the likes of Boise State and Arizona State get seeded higher as a result. Worked out well for them.
    This age of these super conferences is stupid.
    I mean as a result you have 16 teams in the "Big 12" and 18 teams in the "Big 10", plus you have Stanford and Cal with campuses one good earthquake away from falling into the Pacific Ocean in the Atlantic Coast Conference. And lest we forget the Pac 12 conference this year featured 2 whole teams. Shouldn't their conference champ have been given an invite to the CFP?
    It's ludicrous.

    From an economic perspective, the super conferences make perfect sense.  Think about the tv deal the Big Ten struck now that they have the NY, DC and LA markets.  

    I definitely think the seedings will be tweaked.  It wasn't just the byes that didn't make sense, but Oregon drawing OSU for their first game was bad setup too.  Although the Rose Bowl loved it.  I passionately think that if the NCAA is committed to rewarding teh conference championships (which they are), then you have to seed like the basketball tournament.  Winning your conference gets you in, but then you seed based on perceived strength of the team.

    I agree with Seeding based on strength of schedule.

    But, what about Reseeding?

    I like reseeding.  I'm not sure they will go that far but I would be for it.  Is it a tournament or playoffs?  Tournaments do not reseed, playoffs do.  Again, someone correct me.  Baseball, pro-football, basketball and hockey basically reseed.  Hockey has an asterisk because of the way their first rounds works.  NCAA basketball is a tournament so no reseed.  

    edit - what do you mean by seeding by SOS?  Are you saying that if Georgia had a stronger SOS than Oregon, they would be seeded higher even if Oregon was 12-0 and UGA 10-2?

    NFL is only one of the 4 majors that reseeds. NBA, NHL and MLB do not.
