Quote from USA Today

All the reverence for protocol and winning conference titles ended Sunday when the committee gave a big, wet, sloppy kiss to Nick Saban and the reputation of his program, not the team he put on the field this year.

No one is going to be happy no matter what. I can see why Alabama was put in as the 4th team. They were ranked number 5 after being rank number 1 for almost the entire season. Teams above them lost so they move up. The idea of one has to win the conference championship was thrown out the window last year when Ohio State got in over Penn State.

Last year Ohio St was #2 going into conference championship weekend.  From not playing, they moved down in the rankings.

Alabama doesn't play conference weekend and are the first team to move up.

If you compare WI's schedule against Bama, WI's is arguably better, but no one could handle taking a team that just came off a loss I guess.

So move up Alabama for beating Mercer a couple weeks ago.

Teams move up and down the rankings every week during the season even when they have a week off. If a team is ranked 5 and someone above them lose they tend to move up.

I wish the college playoffs was conference champs from top 5 conferences. They would get seeded 1 - 5. Then add 3 teams based on football rankings. You would have 8 teams and the conference champs would get a higher seed.

I agree. One thing I would like to see is SEC play 9 conference games like the pac 12.

And the Big Ten and the Big 12.

Only three conferences haven't been represented in the CFP.

Those three conferences (Big 12, Big Ten, PAC-12) all play 9 conference games.

ACC / SEC plays Mercer and Samford though.

Much prefer College ball to NFL but don't have a favorite team per se.
We are 20 miles from K-State so we have followed them casually.
It is however always a good time at a game or even more fun tailgating, been 2 years for either though.

yorkdude, if you are willing to travel for a tailgate, mark Sept 8, 2018 on your calendar.  Fresno State Bulldogs vs. U of Minn Golden Gophers in Minneapolis.  All PFs welcome.  Tailgate at the stadium with ZCZ and several of the folks from Hearthland (makers of the Memphis line of pits).  Great day of bbq and hanging with friends.

Jury is still out as to how much equipment and how many cars/people we can bring on to the site.  Parking is limited at the U.  Worst case we meet off-site someplace.  Will check with ITC1 as we get closer.

I assumed it wound maybe one parking space, and that would be the tailgate area, that anyone that comes has to park elsewhere and walk in.  I figured one pit, that's it, and if room, a table to put a few things on.  Folks would have to bring a folding chair or stand.  Like you said, it will all depend on what Keith says!  May as you say, have to be away from the stadium.  Where do folks normally park that do not have season parking?

Nice to see the local kid have a big day in what was probably his last college football game today.

Big 10 (14) are 6-0 so far. A pretty good year for them as they have struggled in the past.
Just WI & MI left to play.

Go!  Underpaid players vs coaches who make millions and TV companies that make billions!

Been fun TV, some great players to watch for sure.

Feel sorry for most of the players, few will make anything of playing college and hopefully get a good education and mentoring after football. 

Go OU!
