The College Fake Playoff rolls on. Thank you ESPN for deciding who are the best teams on paper rather than the field.

Take the Power 5 Champions and add 3 other Champions and have a real Championship.


CFP Playoffs are not a real playoffs...

“The fix is in for Bama.”

I hope Clemson blows them out of the water. Maybe then the Playoff Committee will get over their fetish for all things Bama.

There will be as many Power 5 Champions in the Rose Bowl as the Playoffs.

3 of 4 teams have coached for ‘Bama. You know that crimson red state that strongly supports Trump and Roy Moore.

How an Alabama victory over an FCS Mercer team even counts in the selection committee’s eyes is ridiculous.

Ohio State played 9 CONFERENCE GAMES, the SEC plays 8 so they can play more cupcakes to pad their resume.

Indeed. Raise it up to at least eight finalists. Would love to have an extra weekend of college games in December.

Absolutely, eliminate 1 of the non-conference games and play the quarterfinal game a week after the conference championship, leaving the semis and finals as they are.

Same as Clemson playing The Citadel who lost to Mercer.

The only time I root for clempson is when they play Ohio State, the only team I hate more than clempson.

One of Ohio State’s non-conference wins ws UNLV, which beat Fresno State that the fraud committee tried to justify Alabama’s no. 5 ranking a week prior by saying they had 3 top 25 wins, Fresno State being at 25. Then both Fresno State and Auburn lose lose this past weekend, Ohio State wins and now Alabama is suddenly so much better. Hmmm...

Since the days of Bear Bryant and Alabama dominating college football, Alabama has had a national fan base.

Bandwagon fans. Like OU, the team gets all the fans who did not attend college so are free to choose any team they like. And they always like the team that gives them the best chance to brag about NC's, even though they have no personal association with the school.

"The fix is in for Bama."

If there is a 'fix' in, I do hope it is for Alabama.

Throw Auburn in there and call it 'the magic triangle', eh
