Would a CFP expansion be good for College Football?
Yes! It will be the only way the pinstripe and go daddy bowls would be meaningful.
The Herd with Colin Cowherd yes but go to 12 and play the games at home and play the natty at the rose bowl. Get rid of these bowl games and no more scheduling fcs
No, look at the potential matchups you’d be creating... OSU And LSU would no doubt beat the pac 12 schools by at least 20+ points. Alabama would prolly beat Georgia 20+ points, you’d only be creating 1 meaningful game in penn st vs Clemson, and fun fact James Franklin is a serial choke artist, I wouldn’t be surprised in Clemson won by a lot as well, so what exactly is expanding the playoff doing?
Yes
Andrew Scott the pac 12 schools have really good defenses, they hang with everyone. Ohio state has a bad o line and both Oregon and Utah would get after the quarterback, but i don’t know if they have the offense to beat the top 4 teams. Oregon has just as talented of a team as anyone, they just need to come out playing hard from the get go. Utah’s defense might be the best in the country but their offense is too predictable and they would have a really hard time scoring against a top team.
I love a wholesome father/son conversation.

"One of us was alive in the 50s"
I wait all week for this video/ segment with Joe Klatt!
Kevin Torres Joel Klatt is one of the best in the business
April Lambert *joel
I am 100% here for Joel Klatt bashing NBA TV ratings.
THEY MENTIONED US! MINNESOTA WE MADE IT!
Minnesota getting no respect rn
Lol we never get respect but if we beat penn state we will
No, they will point out the weakness of Penn St schedule and how they were obviously overrated.
I got respect for all my big ten comrades. Except for you know who..
I’m just glad Klatt put Baylor in his top 10
Broussard AND Colins dad in the same day?
Now this is epic
Wait I'm dumb, who's Broussard's dad? I'd love to see his "hot takes" owned by a smart analyst like Klatt
This is the best I’ve seen Collin in an argument with Joel klatt
Josh Seljaas Agree, and kinda feel bad for collin being “called out” for his nice shoes. Can a man not have nice things here and there 😅
Dad came back home early from work to teach Colin a lesson
Colin, " i relate to America !" Klatt, "with those $500 shoes?"
Joel Klatt needs his own show. He is the best sports analyst on television
It's the fact that he keeps it 100 and doesn't sound off with click bait
Devin 33 true
Doest do clickbait? Dude legit wants just 4 teams in the playoff....out of like 130 or more...thats idiotic and his saying itd ruin a conf title game is a click bait argument
Uh yeah, because it’s too diluted at that point. 4 is the perfect number. I mean, this isn’t the NFL. How many postseason games do you need them to play?
I'd say skip Bayless actually
It’s so weird how Colin’s father is younger than him.
Joel is so right on the urgency of the regular season being a big differentiator from the NFL season
And colin and joy are right that the NFL still pulls better ratings AND has an actual playoff system, even if it means there are rematches
@@insertnamehere2746 the argument is that college football ratings would suffer if the playoff was expanded it makes things less interesting during the regular season so people would gradually lose interest and then college football is no longer 2nd most popular sport
unshapen tuna But that’s not true. The American public loves football. It doesn’t matter if there are playoff implications or not. People in America will always watch their college football team play.
It is different but they don't really take advantage of it. The best teams only have 3-5 competitive games a season and people watch. Even scheduling is more important for making rlthe regular season valuable going forward
Playoffs make you earn a spot. Being elected into the top 4 is literally playing the games on paper. The best team doesn't have to win
@@dylanspurlock6150 it's TRUE to a certain point is all I'm saying and it would be a progressive decline in ratings not immediate
80-7 damn thats toughhh
KLATT!!!! Best segment on FS1
fifdaddy need to expand his takes. Ik he’s great at college football but I’d like to see him talk some more topics
These two are great together
Ohio State Demolished Wisconsin and now Everyone acts like that isn’t a good win
Wisconsin might of lost to ILLINOIS so like
Of course the Wisconsin win doesn't look as good! They lost to an unranked Illinois! If WU wins that game and then OSU beats them, it's a top notch W. Blame WU for all of the doubters. Also, the other ranked team that OSU beat is Cincinnati. I don't care what their record is, it's Cincinnati.
