Going nearly a month without playing is actually a huge negative and these playoffs hurt the good teams with a bye. We should be watching the final or semi finals today, not a month from now.
It does, but it's mostly to keep the top seeds from getting rusty. They could also make it so every conference champion gets in, then the 6 best teams outside of that get in as well. Their would still be some drama from the 6 who got in, but it should overall work out.

So you're telling me there's hope that Oregon will win
ryathal@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 227d
That is the trend. At least one big 10 team needs to win

I can't believe Miami beat OSU. It's why I don't make bets on sports!

0-6. Sucks to win a bye I guess.

Aged like milk go Hoosiers

1-7 with the only win being clearly the best team still seems fair.

I’m just amped for the Hoosiers. Never in a million years did I think we’d win in football before we got back to the final four

If every bye team loses again, they will update the format, right?

I think the update is happening either way, though probably not to a better system for the fans.

All they really need to do is expand to 16 teams so no team has a bye.

That just adds more bad teams, maybe it solves the not playing in a month.

I think when OSU lost that was already happening.
Either they change the format or go sixteen teams, no byes.

Ok, so someone go put a real big bet on bama real quick, right?

How much did you lose?
