Having first round games on campus is awesome. It's where college football belongs.

I don't know what the committee was supposed to do. Alabama is the reason two teams are bowling, one of the losses was in humiliating fashion during "win or go home" time. Also lost pretty bad to Ole Miss.

Ole Miss was Kentucky's only SEC win I think. Enough said. 

South Carolina got stomped by Ole Miss, lost to Alabama, and lost to LSU. That said, they were playing well at the end of the year.

Miami was the alternative maybe? They were gonna get stomped tonight too. Indiana's stars aligned. They beat the piss out of most teams, and lost pretty bad to OSU in the second half. Hard to hold that over their head. 

I think this game maybe demonstrated they aren't great. But they had a nice season. If you don't make the tourney as a P4 team, the problem is you and no one else.

There’s really nothing the committee could have done, no disagreement there.  They took advantage of the schedule that was presented.  That will be life in an 18-team conference.  Take advantage of the schedule presented to you.

SMU is awful 

[SIOUXFAN97]

alabama and ole miss and maybe miami.....all would have been better than indy and smu imo

[SiouxFan100]

I am going for Tennessee - can’t get it right

So far the 12 team CFP is a joke. Not one close game. Not sure what the fix is though. Would just like to see competitive games. It will only get worse if Boise State gets blown out after receiving a bye.

Even with 4 team playoff there was blowouts.

Only get worse with nil

College football is becoming like NFL, but worse (no salary cap, biggest colleges with most $ get best players). College football has become like Major League Baseball, which has declined I’d say relatively speaking …

Need some regulation with NIL and the transfer portal ASAP: right now the lack of regulation is a bad thing for the sport.

I think the current seeding process is broken, ASU and BSU should not be 3 and 4 seeds.  This is why your are going to see a bunch of terriable games.

They'll probably change the seeding process for next year. Just seed all the teams 1 to 12 and go from there.

they really wanted conference champs in those slots versus actual "better teams".....sub in ole miss, alabama, and maybe miami/south carolina and it would have been different.

The intent was to make the conference championship games meaningful, which they’ve done.  Problem is it’s creating weird matchups in the quarters.

No better teams were left out. SEC got exposed yesterday. I think maybe they should get rid of conference champs getting byes, instead just guaranteeing a spot in the playoff. That would mitigate some of the weird stuff.

Conference champions get into the tournament and then seed every team - I imagine similar to basketball - not all the best teams get into the tournament but conference tournaments matter

Low attendance for many of the non tournament bowl games. Throw in there teams with a lot of portal players not playing and you have a little mess. I still watch the games but there are probably too many of them. Pretty waterdowned

Lack defense for sure.  Nobody wants to be injured in a bowl game.

Some fun cfp games coming up. Probably three competitive games. Surprised if Boise state hangs around

My neighbors have a cabin by Boise and I went to the UND game with them at Boise last year. Going to the game with then on Tuesday, hoping they can pull off the upset like they did against Oklahoma in that classic bowl game. Go Broncos! 

Still baffles me how we kept a guy like Jeanty in check last year.

Sounds like fun 

good luck to Boise!

Michigan beats Alabama - so much for complaints that Alabama should have been in the tournament