@@xCriMsoN_ True, they only beat two ranked teams so far. But the way they beat those teams is astronomical. OSU is averaging 48 points per game and their opponents average 7.8 points per game.
Alabama has played 0 ranked teams and only three opponents were held to 2 scores or less. Clemson will only play one ranked team if Wake Forrest doesn't lose between now and their game AND THEY ALMOST LOST TO AN UNRANKED OPPONENT. LSU has played two ranked teams and has held only two teams to less than 10 points. Vanderbelt scored 38 points against them.
LSU is averaging 44 points per game and their opponents are averaging 20 against them.
Clemson is averaging 44 points per game and their all unranked opponents average 11.6 against them.
Alabama is averaging 48 points per game but their also all unranked opponents are averaging 15 points against them.
Ohio State is beating their opponents by a larger margin and they have a highly ranked schedule as far as who they have played's record is concerned. Ohio State is utterly dominant this year.
@@stewg4661 Valid points, BUT my only argument is LSU beat #10 and #11, which trumps OSU's victories. I'm a Bama fan and I have no issues with where we're currently ranked, and I wouldn't have had any issues if we were ranked lower. To this point in the season I just think LSU has impressed me more than OSU.
@@xCriMsoN_ I mean, when you think about it, OSU and LSU both have offenses that are pretty much on the same level.the big difference is the defense, where OSU's has been dominant while LSU's is absolutely abysmal compared to what everyone is used to. (their defense isnt that bad, but compared to how good their defense usually is, it is bad.)
Wofford and Citadel gotta be the most talked about teams in the country 😂😂
They are the 2 best college football teams in South Carolina
Klatt thinks moving to an 8 team playoff will make everyone schedule 4 FCS teams in non conference play. Lol plenty of teams have ZERO chance at the playoffs they only schedule one anyway. Should be a rule you can only schedule one: more than just “only one for bowl consideration”
Say Alabama schedules 4 FCS teams and beats them all. Then comes conference play. They lose to LSU or Auburn. Oopsies no trip to the conference championship and definitely no wildcard.
@@52flyingbicycles I know in SC it's a state law that requires Clemson and Gamecocks to play one instate FCS team every year to keep the money instate
Thomas Urech with a 8 team they will most likely still get in 11-1 would be better than a 10-2 runner up in the conference championship.
I don't even watch college football but I come here just to see klatt serve his son Colin up everytime 😂😂
Osu was scheduled to play TCU but TCU pulled out so they had to add Miami of Ohio... osu tries to schedule one big out of conference game a year (ex. Oklahoma, TCU, VT, Oregon in the future, etc.)
TCU didn’t back out, they just didn’t want to do a home and away with Ohio State like they did. That’s why last years game was a neutral site
Tyler Snell “neutral site” game was in Dallas I believe lol
Broman5150 honestly was thinking the same thing. I find it odd that no one has really mentioned that TCU pulled out of that game.
Broman5150 Notre Dame Texas and Washington home and homes too
Oregon next year!
Joel is the best. They bring the best out in each other and I look forward to the video every week.
8 teams makes it possible for a team that has fluke loss to make it . Sometimes the best team has injuries
I always love Wednesdays, because that means it's time for the weekly Take Your Son to Work Day with Joel and Colin.
I’m a simple man, I see Joel and I click
It’s week 10 and Colin still can’t pronounce Wofford.
andrew griggs wofford sucks anyways
This segment just gets better by the week. Freaking outstanding. Oh, and Klatt wins yet again.
Maybe the best segment in sports talk...for whatever that's worth lol
Big daddy Klatt in the building
Colin tries...so hard. lol
If Oregon wins out they need to be in the playoffs
Gon need some help
@@shapz9975 the SEC teams should help them out, they need to stop this SEC dominance narrative. We've had two National Championship games between two SEC teams in recent history Alabama won both times and curb stopped LSU in one of those games. Idk about you but I don't think two teams from the same conference should make the championship game in any sport.
