Posted January 4Jan 4 Moderator The one thing everybody agrees with, except Coach Lanning, is that No.1 Oregon really got screwed by the CFP format. After being the crash test dummy, Oregon showed there were serious flaws that need to be addressed.

January 4Jan 4 Moderator There will be no change in the format before 2026. Why would the Mountain West and Pac-12 😧vote for change? Ditto the ACC and the B12 and the rest of the G5. Notre Dame may tacitly approve suggested changes. I'm certain the Domers do not want to tick off the Power 2. The Irish want to retain its Most Favored Nation status. ND had a Champ Game Bye week and watched OREGON (sigh) and Georgia get out of the way of the Irish. And what would be the response if the B1G and the SEC attempted to schedule four G5 games? Perhaps in 2025, OBD will have the good sense not to win the B1G champ game? Hell of a format. 🦨

It really is as blatant as that, and the big 12 didn't think there was any problem with the format, nor does the Mountain West. Penn State would probably be okay with a change, but it sure worked out okay for them, "hmm, lose to Ohio State during the season, lose to Oregon in the CCG, get the easiest route to the Natty possible."
January 5Jan 5 Moderator OMG! I agree with $Cam? Cam Newton stuns with awful take on Notre Dame's place in College Football Playoff FLYWAREAGLE.COM Cam Newton is one of the most dominant college football players of all time. He elevated Auburn in the 21st century to heights the program had never reached -- Play 13 games Irish, with 10 P4 teams on the schedule, or get lost. 🤪🥶💩

However, as much as I hate to admit it, Notre Dame looks like one of the best playoff teams along with Ohio State. And if you excluded ND and Indiana because of strength of schedule are 3 loss SEC teams (with losses to multiple .500 teams) really more deserving than a 11-1 team? I believe that strength of schedule should be used to break the tie of two teams with similar records, not justify teams with bad loses getting in. For the record, I’ll be rooting against ND in the semi-finals. Edited January 5Jan 5 by OregonDucks

I would put more emphasis on SoS. Alabama's loss to Oklahoma was bad, but Indiana got to 11-1 by playing teams like Oklahoma. "They did what they were supposed to do" Well, yeah.
