Only thing you can hope is that the extra time gives ASU better game planning. Texas has the talent advantage without a doubt.

Yep. He's worried that this will teach coaches not to schedule tough opponents. What it should teach them is not to lose to Vandy and Oklahoma.
There are a lot of dogs hurting right now in the state of Alabama...
There it is. Took one year and you got the pundits saying they need to do away with byes for conference champs and just seed them 1-12 lmao
Didn't they have the exact same number of wins against. 500 and above teams as Alabama?
If Bama has a problem with that tough schedule... they can always join the ACC or Big 12... or reforming Pac 12. What? They don't pay enough? So $$$ is more important than a weaker schedule? Shut up then. Don't lose to the weak teams on your schedule.
Only happened because there's a clear number 1. This format does not reward being number 1 over being any of the top 4.
Only a matter of time before a team refuses to play a conf title game as it could drop them out of the final 12
I wonder if they are going to re look at things next year. With the byes being what the are I could see a lot of years being like this one where the 1 seed has the hardest path. Kinda weird but don’t know what you do about it. That 2 seed is the best spot by far
Cake walk for Georgia? They needed 8 overtimes to beat Georgia Tech. At home. Notre Dame spanked Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Notre Dame won in College Station in a night game. Other than the strange loss to NIU, they've spanked everybody they've played. Indiana has smoked every team they've played except for OSU (special teams debacle). If anybody has a cakewalk it's Penn State and Texas.
The can go with something like hockey playoff scheduling where they "reseed" after each round. I'm ok with that. Makes it more interesting too.
1 seed is always going to have a tough road in this - they will almost always be waiting for a conference champion or the highest ranked team not to win a conference championship, and if they get by that they'll next have either the 4th conference champion or the team good enough to beat them. In fact, the #1 seed could have to beat as many as 3 conference champions to win a Natty. It's the ultimate Ric Flair route: "To be the best, ya gotta beat the best... WOOOOOO!!!"
Indiana doesn’t have the talent and ND is Notre dame; they loss these games by double digits all the time and lost to a G5 school.
Georgia has the easiest path by a mile
My only complaint would be giving Boise a higher seed than ASU when you look at the SOS of both teams. Great to see the committee did not take a 3 loss Alabama over a 2 loss SMU team. As great as the wins that Alabama had, they also had some horrible losses and losing games to a 6-6 OU and Vandy teams should count against you.
