Yup. There is not a single team outside of the 12 that would have a chance, and that is the whole idea, to make sure everyone with a chance gets in. Who is 11 or 12 is irrelevant. 

I would say there is not a single team outside of the top 2 or 3 that have a chance, so why have all the others in to begin with? Pointless games except for 1 huge item..$$$$$.

This year I think most of the top 8 teams have a chance tbh

How are you determining the top 2-3? There's one P4 undefeated team and another 10 with two or fewer losses.

It's amazing to me that they've had to go away from their running game...

Bro, are you watching? Do you see the scoreboard? LOL

Damn, OSU is going for the blowout. Going for it on 4th and 4 from midfield up 21-0? Diabolical. LOL!

Ryan Day trying to shut these naysayers up and the OSU fans mockingly chanting SEC! SEC! SEC!

Think he got to win at least another game to start feeling safe.   But feels like he coaching with more than just winning on his mind. 

I was just told by a Colorado fan the 6th best team in the SEC is better than best teams in all the other conferences.   So I don’t understand how this game is happening

A FG here just seems pointless...

But that has always been the question. Does having 8 teams that have no realistic shot at winning the tournament help to define the tippy top? It seems more like a battle of attrition then. Well, this team ran the gauntlet of inferior opponents, so it is best. In that case, why stop at 12? Have the entire top 25 battle it out.

I guess what I am saying is I like more games as much as everyone else. This doesn't work for me though, and doesn't offer the compelling contests that we expect from playoff football.

Well, that Panthers/Ravens fan said the Ravens didn't even look playoff caliber as soon as they started out down 7-0 today. LOL

 “…a Colorado fan…”. Well played lol

Bingo. The 12 team format is good. There will always be squabbles about the bubble teams but 12 is gonna get in everyone with a legit chance.

Now just move the games to neutral locations to remove home field advantage.

If they really wanted to mix it up, make the better seed play on the road in the 1st round lol.

Random Cade Klubnik put up more pass yards than any team put up total yards on Texas all season today…and almost matched their season pass TD total allowed.  That’s the best D in college football.  Texas lucky Clemson played HS defense with it. 

all the teams have shown they are inconsistent this season.  While these bottom barrel teams got no shot of stringing games together and actually competing for a natty….i still think any of these teams can get beat if they catch a team having a good day.  No dawg had a had a good day yet but we saw it all season IMO. 

which is I guess what they want to happen with the 12 team format… some team that really isn’t top tier catching a good day and taking someone down.  Hasn’t happened yet but there are still several left….and now potentially you get more wounded versions of teams going forward.  Texas got beat up today for example.  Really they are a top 4 team.  Now they got to go against ASU beat up.  Might catch more injuries there too.  I think college football wanted moments and people getting beat by teams they shouldn’t is it.  Just like 1 per playoff is what they want IMO

If Tennessee can put this in the endzone they might actually be able to make a game of this.

The best game today was N. Dakota State and S. Dakota State.  NDS has a wr that I think could be an nfl player and I'm curious to see if he can make an nfl team. Their qb is not bad either.

Cooper Kupp and Trey Lance were both D1AA guys. Lance actually coming from NDSU.
