The Committee will stick ND at 9 because Eye Test. They will say H2H too long ago and Times Have Changed little Peoples From Miami! If we’re lucky we go to 10.

If you think the 1 seed in the SEC is bumping below the 3 seed from the ACC... before the SEC CG is even played....

Send me your Credit Card number, name, expiration, and cvv now to lock in this special deal I've got going on

It would spark the least amount of controversy.

LOL

It would be the end of the CFP. Greg Sankey and the SEC would make sure of that. It would get burned the ground.

Not that that's a bad thing.

The SEC would cancel the game in Atlanta, crown Alabama conference champion, them and Georgia would get in, and they would tell the Big 12 to do the same and crown BYU conference champ and they and TTU would get in and block anything else from happening.

I was talking to @Da Jumbo Mutombo about this in another thread and figured I’d share my line of thinking. If the committee was smart and wanted to save themselves from an insane amount of criticism, then this is what they SHOULD do tomorrow night:

#9 — Miami
#10 — Notre Dame
#11 — Bama
#12 — BYU

Why is this perfect?

1) Miami is given their flowers for beating ND. 90% of the CFB universe would argue this is a good move.

2) ND is STILL in the playoff. Their fans will be irritated for a second, but they will eventually acknowledge that it’s a rational decision. They will also be happy to still be in the playoff.

3) BYU / Bama have an opportunity to prove themselves — win your conference title games and you’re IN the playoff, bumping Miami and ND out. Both fan bases will be frustrated, but they will still control their own destiny. If they lose, they have no one to blame but themselves.

4) The committee is no longer boxed in with Bama. The problem with leaving them at #10 is they are in the playoff no matter what, even if they lose in the SEC championship game. You cannot punish a team for getting there. And even if you disagree with me about that line of thinking, it will never happen. But that’s why bumping them down one spot to #11 solves all of their problems. Now Bama can lose and they can keep them out of the playoff. It wouldn’t be a punishment anymore because they were already on the outside looking in to begin with. And after their performance the last few weeks, this isn’t a hard sell. They are not playing good football right now, so they should fall in the rankings. If they are good enough to beat UGA, then they will earn a spot back in.

5) Everything I just said above holds true for BYU. Reward them for beating Tech. If it happens, they will have earned the right to be in the playoff.

This all makes way too much sense to me. It’s a solution that would create the least amount of controversy, so, naturally, it won’t happen. The only two fan bases that will want to burn everything to the ground are Vandy and Texas.

Vandy is 10-2 without beating a single team that will finish the season ranked. At the end of the day, that’s what holds them back. Beating an 8-4 Tennessee team — who didn’t beat single power 4 team with a winning record — headlines their resume. That’s not good enough to jump any of the teams mentioned above.

Texas has 3 losses — one of them to a Florida team that we body bagged. I agree that they shouldn’t be punished for losing to Ohio State, and, in my opinion, they aren’t. Instead, you are punishing them for that Florida loss and the overtime wins against two terrible teams in Kentucky and Miss. State. They are not a consistent team, which means they don’t deserve a playoff spot.

What do you all think? @DMoney, if you’re right about Miami getting in, then I believe this is the most likely path for us.

this makes too much sense so no way this happens.

I'll bet you they wouldn't
This is why the SEC wins the narrative
People are so brainwashed

They may not do that but the controversy and changes that would be forced in the off-season would be horrific.

It would be the idea of 4 auto bids for the SEC and Big 10 and evolving to a 16 team playoff or more.

No thanks. Go back to 4 teams. There is zero controversy as to who the best 4 teams are.

Ohio State, Indiana, SEC Champ winner, Texas Tech (BYU if they beat them). You can't debate that those 4 teams deserve it over the rest of the field depending on how Saturday plays out. The order may shuffle a little bit but that's it. That would be 2 great games and a good championship game. No G5 fluff, no Alabama losing and getting in controversy, no having to see Oklahoma's offense look a SpEd/make a wish kid playing QB, no ND, no ACC, etc.
