FBS Week 10

[bisonaudit]

Here's what your New Year's Bowl line up would include based on the latest from the committee:

Semifinals:
Orange (because ACC): #1 Clemson v. #4 Notre Dame
Cotton: #2 Alabama v. #3 Ohio State

Sugar:
#6 Baylor (Big 12) v. #9 LSU (SEC)

Rose:
#5 Iowa (Big 10) v. #7 Stanford (PAC 12)

Peach & Fiesta pick 4:
#20 Navy (highest non-contract conference champion)
#8 Oklahoma State (next highest)
#10 Utah (next highest)
#11 Florida (next highest)

Guessing Navy Florida Peach Bowl and Oklahoma State Utah Fiesta Bowl.

Another year another example of why we are STILL WAITING for a real playoff system. There could be an undefeated team missing from the 4 team field and a one loss Stanford team that I would pick over 3/4 of that above listed field and could win it all. Four games is a start but it's still a fail

If Stanford wins out they are likely in. It's not perfect but they preserved the best regular season in sport.

And they will have beat #4 ND

Should be a very good game.

I'm not 100% certain what you are referring to with that but just add more games for teams that advance. It really isn't going to kill them to play another one or two more.

They probably will at some point. But right now they have a playoff and have still preserved the best regular season anywhere. In time, they'll make improvements. But Stanford has no one to blame but themselves in they don't make the post season.

Teams don't always play their best early on due to replacing players etc. There have been plenty of one loss teams that could have won a championship in a playoffs. Saying a team shouldn't be considered a contender because they lost a game is beyond lame and a decent playoff eliminates that issue. Yes I like the College football regular season but a 4-team playoff still sucks. It still almost seems silly to call whoever wins it "champs." Are they really?

Ohio State lost early last year and won.

Notre Dame and Stanford will maybe be playing for a shot at the playoff. Alabama lost and now should be set up to probably make it if they keep winning. Utah can still maybe make it if Stanford beats ND and then Utah beats Stanford.

I definitely like having a small field to a big one. Plus it's fun watching a game between two very good teams knowing that it's pretty much a playoff game. There was a lot more at stake in that game in Tuscaloosa this past weekend than any regular season game the Fargodome has probably had.

But for the inconvenient number of conferences. They'd be there. Round robin play in 8 groups followed by an 8 team knockout stage. They're not that far away.
