      No😂😂😂😂. What i mean is the 4 team playoff had blowouts. The only way it wouldnt be blowouts would be if the sec and big ten would pick their top 10 teams with 2 wild cards. So no boise state, arizona state, smu or clemson. Alabama, ole miss, texas a&m and maybe colorado.

    Every other sport that has a post-season bracket goes through the same thing. The first rounds are blowouts, or you may get one good game. The following rounds are better...or you may get a blowout or two. Why would college football playout differently? I think it's great to see teams having to play an important game on the road or at home instead of some vanilla neutral site. Seeing an SEC team playing up north was a rare treat, an intrastate game between Indiana and ND, SMU going to PSU, ND heading to Georgia, Arizona State at Texas, this is good for recruiting and for fans/players to experience venues they never have before. This show is turning into an anti-sports talk show. They literally hate everything about everything.

      Bad example. Ncaa basketball the talent is closer. That's why every year there's a ton of close games and upsets. The game makes it easier to have parody unlike football. In football when you have a way more talented team your almost always gonna destroy smaller schools. In basketball even if your more talented than another team, your team can have a off shooting night or the other team has a star going off to pull the upset or make it close. The reason why the college football are more blowouts because of the talent gap in the trenches. The offensive line and defensive line.

    There are some idiot callers talking about Alabama and how it doesn't matter if you lose a bunch of games. There are never more than 4 teams that could legitimately be the best. Alabama got embarrassed by multiple 6 loss teams including a 24-3 beating 2 weeks ago. They would have gotten destroyed just like Tennessee did by any of the teams hosting round one. The only problem with the seeding is giving automatic bye to conference champs. 5 conference champs should be included and the 7 highest remaining but seed based on ranking.
