Backlash has begun

I would be happy to cut it back to 4.

Then just watch the last three games and if you are right you will see Texas Oregon Georgia and Penn state play. The rest of us can watch the other Games. Everyone gets what they want

Boise most definitely should not have had a 1st round bye given their level of play and opponents

Without the dumb only conference champs can be seeded 1-4, then ND could potentially get a bye and for some reason everyone would lose their minds.

Let's see how the next round plays out. A case could be made that the qualification process is fine, but the byes should go to teams 1-4 regardless of if they won a conference. We would have had:

Clemson at Notre Dame
Arizona State at Ohio State
SMU at Tennessee
Boise State at Indiana

Maybe those would have been closer games. Either way, the playoffs aren't going back to four teams.

ESPN OWNS SEC CONTRACT
So they are going to tout the B1G?
They have great influence and they are using it!

Clemson is the mistake. But ESPN doesn’t want to talk about that.

who owns ACC TV Contract?

there is no argument that can be made to my ears that qualifies Boise for a first round bye. As for ND, they need to join a conference
