Are the rules the same next year?
I have doubts that the rankings play out the same if the parameters were that way this year. Because the only reason Miami jumped Notre Dame was because the head to head so you think they’d disregard that? Unlikely.
The thing to do is if it’s 12, it’s the top 12 teams. If it’s 24, it’s the top 24. Not some manipulation for a participation trophy.
”Similar to NFL playoffs.” For me, that’s a non-starter. Maybe we can get gambling and fantasy football completely driving college football too. Texas ought to play some home games in Mexico, maybe cool if Tx-OU could play south of the border. Maybe manage the games so they finish at 3 hours every single time.
