James Madison over Notre Dame, really?

James Madison and Tulane over Notre Dame.

CFB Bracket is supposed to invite 12 best teams in College Football.

Instead this is a DEI version where teams from lesser conferences are invited.

The idea is to create a true national playoff system rather than an invitational tournament. A team that doesn't win it's conference can't bitch that way. The present thought is that a loss in conference championship game, which is big money for the schools, shouldn't hurt a team's chances for selection to the playoff because its an extra game that other teams don't play. It's harder to go 12-1 than 11-1, so losing that extra game shouldn't be a penalty.

Yep. There were two different standards employed by the CFP. That shouldn’t happen. One standard for all.
