Selection Sunday In-Game Thread

[KJ]

ASU has announced that anyone who wants to enter the portal will still be invited to play in their game/games

This is really ironic in a way that most won't understand, but IU was predicted like 17th to start the season, so every game was supposed to be a hard game. Funny how the narrative changes when you not only win, but smack everybody on the schedule besides Michigan and OSU. Funny how perceptions change when reality shows everything is biased.

They're a good team, no doubt. I'm just saying they, like psu and smu and prob Boise too, didn't beat any of the top teams. Even ND could be thrown in there. So when Bama backers say, but SMU didn't beat anyone....well, neither did lots of playoff teams.

Strange how the teams with the worst SOS have the best records. I think there's a legitimate argument that UGA should have the #1 seed, but with the way the bracket turned out I'm sure they're quite content with being the 2

SOS obviously doesn’t matter for anything. The Gamecocks were 9-3 and near middle of the pack of SEC and beat a 9-3 Clemson that was in the ACC Championship. While I’m not mad about SMU getting in they lost early in the season and then lost the conference game. Not really sure why they are being rewarded with a playoff birth after losing the only ranked game they played all season to BYU and then losing the championship game as well. The only win people are pointing to now is Lou back in October haha. Then having SMU seeded higher than Clemson after losing to Clemson the literal day before just shows the inconsistencies in the process and that they are trying to set up certain match ups

SMU should have just declined the bid after the committee made it clear that teams who didn't play another game couldn't move ahead or behind one another. Declining a bid to a conference championship game is probably going to happen sooner rather than later given this system

Also SOS is so skewed by preseason rankings it's a pointless tool at this point

When you let in 12 teams there are gonna be some bobo’s. That’s just the nature.
5 pages, but this is all it is.

Indiana and SMU basically the same, other than one played an extra game that it lost. Penn St basically the same too, except they're Penn St so they automatically were 5 spots higher all year for no apparent reason.

I think the more interesting thing going forward will be seeding. It’s nothing in basketball and baseball to, let’s say, respectfully purposely lose a game.
Football usually don’t see it but this may start it

There's so few games in football, I'm not sure we'll ever see a lose on purpose scenario, but if your star player gets dinged up in a game, we'll probably see more coaches keeping guys out even if they can return

Travis, Heisman -- absolutely.

This is ridiculous though.
