this is a mess. Great champ game but that's about it. Alab v Utah WTF? How about tex v al? Or Texas tech vs USC? That would be a great game. Instead the 3,4,5 and 7 teams are playing fvck-alls as 9 point favorites or more. Might as well go playoffs cause we can't get the best matchups with this feeble system.

If you went to an 8-team playoff John, who would you chunk? Do you toss the ACC and Big East Champs or do you tell teams like Texas and Alabama sorry, you're not invited?