Lord Clarke True, but I would argue that ALA vs GA in the national championship game a couple of years back was one of the best games of all time!
@@BlackTrunksPodcast The Auburn vs. Oregon game was a classic as well.
Every game matters in college football. The only reason I stay stuck to the TV every Saturday. And the NFL's per game ratings are only higher because there are far fewer teams which means far fewer games competing for viewership. The real determinant is game attendance where college kills the NFL.
God, I’ve never seen Joel have a trash argument but man he got close this time.
How what
Heres the thing this playoff system is fine imo....bc these regular season games are playoff games...BAMA vs LSU is A PLAYOFF GAME....OSU VS PSU IS A PLAYOFF GAME....like these are playoff games
Make the regular season factor into home field advantage, there...now it all matters. 8 teams would not devalue the season...not even close.
If they went to 8 the big bowl games like the rose bowl would be the playoff games so the home field advantage argument wouldn’t work
@12:30 I agree with Klatt. For the casual fans, a ‘bama vs. LSU game in the regular season would mean less over time with an 8-team playoff. Maybe not the first or second year of the 8-team playoff but over time, some of the rivalry games and current “big games” would matter less because 1 and 2 loss teams in Power conferences would still get playoff bids anyway. So the regular season WOULD mean less. Agree with Joel. Although it would give way to out of conference rivalries to take shape via a larger playoff format (i.e. Clemson vs. ‘bama).
Look, Joel Klatt is far and away my favorite analyst/commentator in football, but I think hes absolutely wrong about regular season rivalry games meaning nothing in the FBS in the event of an 8 team playoff. I know most people on this thread probably dont follow or care about FCS football, but hear me out if you will: I'm from North Dakota and I'm an NDSU fan. NDSU and South Dakota State are perennially two of the top teams in the FCS and obviously being in the same conference, they play each other every year for the Dakota Marker (the marker is a replica of the one that is actually used to mark the border between the two states). Both of these teams know that on any given year, win or lose, they will both likely still be in the playoffs given the 24 team format. Despite this knowledge, both teams and fanbases make this rivalry one of the best in college football. The games are always thrilling and usually very close, the fans make the atmosphere absolutely electric, and the overall quality of the product on the field year in and year out is top notch. I think the idea of these FBS rivalry games becoming meaningless in an expanded playoff format is completely overblown.
I feel like they should just stream an hour long segment once a week with these two, and then bring on additional guests like Urban Meyer or Reggie Bush. I’d watch the whole thing
Never gonna happen it would make Colin look like an amateur on college football
Gotta make this happen
Klatt dropping truth bombs on this bum
Joel was not dropping any truth bombs regarding the college football playoff expansion
As always, Joel makes such great points. If there was an 8 team playoff, then we wouldn't care to watch the regular season as much because we're waiting for the 'real games' in the playoffs, similar to nba or cbb or nfl. The games matter but not as much when you're already 'in'. I totally agree with that. 4 teams makes the top four spots so elusive that you need to be excellent, however the problem is teams like bama want to be excellent at wofford. I get Colin saying he would still love to watch Bama-LSU this weekend even if they meet in the playoffs, however, what he doesn't realize is that both teams may not lay everything out on the line this coming weekend if they're already in an 8 team playoff picture.
The big thing here is that watching the top 8 teams go after it in a sudden death playoff is much more entertaining than playing in the regular season because you can still lose and be in the playoff if you're a more dominant/skilled team, which will keep hard scheduling and looking fine vs dominating in the eye test while playing bad teams.
Hard to say which is right here. Joel does make great points, but I still want an 8 team playoff. Get more teams in there, make it a sudden death style. The Semi Finals and Finals bring so much hype and excitement, imagine there being twice as much! We just need to find a way to not make two teams in the playoffs (lsu-bama), take this Saturday lightly if they already know they're in. Solution? To get in the 8 spots, both teams (LSU-Bama) need to make this Saturday's game close/not get trampled to stay in that playoff picture.
