Chop Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 They need to do a lot of revision of after this year. Like reseed every round give the highest seed the lowest seed and so forth every round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like reseed every round give the highest seed the lowest seed and so forth every round That's actually where we are now, with # 5 vs # 8 and # 6 vs # 7 But in general I disagree with reseeding - if you as an underdog beat a high seed you should inherit that high seed's supposedly easier bracket as a reward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsip92 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Not a fan of reseeding. Create the bracket right at the start and let the chips fall as they may. This year’s bracket was critically flawed from the get go. In the end though, we would have most likely had to beat OSU and one of UGa, PSU, or ND to win the National Championship. To be the best you have to beat the best! Bring it on! Hook ‘em 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutaneousHorn Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Being “favored” brings me little comfort. These games among very good teams are coin flips. I’d be a nervous wreck in the lead up for either Penn State or Notre Dame. Edited January 4 by CutaneousHorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calabasas-horn Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This would’ve been better if we were playing penn at and osu was playing nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaHorn Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Notre Dame is to Texas as Texas is to Nebraska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This thread is silliness posing as an argument that we might win the natty if only someone else would beat tOSU for us then roll over for us in the finals. We nearly crapped the bed and wound up being lucky to win in the quarterfinals against a team that we were nearly unanimous in thinking we should run off the field. Let's not talk crap about supposedly being favored against semi-finalists we aren't facing. Who among us thinks ASU would have beaten PSU or ND? And those of you that claim you did, please link to comments you made about ASU before the Peach Bowl that would support that. If we want to win the natty, then we have to beat whoever it is we have to play. Beat tOSU, the worry about the finals, and don't dream about a different bracketing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDI Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I think the committee should just select the 12 teams by whatever means including, conference championships, AP rankings, sos, eye test, etc. Once they get 12 teams then seed and go play it off, no reseed. That means a conference champion may get left out, and people will still cry if their team is left out, but I think there would be a better chance of getting the best teams and better matchups as the playoffs go forward. BTW, no special provisions for Notre Dame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are future bets for any possible outcome in the semis, not what would happen if the bracket was different.

Garrett Rapport Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 All these look ahead lines assume Texas beats tOSU, so of course they’d have us favored. Obviously that would be Texas’ best win by far, and would indicate they’re a stronger team than power rankings imply right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
