For future reference. The SEC and Big 12 have an agreement with the Sugar Bowl to have teams from their conference in the game if it is NOT one of the playoff games. Ergo, UCF CANNOT play in the Sugar Bowl this season.

What's the shake up? Most of us have the CFB correctly.

I'm assuming most of the entries were the same so not hard to go from tons to zero

The 1 seed Bama is closer to the Cotton Bowl than Orange Bowl and that was part of the reward of being the 1 seed, proximity to the 1 seed. I guess they didn't want Oklahoma having home field advantage over the 1 seed Bama. All the other years the 1 seed played closest to the host stadium. I detect some hanky panky.

Not hanky panky, you are exactly right, Alabama did not want to give Oklahoma a virtual home game.

To clarify, it was Alabama that chose Orange Bowl once they learned Oklahoma was opponent.

That seems to be changing the rules in midstream. Most of us were going by the number 1 seeds game first then everything else falls into place. Until it doesn't fall into place.

Saban isn't a fool .
Both teams travel well but , if in Dallas , Bama probably would've been at a disadvantage , if Miami , much different and reduces probably some Sooner fans traveling .

When I entered the contest I thought...why would Alabama want to play in dallas? By then, I couldn’t edit it

No rules were broken though, Bama probably told committee beforehand that it would go to Cotton Bowl unless opponent was Oklahoma or Texas. The shame is I did not have the foresight to see that beforehand.

BigdaddyQH · 12-02-18, 01:36 PM

So what the vast majority of the people in here have is the correct teams playing against each other but in different bowls. The obvious argument is that people picked the correct teams to face each other, and the stadiums should not matter because Alabama IS facing OU and Clemson IS facing the Irish. It is up to SBR Drew to make a decision.

yisman · 12-02-18, 01:54 PM

Is this a new rule in college? I thought the playoffs were fixed in the past in terms of what bowl the #1 got.

I did not realize Alabama could choose.

Nope, rules are clear. Must match team with bowl.

#1 seed has had the choice since the inception of 4-team playoff (choice of the two semifinal bowls that is, not any bowl lol)