"$500 shoes that look like he got them off the guy at the corner." - Joel Klatt ladies and gentleman
Classic lmao
Every week seems like a playoff game for these big teams if they lose they could be done that’s what makes it so entertaining
Every game matters. That's why college football is the best sport in America.
I disagree with some of Cowherd's outlandish takes sometimes, but I absolutely admire his ability to accept someone disagreeing with him and even making fun of his opinion. Really is an underrated quality to have.
Joel is SPOT ON about expanding the playoff. One of the reasons ive always loved college football is that every week matters. ITS NOT ABOUT TV RATINGS!!! Hes right!!
>every game matters
>ucf has a top offense and goes undefeated in regular season
Sorry but if a team could go undefeated and still not at least get a SHOT at playing in something boldly called the PLAYOFFS, something is clearly wrong with said playoff system. What joel doesnt understand is that WINNING should be rewarded PERIOD
Considering the games coming... Why is the (in video) question about who wins between Ohio State and Maryland??🤔😂
Joe Klatt is right. Alabama-LSU, Penn State-Ohio State, and Florida-Georgia wouldn’t matter. 5 of those team would go to the playoffs
home field advantage is huge in CFB those games matter.
Expanding playoffs would make more games matter. For example, Klatt says that if Alabama loses then they are out. That means for Alabama fans the rest of the Season would be meaningless. With the Playoffs expanded the rest of the season for Alabama would still have vslue.
Jason Janisewski yeah but at the same time it would give a free pass for teams with “name value” so they really wouldn’t have to schedule anyone notable and can just slide in at the 6th spot, 7th or 8th spot. but also your argument is wrong cause if bama loses to LSU they won’t drop past 8th anyways.
@@jasonjanisewski78 okay but that will in turn devalue the LSU/Bama game we get to see Saturday.... with an 8 team playoff both teams would know no matter who wins they're both getting in.
@@jasonjanisewski78 that's a dumb reason, there's dozens of teams that don't have a chance at making the playoff does that mean their season is pointless? No, and if bama fans only care about the playoffs and jump off the bandwagon once they're out then those are some sucky fans
Joel Klatt, The TOP 4 conference champs get home field advantage. Boom Bama vs LSU matters and LSU vs Texas matters. Don't win the conference guess what you play on the road and you may have to travel 2,000 miles to Oregon, that matters! Oh you win your conference but play a trash non-conference... guess what you're now the road team that has to travel 2,000 miles, that matters. Joel's right about a lot of things but he's wrong about this. the 4 team playoff has shown us that non-conference and not winning the conference don't matter. How many two SEC team playoffs do we have to have to prove that. The SEC plays trash non-conference games. Joel's just wrong.
So what happens i Minnesota goes undefeated up until the Title game, and then loses to Ohio State by a touchdown? Are they in ?
Whole system is flawed....
Jedi Knight they definitely won’t be in lmao
Knowing the system a 2 loss sec team would be ranked higher like Georgia was over 12-1 big 10 champion Ohio State just last year.
@@aidanc1088 That would mean a win over Top 10 Penn State would mean nothing. Which is why i say the entire system is complete bs.
@@tonypatrick1307 Exactly. Hence the reason i say its flawed. The system is riddled with conradictions.
If there was an 8 team playoff, Tua wouldn't play this weekend. With the 4 team playoff format, the whole season is basically a playoff!! With 8 teams, its less meaningful games and drama
But Joel the Bama/LSU game would matter because the loser/winner would be lower and higher in the playoff system, thus creating a harder or easier road for the team to win
Winning ones conference should be a requirement,the top 4 should be the BEST IN THEIR CONFERENCE 1) LSU ( they have beat 3 teams in the top 10) best in the SEC. 2) Ohio St best in B1G. 3) Clemson best in ACC. 4) Baylor (yes Baylor undefeated and they beat K state 31-10) best in Big 12. 5)Penn st . 6) Alabama (has not beat a top 20 team all season) 7)Minnesota - Again teams with no losses should be in the top 10 .. No 8)Georgia . 9) Oregon 10) Utah
“Justin Herbert, Jake Fromm are legit NFL QBs”
Watch Jalen Hurts on the Broncos be better than both of them.
