UFC had nothing to prove today (although they played a good game without their best player). We have a ton of evidence of teams from non-power conferences beating top ten teams (they themselves did it last year). For me, today's result doesn't change the argument that you need a playoff format that allows all undefeated teams to compete. No. Being undefeated in MWC, AAC, SUN BELT etc. does not make you elite. This isnt little league. Not everybody gets a trophy. UCF had two great seasons but I'm sorry they were not elite. I dont believe in auto qualifying. Go back and look at the 9-4 2010 UConn Big East Champs or the ACC champ 09 (I probably screwed up those yrs, both were BCS era) Wake Forest 8-4. Would you pass over a 10-2 Big Ten runner ups? Or an 11-1 SEC runner up?

Yeah, who had the brilliant idea of doing a live photoshoot with Uga and Bevo tonight?

I'm all for the best of the Group of Five getting a shot at a New Year's Six bowl (especially when said team wins), but going undefeated does not a national champion make.

I agree with the NY6 game and if we get a 6 or 8 team playoff, a Go5 team will probably get in to the CFP. But no guaranteed slots. Earn your way in

Would I have put them in the top four this year? No. But I find it silly to have a system where a team could win all of their games and not have a chance at the national championship. I think the committee made the correct decision of who were the best four teams but that doesn't mean it's the best system. If it were an eight team playoff, you get the elite in and give teams like UCF a chance. We can say they're not elite but then they go and beat elite teams like Auburn or pull off what Boise State did a decade ago. There's no reason to end a season with unanswered questions.

The problem I have with UCF is the strength of schedule. Obviously, in an 8-team situation, you should give a Group of 5 team the 8th spot as an opportunity to see what they can do (though you may have to mix it up to not make it an obvious win situation for an Alabama in terms of seeding), but I feel like right now, it's hard to consider giving an undefeated UCF the nod over a one-loss Power 5 team given how paltry the American Athletic Conference is.

I'll admit to being a college football snob. I loved this CFP field bc it was full of blue bloods I love seeing play each other. I liked when Boise st was up. It didnt last. They are very good every year but no longer the threat they were. UCF has had a few good seasons. But no prospects for becoming elite. They can take charge of their own destiny and gamble on huge success. Spend a couple hundred million on facilities and brand establishment. Keep winning, schedule better and maybe they get in. Also pushing for Big XII membership could help. Or...go independent. Make your own schedule and keep winning

Also pushing for Big XII membership could help. Or...go independent. Make your own schedule and keep winning That's kinda everything wrong with CFB. That everyone always bends over backwards to push teams like OSU even in down years, because of the pedigree of the program but holds down a UFC team that was undefeated for almost two years. Georgia loses to LSU by 20 and was still ranked top 8. UCF goes undefeated for an entire season, starts pre-season ranked 21st, and is a total pretender for losing to LSU by 8. That's a big discrepancy, and it's based very little, if any, on what actually happens on Saturdays. That the Boise St, Utahs, and UCFs of the world can beat up on lower competition, actually beat top competition when they play, and are only jokes when they lose. If we're talking about teams who embarrass themselves in the playoff/NC this decade, UCF doesn't hold a candle to ND's rèsume.

The Georgia should be in narrative has been nuked.
That was just complete domination by Texas.

My favorite part about College football 2018 is that it’s almost over.
I miss the BCS.
The playoff has alienated me a lot towards college football.

The BCS would have had the same 4 this year, and had Bama vs Clemson playing for the title. Heck, I think every year, the BCS formula had the same top 4 as the Playoff. And if the BCS were still around, that means the first year of the Playoff, it would have been Bama vs FSU. You know, the 2 teams who lost in the 1st round of the Playoff.

The way college football is run is the main reason I can't get into it. So a Mid-Major goes undefeated, but since the didn't play any "real" schools, they don't get a shot? If they are undefeated, who cares? That's like saying 2007 NY Giants winning it all invalidated the playoffs by winning the super bowl because they were only a wild card team that backed in.
Say what you will about the NCAA Basketball Tournament, imperfect as it is, there is the possibility of genuine excitement.
