Watching yesterday's games. Tulane and James Madison had no business in the college football playoffs. I would have much rather watched Notre Dame at Ole Miss and Texas at Oregon. The non power conference teams should not be in playoffs unless they have a team ranked in top 12 like Boise State last year.
The selection committee exposed themselves by selecting teams that have no business playing in the playoffs.
How many SEC teams were selected to play in the 2025 playoffs..?
The members of the selection committee need to be replaced.
I think they're replaced every year. They need to do away with the committee, have some play in guidelines for the lower seed teams, do away with the league championship games and come up with a set of guidelines factoring strength of schedule and a loooong list on tiebreakers like the NFL has. Also do away with that weekly CFP selection show. That does nothing but create controversy to draw ratings.

Ohio State might have just landed its first of two big wins over Miami this week.
Days before the Buckeys and Hurricanes square off in the Cotton Bowl, where Ohio State is a 9.5-point favorite, Ohio State scored a stunning recruiting win Monday night when it landed landed a commitment from five-star edge rusher DJ Jacobs. The No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2027, Jacobs committed to the Buckeyes live on CBS Sports HQ over a laundry list of high-level suitors -- including Miami, which was the perceived favorite headed into the announcement.
"Massive shocker," said Andrew Ivins, the Director of Scouting for 247Sports. "Ohio State is putting it all together and I love the fit. Defensive line coach Larry Johnson is perfect for Jacobs given what he's done with kids."
Jacobs is the ninth player to commit to Ohio State during the 2027 cycle.
Miami is not the only program wondering what went awry with one of the best defensive line prospects of the modern recruiting era. Jacobs preps at Blessed Trinity Catholic High School in Roswell, Georgia -- and he's a double Georgia legacy. His father, David, played defensive line for the Bulldogs and his mom, Desiree, played basketball at Georgia. Former Georgia coach Mark Richt is DJ's godfather.
"Cast-iron edge defender with the size, speed and strength to wreak havoc on Saturdays and then Sundays." 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins wrote in his evaluation of Jacobs. "Projects as a future difference-maker for a College Football Playoff contender that can set the edge and get after the quarterback."
Should Jacobs keep his No. 1 ranking in the 2027 class, he would be the first defensive end prospect to maintain that ranking since the 2019 class.

Well .... the Buckeyes just absolutely sucked tonight. Gotta wonder, with the performance today and against Indiana, if Hartline just mailed it in so he could get to his new job.

Hartline wasn't calling the plays, Day was. Miami dominated the line of scrimmage, simple as that.
Ohio State football has secured a commitment from 4-star offensive tackle Jimmy Kalis for its 2027 recruiting class. Kalis, a standout at Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, is ranked as the No. 30 offensive tackle and No. 308 overall recruit in the nation according to 247Sports.
Why it matters Landing a highly-touted offensive line prospect like Kalis is a major recruiting win for Ohio State, which has built a reputation for developing elite talent on the offensive line. Kalis' commitment further bolsters the Buckeyes' 2027 class and keeps them competitive in recruiting against other top programs.
The details Kalis, listed at 6-foot-6 and 280 pounds, announced his commitment via Rivals' YouTube channel, with fireworks going off in his backyard as he broke the news. In addition to Ohio State, he held offers from schools like Texas and Georgia. Kalis was the starting left tackle for Central Catholic High School in 2025, helping the Vikings to a 13-2 record.

Freaking Michigan got the benefit IMO. Not to mention they were totally out played all game
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."
Following video review, it was determined Western Michigan's #18 started his jump from an established out-of-bounds position (left foot) and made contact with the ball with one second remaining on the clock. As shown in the provided video of what was viewed during the replay process, a side-by-side view of the play and the game clock, using a direct shot of the game clock in the stadium, was used to determine the final ruling.
Eighty-five minutes prior to the game, all broadcast cameras used for the replay system, including the camera on the game clock, are synced using a strobe system to ensure all cameras are aligned.
Per NCAA Football rule 4-2-3-a, "A ball not in player control, other than a kick that scores a field goal, is out of bounds when it touches the ground, a player, a game official or anything else that is out-of-bound, or that is on or outside a boundary line." and thus the clock is stopped

....If all broadcast cameras are synced, why wasn't it synced as they're now trying to show on the broadcast? It smells a little fishy.
