Going nearly a month without playing is actually a huge negative and these playoffs hurt the good teams with a bye. We should be watching the final or semi finals today, not a month from now.

So you're telling me there's hope that Oregon will win

I can't believe Miami beat OSU. It's why I don't make bets on sports!

1-7 with the only win being clearly the best team still seems fair.

I’m just amped for the Hoosiers. Never in a million years did I think we’d win in football before we got back to the final four

If every bye team loses again, they will update the format, right?

I think the update is happening either way, though probably not to a better system for the fans.

All they really need to do is expand to 16 teams so no team has a bye.

That just adds more bad teams, maybe it solves the not playing in a month.

It does, but it's mostly to keep the top seeds from getting rusty. They could also make it so every conference champion gets in, then the 6 best teams outside of that get in as well. Their would still be some drama from the 6 who got in, but it should overall work out.

You reached the end
