Anyone who had a decent defense.

Who were the better options?

Good job.

Great choices.

I said all along the Pac 12 Champ and Georgia should of been there instead.

[ans61201]

Anyone who had a decent defense.

Only way to do it is get rid of conferences (which will never happen)

Or the committee says, it’s all eye test, no qualifications to get in, 4 best teams.

With current rules and qualifications the correct 4 teams made it, although it’s clear 2 of them weren’t top 4.

[thechaoz]

Who were the better options?

Georgia, for one.

[Booya711]

Who were the better options?

Georgia and LSU or A&M or Auburn or Florida or Vandy or Tennessee....you get where I’m going here

[jjgold]

Who knows

Laker gets laid that is what we know about him

[Booya711]

Twice a week

[2daBank]

Georgia, for one.

Yea but as I’ve said you could not put them up against bama again, been a total joke if they got 2 cracks b2b at bama. Now I’d been ok putting them 3 vs Clemson and letting them earn another shot and putting osu 4 vs bama. Those would have been way tougher games to bet tho!!

[lakerboy]

Who were the better options?

Michigan

[ans61201]

Michigan

😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣

[MinnesotaFats]

Worst bowl season ever

the Pac 12 Champ

Some years maybe..... the last few? Not even close. The Pac-12 champ could have been any of about 8 teams. They all beat each other and none of them belong in the top 15. If WSU had won the Apple Cup they would have been fighting to be in the playoff. They barely beat Iowa St yesterday. Who? Yep, Iowa State..... I'd never heard of them either. Pac-12 has had some good teams and will again in the future but they don't belong anywhere near the playoff. And to explain my viewpoint, I'm a lifelong resident and fan of the Pac-12. We just aren't that good right now.

fwiw, I think the 4 teams were the best choice. I think Georgia is better than 3 of the teams in the playoff but having just lost to ALA I get it from a ratings perspective. I would have been okay with leaving ND out.

[Big Bear]

Who were the better options?

If we are going by talent and not style points

Ohio State
Georgia

[Big Bear]

Clemson still has not been tested.
Notre Dame is no better than Duke or Syracuse.

Notre Dame beat Syracuse 36-3.

I swear, people post the dumbest shit here. No wonder Vegas keeps building bigger resorts.

So?

Notre Dame is garbage bro. Clearly no better than a run of the mill ACC opponent. Point is Notre Dame got street credit for beating Michigan before Michigan hit their stride and didn’t accomplish a damn thing after that. Had Notre Dame played Michigan late in the season they would have got their shit pushed in.

That is true. I never thought Notre Dame was a top 4 team.

It’s...

1. Bama
2. Clemson

Gap

3. Georgia

Gap

4. OU/Ohio State

Notre Dame is still a good team. They’re just not elite like Clemson. Syracuse and Duke get killed by Bama and Clemson too.

I think ND would be able to hang with and possibly beat OU and Ohio State. They may be able to hang with Georgia. I say that only because they played them last year to a 1-point game and I think this ND team is better and that Georgia was damn good. But Alabama and Clemson are in a different class than everyone.

The right teams were chosen for the final 4. It's not always the "best 4". It's always been a combo of the "Best 4 + Most Deserving 4". Georgia is the one of the top 4, IMO, but they weren't deserving based on 2 losses and no conference title win.

This stupid notion of Ohio State is laughable. They lost to an unranked Purdue team by 30! And it's not like that loss came early in the season, either. They also should have lost to Penn State. That was a miracle win. And Penn State is not good. So let's put this Ohio State dream to bed. Remember last time we took a shot on them thinking they were a final 4 team they got rolled by Clemson, too, and they would get rolled again.

Notre Dame's reputation took a hit yesterday. It's going to definitely make the committee think twice about them a little more in the future based on their recent BCS/CFP results. Now they have somewhat a chance to redeem themselves next year when they play at Georgia, who will likely be a top-3 team. Win that game and they'll win some rep back.

travesty UGA wasnt in

[navyblue81]

travesty UGA wasnt in

No it wasn't. Listen, I think Georgia is one of the 3 best teams in college football. But I also think the Steelers are one of the 6 best teams in the AFC. Georgia had their chances. They got blown out by LSU on the national stage. That was their penalty for not playing yesterday. The loss to Bama was a great performance, but they needed to win that game or else. Like I said, it's always been a combo of Top 4 + Most Deserving 4 and the most deserving part was hurting Georgia. The cure for something like that is expanding the playoff to 6 or 8.

[Booya711]

travesty UGA wasnt in

And a travesty that ND was...Georgia beats ND by 24

Oklahoma actually competed against Alabama. I bet they wish they could get that 1stQ back..

[grease lightnin]

Face it Navyblue, you are a major Notre Dame homer, pal.

[firedawg]

Face it Navyblue, you a major Notre Dame homer, pal.

yeah the domers really showed

[reigle9]

every team gets smoked by the team that's won the recruiting title the last fukkin 15 years

jimmy's and the joes, it's not changing anytime soon

This except I don’t care what they did against LSU. they played a playoff game against Bama in SEC champ game. Great game - obviously better than these other playoff games - but they lost in neutral site in what they knew was a playoff game. ONLY way I could see them being in would be as someone said above - put them vs Clemson

[firedawg]

For the record
I think Clemson would of beat Georgia in a epic Game
