When they got rid of the BCS they touted in the playoff any team that was FBS can make the championship. The make up of the committee should have the same % as P5 vs G5 . I am not sure they have 1 G5 member

UCF goes undefeated 2 years and doesn't even get ranked in the top 10.

Its all BS. I dont want to hear schedule. Most of your schedule is made up of your conference. Your non-conference is determined by who will play you.

You think anyone that will move the needle would even schedule UCF after 2 undefeated seasons.

So nobody not in a P5 conference will ever be invited to the playoff.
So about one half of the teams in FBS are playing for one New Years Day bowl.

Every other Division of football has a true playoff FCS, D2, D3, NAIA and High School and of course the NFL

They would rather just have the Alabama Invitational

Why do you G5 guys keep yammering about what UCF did *last year* when this is about the playoffs *this year*?

I mean, last year, the Houston Rockets had the best record in the NBA. Right now, they are off to a 1-5 start. Should they get to count last year's W-L record to boost their place in the conference standings this year? How dumb is that?

Worst of all, you folks never mention anyone else getting to invoke last year. If UCF gets to count last year's achievements towards this year's playoffs, then surely Georgia should get to count last year's SEC title and Rose Bowl win this year, and Ohio State should get to count last year's B1G title and Cotton Bowl win too right?

No, only UCF does.

LSU victory in same calendar year count? Then it would be a joke they're in front of Notre Dame. Otherwise I have to agree with the poll.

Notre Dame is in a position where they control their fate: If the Irish win out, they surely make the playoffs (and let's face it, it doesn't matter if you are #1 or #4, so long as you are in), and if they lose even one game, they won't.

My whole post was a joke. ND wins they are in, they lose they aren't. Last year means nothing.

The fact is if UCF runs the table they "may" have a slim chance to make (Need every major "conference" team to have 2 losses.) the playoff. They're not in a horrible position.

The G-5 needs to hope ND runs the table and we get left out, then the G-5 would have an ally in expanding the playoff.

The committee was just doing Notre Dame a favor since no #3 team in the initial rankings has ever made the playoffs. Kiss of death for LSU.

If UL Lafayette were undefeated right now, they'd probably be in the playoff picture.

There is a zero % chance of that happening. If Notre Dame finishes unbeaten, they are 100% certain to make the playoffs. Or as certain as anyone else is.

Definitely, we were #3 in the first one last year I believe. I blocked that season out partially.

Oh I agree, just saying the G-5 schools should hope for that result. I still believe we lose two games though. BK is still our coach.

Simple solution for the G5, don't take the CFP money in the next deal. It was not like the conferences did not know what they working making a deal with devil. As I stated many times, CFP learned from the mistakes of the BCS. All conferences walked into the spider web willingly.

In fairness to BK, there isn't an easy game left on ND's schedule. Northwestern is #42 in the Massey ratings, that puts them just behind Wisconsin and ahead of USF. Syracuse is ranked in the CFP, and USC and FSU, while really down, have a puncher's chance because of their plentiful NFL talent. On a given night if they gel, they are trouble.

I'm never fair to BK

We should on paper win all of them, but FSU, Northwestern and now Cuse scare me. USC is always a toss up.

First off is it you g4 guys, because I'll swear that when it fits your argument it's "I'm a USF fan ". Secondly the only way you have a p5 vs g5 is because of past performance. CFP is only major sport that's ran like the a dog and pony show. Every other sport is based competition where the the little guy will eventually become the big guy or at least have a chance to lose. College football will regret the moment it decided to be WWE where the ending is predetermined. Whew ,,,, lol

John Feinstein basically exposes the BS of the Selection Committee and does a mike drop on this topic in an article posted yesterday....plus its kinda funny...

The Committe has a 4-3 team in the top 25. I mean---how does that even happen? lol....With only 4 wins they may not even make a bowl (well, they probably will with Kansas and an FCS still on the schedule). Yet---the Committee has multiple 7 and 8 win one-loss teams unranked. I mean----C'mon---a little common sense please. That team is not a viable top 25 team and wont be there at seasons end. Its just dumb to have them there.

Correct.

A G5 can make the playoff. They just have to beat 2 or 3 ranked teams, with one of them preferably a Top 2 or 3 ranked team, and run the table.

Not likely, but it could happen, and probably will one day.

Its like CFB is back to the 80's where its no longer about great years or great coaches but 800 pound dinosaurs as the brand for the sport.

Its become uninspiring to most of the country.

Houston beat 3 ranked teams in 2015---were not even close to making the top 10 (I think we were at 18). A G5 has zero chance. It is what it is.
