No. 1: Indiana Hoosiers (13-0, Big Ten champs)
No. 2: Georgia Bulldogs (12-1, SEC champs)
No. 3: Ohio State Buckeyes (12-1)
No. 4: Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-1, Big 12 champs)
Itβs great to see Indiana and Texas Tech in the top fourβ¦to make the sport interesting there has to be mixing of top teams. To have the same teams at the top year after year makes the sport boring.
Alabama, Miami in, Notre Dame out.
Let the bitching commence.
Disney/ESPN is protecting it’s product.
Has Indiana ever won a “national championship” during the AP/Coaches poll era?
Buckeyes just switched places with the Hoosiers. Theyβre ranked #2. Dawgs are #3.

Bama should be out. JMU, Tulane? Why?

Notre Dame out, that powerhouse James Madison in.
I am rooting for Texas Tech to win it all.
As for 'Bama.... a three-loss team in the playoff over arguably more -deserving two loss teams?! That's a tough sell.
Here is a wild idea. Get rid of the committee which is filled with dishonest idiots and just take the top 12 in the AP poll. Probably solve a lot of problems https://t.co/0vbRtmPAUc pic.twitter.com/6q5tY88XA3

Ohio State should not be in the playoffs. No team that loses its conference championship should be in the playoffs.
Not enough griping about Alabama here.
They lost 3 games and are not a conference champion. They should be out.
A lot of people think a loss in a non season game shouldn’t count, but at the same time they think the conference champion winner should count. Can’t have it both ways.
I think this is what they should do, if they want to keep the current structure.
As they do with the NCAA basketball tournament, have a “Play-In” Game:
Take the best G5 team, which is Tulane, and they should play the lowest seeded remaining power conference team, or in this case, it would have been Notre Dame, because they would be the team that is the lowest seeded of eligible teams.
The winner advances to the playoffs.
I see that all the changes to college football have not changed the time-honored tradition of Notre Dame and Alabama fans bitching at each other.
