Whatever, SMU beat nobody. Neither did Boise St.
That said, I hope the lower seeds win all the first round games but I’m not holding my breath.
Guess I’m in the minority on here but who you play should matter imo.
If things were more equitable I’d agree or even if they could be made more equitable, but since they aren’t and can’t be all a team can do is beat who is on the other side. Boise state kids can’t control their league or their OOC by the time they play. I don’t think it’s fair to punish those kids just because bama plays in the sec.
I’d still prefer to say only conf champs make it in. If you can’t win your league you don’t deserve to play for a title.

I’d be so down for 10 autobids for the conference champions. That would create true NFL style parity, even if you added a wild card round.

I was going to say I really like this idea, but then I realized it would make OOC completely pointless, would it not? The conference schedule would all be the “playoff” (which is awesome), but where would OOC fit in? There just would have to be something added to make OOC matter for conference standings or something.
That would free you up to actually play games against more of the teams in these bloated leagues. Next crazy idea would be to regionalize all the leagues.
Crazy talk.

Yep, Bama’s OOC of WKU (63-0), USF (42-16), and FCS Mercer (52-7), plus a down Wisconsin (42-10) in Madison, definitely didn’t move the needle.
Hoops guy with his 2 cents:
You know, I don’t hate this as a general concept.

Well that means that Georgia must be dropped and another team has to take it’s place. That is what happened with Florida State ladt year and a precedent is set.
This entire mechanism exists only to serve the P2 schools. The sooner they leave the better.
