This is exactly who I thought they were.
If ND gets drilled again by Bama and TA&M rolls their bowl game and Cinci drills UGA and Costal Carolina wins you might see momentum for a 8 team playoff. It only took 25 years to get a 4 team playoff. Maybe in another 20 we can have 8.
I would personally love to see it.
This was the PERFECT year to expand the playoff. With all the uncertainty and schedule insanity, why not? Disparities in amount of games played, strength of schedule, etc. So many teams should have gotten a shot. What did the establishment have to lose?
Basically I think it was a toss up between the 3…Gun to my head I would say ND/TAMU/Cincy in that order…Wouldn’t have argued with any of the 3
I don’t think we should have changed rules for OSU though.
If Cincy would have won impressively I would have given them the nod over ND/TAMU…AAC is not terrible and only conference that wasn’t awful this year top to bottom was ACC. SEC still has the most elite teams but it is top heavy and very weak after top 5.
It was a pretty good year for Sun Belt too if we are keeping track of conferences.