🧢
Hurts is not Elway’s type of QB tho he’s not 6’6 and totally oblivious in the pocket
Fake Name
Von Miller is going to draft him.
Herbert is all hype
Fromm lol now thats a Cleveland browns pick
Klatt cooked with the prediction of the expanded playoff and the shakiness of the Pac12
Joe klatt be hating on LSU lol. He just biased cuz he has a man crush on that db young. No1 n no2 won't be heavily watched?!?! Foh
1. LSU
2. Ohio State
3. Alabama
4. Oregon
That’s my final picture. Also, I really want to see an OSU v Oregon rematch or Ohio State facing off against a former Quaterback of their’s. This could be an interesting year for the playoffs...
Clemson might beat the snot out of them all again as soon as Dabo doesn’t play 3rd and not rostered players most of the games.
The current college football regular season IS a playoff! The entire season is a 2-game elimination tournament. All undefeated teams are pretty much in, and most (if not all) single loss teams make it. An expanded playoff would make ALL non-conference games COMPLETELY irrelevant. If I were a coach, I would bench all my starters for at least half of ALL non-conference games - why bother?
It should just be the 8 best teams if a 9-3 insert any other Conference champ gets an automatic bid I can’t accept that and it should just be the best teams
Yeah that’s why I hate automatic bids. What if an 8-4 Arizona State team upsets an undefeated Washington team? Now instead of getting a top notch team that is one of the best in the country in, you now have a mediocre team in the playoffs
@@alexandergilles8583 thats why ppl are saying 5 champions and 3 AT LARGE. So if in your hypothetical Washington was a Godlike team that for some reason lost a close one to asu, washington could STILL get in the playoffs based on what they did prior.
Alexander Gilles but in that scenario, ASU earned it. It’s the same reason that the ravens went 8-8 and made the playoffs and won the super bowl back in 2012. No one bats an eye when it happens in the nfl but in college it’s like the end of the world.
TheGemPearl Gaming my point is that scenario doesn’t have the BEST teams in the playoffs. People are saying how it needs to be 8 so that all the best in the country get in. An automatic bid could result in a huge underdog upsetting the best team and getting in. Automatic bids are a problem if you want the best teams in the playoffs. If you want it to be 8 so more teams have a shot however, it’s great. But for me, if it expanded, I want it to be so that all the best teams duke it out
I love Joel Klatt... But you're wrong and here's why. We should expand to 8 teams.
5 conference champions
3 atlarge. Highest 3 teams ranked.
That would solve everything. You can your multiple Sec teams. Independent teams (Notre Damn if deserving) Non power 5 team UCF for example
That would cover everything and the regular season would be just as important because you would still want to play top teams non conference so just in case you lose your conference you can try for the at large bid.
Problem solved.
I love how much Joel just comes in and makes Colin sound like an amateur with no idea what he's talking about 😂
Colin was actually right this segment tho. Klatt saying the college football ratings are because the regular season is so regular and special meanwhile the NFL pulls better ratings and has an actual playoff system
OSU👎 Should be number 1. I hope its OSU BAMA championship game
Playoff seeding matters
Seeding has literally no effect. For example the 1 seed has never won the national championship in the playoff system. Especially because they play on neutral sites during the playoffs
Klatt is a fool... 8 team playoff and ratings will go up.
8 team playoff, 5 conference champions and 3 at large, seeded by committee and the top 4 get home games in the first round.
pretty close to what I would do. 5 conference champs, then any undefeated team not already in, then by computer ranking. Designate 7 bowls each year as the playoff games 4 first round, 2 second round, championship game 2 weeks after 2nd round. Only let the major bowl stadiums be venues for the playoffs like rose bowl, orange bowl, etc. Stadiums with huge capacity
@@userac-xpg I like this ..... the only thing I would add (imo) is that NO conference gets more than 2 teams in. SEC, B1G, Big 12, Pac 10 or ACC -- only 2 teams can make it, don't like it? quit your crying.
