    Add more teams to the playoff???
    Are you fricken kidding me???
    There aren't 4 good teams in the whole country!!!!
    Okla, Georgia, OSU and ND are all slightly above average teams
    I don't even know how good Clemson is, but at least them and Bama took care of business
    Please stop

    Kirby Smart isn’t smart.

    “We’re the last team Bama wants to play!”

    Why is that Kirby? They beat Georgia every time they play.

    If you look at the top 6, over the last five years the following teams have beaten Bama.

    OU
    Ohio State
    Clemson

    Georgia isn’t on that list. No one is scared of Georgia.

    Last time I say it. Damn right uga better than ND and prob sooners too (more debatable tho) but they just had their shot. We don’t need more teams in playoff cause we just had 1st playoff game yesterday and uga got bounced.

    That's exactly the point. If Georgia is better than Oklahoma, but less deserving based on more losses, why doesn't that same logic also apply to UCF?

Might end up the same as we got now but who knows. Give UCF a shot - they can put up or shut up! We have 5 major conferences plus ND but only 4 spots? Add one round of playoffs - Top 4 seeds get home field or use bowls. D2 and D3 have 32 teams in the playoffs - Why is 8 such a pipe dream?

    He's a fukkin joke
    2 years in a row they have their destiny in their hands with a double digit 2nd half lead and swallow their tongues both times
    Epic collapses at crunch time along with horrendous coaching decisions is what Kirby is about
    Nice fake punt call


    He needs to shut the fukk up
    Nothing worse than someone who can't take care of business and then blames others for not achieving something

    It no pipe dream and I’m sure after current contract up you will prob get it. I just happen to be one of few that thinks more isn’t better and have no interest in seeing the ucf’s or Michigan’s of the world allowed into the playoff.

    UCF doesn’t deserve to be in.

    When your SOS is 85 and your best win is struggling to beat Memphis, a team that lost like 60-30 to Mizzou, you don't have a case.

    If UAB goes undefeated and wins Conference USA do they deserve to play Bama in the playoff?

    I realize that game has nothing to do with this game. I’m just saying that Saban has struggled with Offenses like this in the past.

    I’m not predicting OU to win, but I would give OU more than a puncher’s chance in this game.

    If Bama goes right down the field and scores, OU won’t care. They’re used to that.

    If OU starts lighting up the scoreboard and Bama has to keep up, it won’t be comfortable for Bama. That’s when OU’s Bad defense starts forcing turnovers. I hope that’s what happens.

    This will be far be the best offense Bama has faced all year. They aren’t playing an LSU team that try’s to pound the ball for 2-3 yards every down. OU will apply pressure all over the field.
    I remember that game vividly and the unveiling for bama fans of trevor knight. was prob his best game of career as a frosh that game no game after was as good I dont think. youre right bama has problems with qbs who can pass with high powered offenses its not so much as people say a mobile qb bama has problems with everybody has problems with mobile qbs who can pass and run but its the high powered offenses. the clemsons and watson, ole miss gave them problems and beat them twice. after that ou game saban went and hired kiffin 7 days later. Ill raise off me saying 3+ td win for bama earlier today that was me just talking moreso of the team who should get more stops and I dont see ou stopping bama too much on offense if tua is clicking and ou will score but if team A is able to get more stops than team b then team a should come out ok, I give ou a puncher's chance too because just like that ou game 4 years ago bama was shocked at the things they saw so ou's coaches could just dial up the perfect gameplan never know

    Your last line is perfect. Your opinion doesn't matter. Mine is different and doesn't matter either

    Btw folks, in the 18 year bcs era, only one 2 loss team ever made the title game (07 ohio state) and Zero 2 loss teams have made the playoffs these first five years.

    Georgia, sit down. Sit down I say !!

    You’re probably right.

    With that said we already know Bama is better than Georgia so I see no need for Bama to have to beat them again.

    FWIW I’d think OU would have a chance on the other side of the bracket. Alabama’s track record in games where they have a month to prepare is a big mountain to climb. They also get rested up. Like if the two played this weekend, who knows what would happen

    No... I really don’t have a problem with the committee selection, and I’m a Georgia homer. We had our chance and blew it. I don’t want to hear its about the 4 best teams tho. UGA is one of the 4 best teams. Anyone who’s been paying attention can see that.

    I disagree
    How can you say Georgia is better than those other teams??
    Because they played Bama tough???
    An eye test???
    Because they would be favored in Vegas??

    That's not the way sports work

    They had an epic collapse in their CC game and lost 2 games
    That does not equal a team who is obviously in the top 4

    This year it is obvious who 1 and 2 are
    It isn't always like that
    If there are not 2 clear cut top teams then the byes could create even more controversy

    exactly. why have a big 5 and only 4 can get in. it allows for all conference champs, if they are good enough, and one outsider. and more importantly to them, everyone gets their money. the argument would still ensue over the 6 spot. but if you're considered the 7th best team in the country, you ain't winning it anyway.

    well if you are 3 and complain about having to beat a 6 seed, they should shut up already.

    Anytime there is subjectivity, there is no "right". Someone is always going to be pissed and feel they got screwed. I like the idea of an expanded system to 8 teams or 6 with 1 & 2 having a bye (but be prepared for more fights so maybe just 8 teams is best). It's not like there isn't time to have another round of games. Plus, more games = more $$ so why not?

    Keep in mind even in the NFL when it's just record based, do you really think the best team wins the Superbowl every year? I'd say not as often as the best team wins in NBA, MLB or NHL. You just can't play enough games of football in a short enough time to get the true best team. Someone gets hot, something crazy happens and they win. Do we all really think PHI Eagles were the best team in the NFL last year? They were the best on Superbowl Sunday but it's hard to say they were better than some of the other power houses.

    Sooners would not have lost by 20 at LSU. Cfp poll, ap, USA today, all these polls have sooners #4 yet so many of u seem to think youre right and everyone else is wrong. This has become comical
