I would have put 9-0 Cinci in the #4 spot. They'd get their asses kicked, but so will Notre Dame.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

Alabama -17.5 favorite vs ND. Oh fun.
ND has been destroyed in every championship and playoff game they have played in with Brian Kelly as HC.
EDIT: Bama -20.5 in other sports books. Woof.

Brian Kelly being interviewed on TV now. I wish Rece would ask him if he plans to film his practice from a scissor lift.

It's a playoff. Win your fucking conference or STFU. It never hurt the NCAA basketball tourney to only let conference champs in and actually made for a compelling tourney. The only reason they expanded it was for the $$. Same reason Notre Dame is in the playoff this year.
If you are going to "put the best teams in" you might as well eliminate the tourney altogether and go back to the ridiculous system they had prior to the playoff.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

Our D is trash. We score a lot. So, that’s why losing our all-everything center may throw a wrench in the works. Because don’t get this wrong: We need to score 40+ to have a chance at winning.

2. NCAA basketball is “not hurt” by giving auto-bids for winning a conference because they have 66(!) spots to give. If they had 4 spots to give, you could bet your last dollar that Canisius winning the Metro would NOT be a consideration. At all. And any mention that winning the Metro means more than finishing 4th in the BigTen would be met with laughter and possibly a mental health screening.

If you can't win your conference you don't deserve to play for the NC
I was talking about the NCAA tourney only giving auto bids when they only allowed 32 teams in an only allowed conference champs in. It made for some fantastic conference tourneys.
No they are not, but it would be very rare for a non-power five team to get in. You know, maybe a covid year?I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

No G5 team should ever make the CFP and, fortunately, I doubt they ever will.
As for conference championships, they are their own reward. CGVT, by your logic, 4-2 unranked Oregon is more deserving than #5 9-1 Texas A&M. That’s just stupid. The whole point is to put in the 4 best teams. I think they’ve done that every year.