The regular season matters? Isn't Clemson's regular season schedule why everyone is arguing they shouldn't get in? That it was a pointless season against nobody teams so they don't deserve an in? I think Cowherd had the checkmate when he said NFL teams don't play Wofford. Some of these 1 loss or undefeated seasons are filled with meaningless games against horrible opponents and we don't see teams challenged until the conference championship or playoffs.
The more the merrier wrt the playoffs. More opportunity for Cinderellas.
Scott Hardinger exactly!!!!
It’ll be more upsets as well. More stories, narratives to push, more clicks, etc.
Should at least be a small tourney of conference champions.
The problem with the regular season romance argument is that it's only relevant for the viewers. The kids are playing to win championships. Period. Saying that an eight team playoff will tarnish the regular season was like arguing that VHS will ruin the movie going experience. Sure, there is some element of truth to it, but you're overlooking all the positives that you're gaining. Plus, it's better for the kids that out there on the field.
Why can't the FBS have a playoff system like the FCS?
YFNA makes the regular season less important I think
Because tradition at this point
YFNA it’s a much smaller bracket and still have 30+ bowl games. But probably for money
@@babacarroot3135 I imagine money is the most likely reason.
124 teams in the FCS, 130 teams in the FBS..
Let's get rid of some of these meaningless non-conf games, like Clemson vs Wofford and Bama vs Western Carolina.
Make a conference championship mean something again.
I would be happy with 8 teams, power 5 conference champs auto bid, 3 at large based on rankings, 10 game regular season.
I know that won't happen, I just really hate polls and the eye test.
They don't want a real champion...the big name/money schools have all the pull with sponsors and Vegas...they really need to finally get rid of the polls and bowl games
I think Oregon is the best one loss team right now... I'm not a big fan of the whole shoulda, woulda, coulda thing.... but they really shoulda won game one at a neutral site against Auburn... they were basically a play away. They're also a pretty fun team to watch who surprisingly runs the ball very well and has a tough defense..
Now that's the Klatt I love!
Joel Klatt is 100% right about the fact that having every game matter makes college football better. It is absolutely one of the reasons college football is more fun to watch than the NFL.I can't even understand why they are arguing that reality.
Joel Klatt looks like he could be in "Mad Men" going toe to toe with Don Draper
"It doesn't matter in post season play" wouldn't they be trying to win the west? If you win the west, you can play for the SEC title, and that AQ spot, so yes, it would matter.
You would also schedule tough non-conference games to boost strength of schedule, in case you are a one-loss team that doesn't win their respected conference. In that case you could fight for one of the three at-large bids. The regular season may be diminished a tad, but not to the degree
Mr. Klatt says.
8 TEAM PLAYOFFS IS PERFECT
6 teams is best but 8 would make it even games so id say 6 is perfect but 8 is fair, i get your point tho lol
6 teams
1) ACC
2) PAC 12
3) Big 10
4) Big 12
5) SEC
6) Best Group of 5 champ decided by CFP committee (AAC, MWC, …etc.; forces ND to join a conference).
Klatt with a rare L in the last argument
Klatt > Cowherd!
It should be an 8 team playoff seeded by record and SOS. Boom just solved the whole issue
Wouldn’t be any fun then. We all love the drama of not knowing how things are going to play out even after the games have been played. There’s no set scenarios that guarantee certain teams will make it
There’s no issue.. with that being said, eight team playoff sounds fun. At that point I’d shorten the regular season to eleven games.
Quinton G I’ve been saying this for years. Scrap the committee, go back to the BCS ranking system, and at the end of the season (including conference championships) take the top 8 teams from the final rankings and put them in a playoff.
If you go back to 2014, each year the final top 8 would have made really compelling games. Most were usually 1 loss teams anyways with a few two loss teams, but we’ve had two loss teams win national titles before. I think this method would eliminate all the nuance and debate about who deserves it more to be in and bs arguments like the eye test etc. just let them play it out on the field and we all get to enjoy the show.
