UGA has peaked. It's all downhill from here.

They felt shafted. I guarantee you UGA would have given us a much harder game than ND did if they had been in the playoffs. I figured they'd lose because of the "Don't want to be here" syndrome.

I agree they would have put up more fight.

I actaully keep forgetting they lost to LSU. That and not winning the conference have to mean something in the current format. UGA did not deserve a shot at the belt. Should have won the Royal Rumble, that guarantees you a shot at belt for Wrestlemania.

I just think we need 8 teams. I'd say UGA is better than OK

Even with two losses. There were three undefeated teams this year, with an asterisk for ND because they played one less game because no conference championship. That leaves a lot of one-loss teams and very good teams competing for that 4th spot. We won the NC with one loss, but that very same year we may not have even made the cut with the loss to Pitt if there had been 3 undefeated teams above us.

Where do you stop it though?

Because there will always be a crappy 3-4 loss team who was good the year before (or at some time in the last century, and I'm talking to you, Notre Dame and Georgia) who say they should be in it.

Everyone who had a complaint this year, and any really...

would be in the top 8 teams. No one past #8 is a legit NC contender. When they started this I knew plenty of years there were more than 4 teams who could win it all.
Honestly, I'd just assume the NCAA take back that extra regular season game they gave and added an extra playoff game in place of it.

I like 6 teams

5 conference champs, 1 at-large team. 3-6 play each other 1st week, and 1 & 2 get a bye.

If they expand it, I think that would be the right way....

Look at how the No. 8 team has done in the playoff era:
Jan 2, 2019, 1:43 PM
|
|
2014: No. 8 Michigan State 42, No. 5 Baylor 41
2015: No. 7 Ohio St. 44, No. 8 Notre Dame 28
2016: No. 8 Wisconsin 24, No. 15 Western Michigan 16
2017: No. 5 Ohio State 24, No. 8 USC 7
2018: No. 11 LSU 40, No. 8 UCF 32
For the five years of the playoff, only Alabama and Clemson have been No. 1. Does anyone believe any of the above eighth-ranked teams would have challenged a top-ranked Alabama or Clemson?
Take another look at that list. You see that victory by Ohio State in 2017? That's the only victory by a fifth-ranked team in the playoff era. That may speak to the motivation of the first team left out of the playoff. Georgia made so many uncharacteristic mistakes -- poor ballhandling, missed tackles, etc. -- Tuesday night in its 28-21 loss to No. 15 Texas that the Bulldogs played as if they had a bad case of Woe Is Us.

I don't think it should be expanded at all right now....

the goal is to get the 2 best teams to play
The 4-team playoff replaced the BCS because many thought we weren't always getting the 2 best teams.
I don't think a case can be made that we haven't had the 2 best teams every year of the playoffs.
