CFB 2023 Conference Championships: A thread enjoying five major conference championship games for the last time

They're seriously jamming those teams into that division without change? For fucks sake.
I don’t know but imagine there will be some cross division play (hawt) and always like randomly throwing Rutgers out as a name.
ACC has a winning record against the SEC this year *ducks*.
Actually, that just speaks to how overrated the SEC is this year.
Michigan probably 1
Washington probably 2
FSU probably 3
Texas or Alabama or Georgia 4 (nothing would surprise me)
I could also see tOsu 4 and switch Wash and Mich

I expect these shady fucks to leave us out but Coach Mike getting an undefeated ACC belt with wins @neutral field vs LSU @Clemson @Swamp beating Miami and the Dukies and the D beating a top 15 team by themselves with even the special teams messing up.
What an achievement

Should be Michigan, Washington, Texas, Alabama
Will be Michigan, Washington, Florida State, Alabama

I root for the SOSH real ones. Give me FSU and TX in the playoff and I don't think it's really undeserved.

An absolutely miserable slate of night games

I think the committee should decide based on money — which 4 teams would sell the most advertising. That seems fair.
Either that or use mimes. Each team sends its best mime to Indy for a mime-off.

Clear answer is:
Michigan
Washington
Army
Airforce
Then if anyone complains ask them why they hate our troops

If you leave out the 13-0 team then why bother playing the games?
Leave out the SEC. Other conferences have gotten screwed due to a top team losing the conference title game plenty in the past. Give Texas the tiebreak over Bama along with the 3 undefeated teams.
Or have the cheerleaders play flag football to decide it.

Only have Bama and Texas but they do have odds of winning it all:
Michigan +120
Texas +380
Bama +450
Washington +500
FSU +1800
Georgia +4000
Feels like FSU is boned
Precisely. In a 12 team field they’ll probably get 6.
This year? Screw them. Leave ‘em all out.
Here's my thoughts.
Texas deserves to be in. They are one of the four best teams in the country as of right now. Period.
But....
Alabama is in and anyone that thinks the SEC champ that just knocked off the team going for a 3 peat natty, get out of here. Bama is in.
Michigan and Washington in.
And this might be the controversial postion. Florida state better fucking be in. Last I checked, these assholes that put together a 4 team playoff cannot leave out an undefeated champ from a major conference. I dont give a fuck if they have to bring out Dom Deloise to play QB, this is a team ranking and they keep fucking winning. Only Michigan and Washington deserve their spots as much as Florida State.
I've been fighting for an 8+ team playoff for 20 years. I went to PC, so I have no rooting interest, I've wanted chaos forever, because fuck the Bowls, the best teams should get in, and 4 leaves out the best teams. If the NFL took 4 playoff teams, the Snow Bowl doesn't happen.

Man, I think it would be totally lame if FSU gets excluded right now. They played a reasonably strong schedule and ran the table. They were #4 and won their conference title, stymiying a prolific offense under extremely adverse circumstances. I am a fan, but I was very impressed by their D tonight. They have earned their shot.
If they get denied, it makes me wonder what the playoff is supposed to represent. Anyway, one opinion.

The committe can say whatever they want publicly about how they make decisions. The reality is they can make up anything they want to justify the rankings, and usually do. Plus, money talks. The tv networks and influential people behind the scenes will have their “suggestions” to committe members. No way the SEC gets kept out.
I think so too. The cleanest story is 5 conference champs, 3 are undefeated and the other 2 played head to head and the road team won so no excuses.
I don’t expect that to be the way they go.
honestly im fine w/ basically any 2 of uga-bama-texas-fsu, there's no actual rules in place here. should uga really be punished b/c they lost to bama, should bama really be punished cuz they lost to another playoff team, should fsu be punished for having its qb get hurt, should tex be punished for losing to a t10 team at a neutral site while also having the best win of the bunch.
Heather Dinich could teach a class on the CFP with how much time she spends around the committee, so I think her predictions carry some weight. She thinks Texas will be #3 and Alabama #4.
Game no one has talked about- the Sun Belt title game - App State and Troy- TV was randomly on so I background watched while straightening up -Troy won convincingly and put up big points- RB was unstoppable
That was Kimani Vidal, 26 carries for 233 (that’s 9.0 ypc) 5 tds. TD runs of 36 and 49 yds. Just unreal.
I think this is the only defensible choice. Anything else involves reputational bias.
“SEC champ must go in” is BS
Fanduel had FSU at -480, Texas at -375, and Bama at +134. I think this is right. No way FSU gets left out going 13-0.
Ironically, the old systems would’ve worked better this year. Both the BCS and the traditional bowl system would’ve given us #1 Michigan against #2 Washington for the national championship (in the BCS game, or in the Rose Bowl in the old days). A few FSU fans would complain, but everyone else would admit the outcome was fair.
If they’re trying to pick the four best teams, FSU is obviously the odd one out, but it’s tough to leave an undefeated P5 team out, however bad the ACC was this year. I think the ugly win at Auburn makes Bama the odd one out, despite running the table in the nation’s strongest conference.
