  • AA is from the south. A better analogy would be putting the KY Jelly back in the tube...

        Also, putting toothpaste back in the tube is surprisingly simple. Please try it and let me know how it went later today.
        I think NET and the calculus with Quad performance works fine, and blending with a KenPom would be optimal. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the dreaded “eyeball test” and the feel-good socialism of “give everyone a spot!”

        • And just wait until we expand the CFP where the Central Michigans, South Alabamas, and Arkansas States of the world get a spot in the CFP. Because it will and it will be awful.

          • Well if the Central Michigans, South Alabamas, and Arkansas States of the world somehow earn a spot...would you prefer they don't get in? If they should have no shot at a CFP then we should split FBS into divisions where only the ones that deserve to make it according to AA? I don't particularly want those schools to make it either but if a mid-major goes undefeated they probably will...and if they shouldn't then why even dangle that carrot?

            • Watching blowouts in the CFP final is not good viewing, you don't even need to tune in. It's why the NFL is a far, far superior product.

                Again, with the CFP, I want a meritocracy. I’m not for anyone getting an autobid. Arkansas State winning the Sunbelt is nice and all but that alone shouldn’t give them a ticket to the CFP. If it’s a push to say they’re in the top 40 of teams, why would they get a spot in a 12-team playoff? I’m not saying they can’t get in, but they need to be a top level team to get their ticket punched. There have absolutely been G5 members who met this criteria, but it’s rare.

                • The way I understand the 12-team proposal only the P5 have an autobid...

                  • AA is correct. The rest of you chuckletwat asstards are not. You should all be immensely ashamed. You’ve been bested by a man half a generation from gnawing peat and sheep shit to survive.

                      That will be short lived. There is a group of people (like CGVT) who want G5 champions to get a spot. They will probably get their way - especially when the CFP expands to 16. If not then, when it expands to 24.

                      • Well I do think the best of the G5 might get an autobid...so 6 autobids...but what happens when the PAC is reduced to rubble...should they still have P5 status? I really think for CFB when it goes to 12 just have a selection committee like hoops and pick the Top 12. If you are #13...too fucking bad. Have fun in the Liberty Bowl...

                          Selecting the top 12 based off of accomplishments would be ideal, but conferences want guaranteed spots, especially shitball conferences like what the PAC is now. So, I don’t expect reason and logic to prevail.

                            • Are you telling me that the best ESPN could do for a color guy for the NIT championship was Fran Fraschilla?

                              Damn. He is terrible.
