Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted December 3, 2023 You have three undefeated conference champions in Washington, Florida State, and Michigan. Who do you pick for the fourth spot from the SEC? You HAVE to take the conference champion in Alabama, but Georgia is clearly one of the best in the land! Bulldogs could WIN a rematch! This is a Bad-or-Bad choice for the committee. Do they push an undefeated, and conference champion in Florida State, Washington or Michigan out for Georgia? Can't we make some last-minute arrangements to have an eight team playoff THIS year? Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirklandduck Moderator No. 3 Share Posted December 3, 2023 This is why I hate the 4 team format. It was always a begrudging half measure from the conferences and teams that wanted the best and only access to the top BCS bowl games. Personally I think it should have been an 8 team format from the beginning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBrooks No. 5 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Leave out conference champ Texas? Who beat Alabama. Maybe FSU becomes collateral damage? What a FUBAR!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck No. 6 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Fortunately we aren't on the edge of our seats as the committee would have undoubtedly left us out this season if we had won against the dawgs, my spin. I feel fortunate I don't really care, and just hope our Ducks can play a complete game against whatever opponent we have. Agree the committee is going to piss off some program and I am glad it won't be Oregon, again. I do wonder how the committee picks FSU's three field goals and a touchdown kind of output against the seven touchdowns Texas put up. Watching FSU in a playoff bowl game would be like watching some of the duals in the Coliseum during Roman times, it wouldn't end well. Georgia and tosu have to be a better pick than FSU, and certainly Texas deserves the nod. I just don't think FSU showed they are elite with their schedule, much like Oregon would have looked, problem FSU is undefeated, what a quandary, tough decision. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 7 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Most sites are projecting Texas for the final spot. The committee has been consistent with Texas if anything. However, I could see them pulling a final hour coup and deciding that Bama had the more impressive loss than Texas…even though their loss was to Texas.

cartm25 No. 8 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think it should be: Michigan Washington Texas Florida State I understand the “4 best teams” argument, but the CFP committee has also added in a criteria of teams that have earned/deserved it. Not sure how you keep an undefeated P5 conference champion out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittDuck No. 10 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I lean toward Michigan Washington Florida State Texas Texas is annihilating their opponents, they beat Alabama (in Bama’s house), Bama beat Georgia. However, I would not be surprised to see 2 SEC teams get slots 3 and 4. SEC bias being what it is… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