8 team playoff with 5 major conference champs in , then any undefeated teams who didnt make it, then by computer ranking. This is a real solution.
Make it eight. 11 regular season games (conference and power 5 games only)
Just have a 6 team playoff conference champs play against each other plus the best group of 5 team in there and have the best non conference schedule gets a by week
8 team playoff
Each power 5 champ gets in
Best group of 5 team in
2 wild cards in
Best in the PAC 12 will not be in the top 8
I agree with Joel, an 8 team playoff would ruin the importance of the regular season
EVERYBODY IS SLEEPING ON OREGON!!!!
Lol
@@marknethercutt3381 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oregon national championships zero lol😝😝😝😝😝😝
Keep dreaming Oregon
Um, Oregon Ducks are here in Eugene, not Portland.
"the regular season doesnt matter" is the dumbest argument i have ever heard
ohio state wins it this year over LSU
OHIO ST. Plays PENN ST./ LSU plays ALABAMA then GEORGIA plays ALABAMA/LSU so Clemson gets in but MINNESOTA could go undefeated then what? Or what if UTAH wins out do they get in over the 2nd SEC team? It's all F'd up
I wouldn't be surprised if Utah wins the pac12
why should alabama be ahead of clemson when they just got destroyed by them last year?
not the same rosters anymore
@@AlexK-rd1ki they are pretty similar same QBs.
Yeah, because it’s not last year.
Last year doesn’t matter lol
Bruh what 😂😂😂
College football final rankings
1. Ohio st
2. Clemson
3. Georgia
4. Oregon
Championship
Georgia vs Oregon
Champion Georgia 24-17
Davonte lyle after this weekend you might actually be onto something
It’s going to be most likely Ohio State, LSU, Clemson, and the winner of the PAC 12 if both Oregon and Utah win out. However, what happens if LSU loses in the SEC championship to Georgia or Minnesota wins the Big 10
That's what I been saying!!
OSU and LSU are just monstrous teams, clemson is up there and I think oregon and Bama are fighting for that last tier. Bama won't get in cause theyll not even play for the championship, and might even lose the iron bowl
What Joel is not understanding is that we would get MORE non-conference tough games as it won’t affect conference championship
Not necessarily. They could easily schedule the way Alabama currently does to keep the team fresh during conference play. That'd be the smart move actually.
Joel: no team that plays a 9 game in conference schedule has ever gone unbeaten!
also Joel: if the playoffs expand conference games will be meaningless!
um, what?
win, your conference championship, and get in. it works for FCS and every other college sport, why can't D1 do it?
idgaf if the conference winner has 2 losses going in, it's about the BEST TEAM.
Clemson has played absolutely nobody but their fans feel entitled because of what happened last year. Ohio State would curb stomp them if they played right now lol.
Klatt is very very right bout if we had an 8 team playoff the game against bama and LSU on Saturday doesn’t mean a damn thing
It could easily set up homefield advantage / disadvantage if that were implemented in a playoff expansion. Think outside the box
*35-0
I don’t want a 8-4 conference champion in the college football playoffs
"People in Portland hate me" while probably true..someone ask him where the university is located
Mark Douglas It’s two hours south of Portland and the city is split between Oregon and Oregon State
Cowherd was missing his entire point. The LSU Bama game wouldn’t matter because if it was the top 8 teams and 2 LSU lost to 3 bama, they’d only drop to like 5. They’d still be in consideration. It wouldn’t affect their playoff chances NEARLY as much as now. Unlike right now where you could very well see the loser of this game miss out
Make it mandatory for teams to play at least one power 5 school in non-conference game to be eligible for the playoffs.
Why do people argue ab the rankings rn when they dont even matter till the last week.
CLIPPERS LAKERS HAS 82 games football 12 games totally shorter season wtf cant compare that u have to take NBA FINALS RATING AND THE LAST CONFERENCE FINALS RATING SHOULD BE COMPARED TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND NFL I BET THE FINALS DRAW MORE PEOPLE
disrespect to Minnesota
