CFP Selection Show- ESPN 12pm
December 5th, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
So. Much. Padding.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:13 PM ^
Why is ND even considered
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
They need to be coddled.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:13 PM ^
Amazing that Michigan is actually being included in a debate about who should be the *1 seed*. Imagine 4 months ago being told that Michigan was going to be compared side-by-side with Alabama.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:14 PM ^
Why is Baylor even being considered
December 5th, 2021 at 12:18 PM ^
So ESPN can pretend that there is a debate and pad this show out to apparently FOUR FUCKING HOURS.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:22 PM ^
FOUR FUCKING HOURS.
Gotta sell that ad space. All other considerations secondary.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
I turned it on expecting a half hour show. Turned it off when I saw it was supposed to run until 4.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:28 PM ^
Their win over #5 OSU is better than any of Georgia's wins and they won their conference. They should be in over Georgia getting a do-over.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:14 PM ^
Pollack thinks Mich St. should be ahead of UM for the next decade based on their fluke win this year. Tuck is his buddy fwiw.
Toaster head.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
Pollack is bad but he’s also sore cuz his bulldogs lost. Joey Galloway is the one I find unbearable. The dude is such an M hater. I had to turn him off. He’ll downplay everything M has done well and overplay the one thing they didn’t do well (5 weeks ago).
December 5th, 2021 at 12:15 PM ^
Herbstreit looks tired
December 5th, 2021 at 12:16 PM ^
No Jim, not kidding you, we're going to the fucking playoff!
December 5th, 2021 at 12:16 PM ^
The idea that GA is in without question is ridiculous. They got hammered by the only highly ranked team on their schedule. There is a very legitimate case to leave them out of the playoff.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:18 PM ^
Too bad ND didn't beat anybody either.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:21 PM ^
True. I say put Baylor over Georgia and ND. They bring is something different. ND and Georgia had their chance and they blew it.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Baylor has two losses and one of them was to TCU, a team with similar metrics to Illinois. If UM had say lost to Illinois instead of beating Northwestern say, UM would probably be out even with winning the big 10 as they did this year.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:46 PM ^
Baylor = two losses - done. Never has been a two loss team in the Playoffs and probably won't be until they expand
December 5th, 2021 at 12:21 PM ^
Everyone behind them has just as weak of a resume.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
Agree, I would rather have a lesser team get in who won their conference. Potential rematches in the playoff should be avoided when possible.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
GA had their shot and blew it. It's very, very bad for the sport to give one team multiple chances while others, that won their conferences, get none.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:24 PM ^
It's not really ridiculous, a 1-loss team in the sec should really get in, just as a 1-loss team in the big-10 has gotten in. Over the course of the season, GA was the best or second best team in the country. The only team that could get in over them would have been ND who as others have noted doesn't have a great resume outside of the neutral field win over Wisconsin. Then you get into 2-loss conf champions - Baylor, Pitt, no way those teams deserve to get in over GA.
December 5th, 2021 at 2:09 PM ^
I’m with you. I don’t want to see a GA/Bama rematch either but GA just lost to the now #1 ranked team in the country, the most successful team in the last ten years, possibly the most dominant school in football history. This is a very mild sin when you consider it was their only loss. There are going to be many years when the two best teams in football have to play each other in a conference championship. I don’t think you should be punished for playing a conference championship game against a top 4 team…especially when ND is sitting at home not playing anyone. ND should never get in a CFP until they join a conference.
Let’s be honest, if we were Georgia fans, 100% of us would be arguing that we deserve to be in the CFP even after yesterday.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
Anyone know when they actually are announcing something? The four hour block they have reserved is concerning.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:22 PM ^
Right now.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
Appears that Dave Aranda agrees with you.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
The truth is it’s too bad Oklahoma State couldn’t have gained a couple more inches.
I think Georgia would have been out then.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:53 PM ^
Cincinnati would have gotten the firm handshake and polite “thank you for your time” before Georgia gets left out of this party.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:20 PM ^
“When asked about a watch party at Alabama, coach Saban said ‘No, we don’t really do that stuff around here”
LOL Alabama is soooo cool
December 5th, 2021 at 12:22 PM ^
Committee tells Baylor to fuck off entirely. OSU #6
December 5th, 2021 at 12:24 PM ^
Yeah that 49 points against Mel must be it. LOL
December 5th, 2021 at 12:23 PM ^
I am sure Michigan is #2 after seeing Cincinnati at 4
December 5th, 2021 at 12:24 PM ^
Eye roll. Georgia will be 3, we’ll be 2.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:24 PM ^
Cincy should be 3
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
If Cincy was 3 we would be 1. Everyone knows what the committee was going to do.
Go Blue!!
December 5th, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
Just announce it so I can change the channel and not listen to your Bama orgasms.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
"That Georgia defense" is NOT generational. It's plenty good, but the secondary is suspect. I'm not really worried about that game...
December 5th, 2021 at 1:23 PM ^
I’m trying to come around to your way of thinking.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
Blah. More slobbering all over the SEC brought to you by ESPN and the committee.
Almost like the Auburn- Alabama and Texas A&M- Alabama (hell, throw in Florida) games never happened.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
One team lost on the road to a top ten team, the other lost to an 8-4 25th ranked team. Makes sense, if yer Paul
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
#2, no shock deserved #1... BEAT GEORGIA!!!
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
ESPN blows. The committee blows. Michigan deserved the #1 ranking.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
So predictable
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
160 years ago, Michiganders in the Iron Brigade didn’t fear going up against Georgians or Alabamans. We shouldn’t, either!
December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM ^
Fuck these assholes.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:28 PM ^
this is stupid.
thanks for nothing, auburn
December 5th, 2021 at 12:28 PM ^
The team doesn't look impressed with being #2. Good. They were just 'disrespected' again. Bama has looked like crap for much of the season...
December 5th, 2021 at 12:28 PM ^
We get Georgia.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:29 PM ^
Hmm what a shock
