That if Alabama loses to Tennessee they still remain in the top 12...
You don’t know that. You have to factor in what I stated above, which obviously is above your comprehension. I’ll break it down and simplify for you. 4 teams automatically in the playoffs, that leaves 8 open spots. 1 team, the highest ranked P4 team automatically in the playoffs, that leaves 7 open spots. ND in the playoffs, because we know they will put them in it if all possible, that leaves 6 open spots….6!If we’d had the playoff last year, there would have been 4 teams with 2 losses in the playoffs as at large teams: Oregon, Penn State, Missouri and Mississippi.

You named 4 two loss teams you said would have gotten in last year’s playoffs with only 6 slots available. I’m calling bs on that assumption.
Without their starting qb ?IU QB doubtful for Washington; that will provide opportunity to evaluate IU more comprehensively
IU plays in a train wreck of a conference being propped up because ESPN has so much money riding on it. Watch the BIG 10 do nothing in the playoffs.IU QB doubtful for Washington; that will provide opportunity to evaluate IU more comprehensively
How hard is it to understand? 4 + 1 + ND."which obviously is above your comprehension. I’ll break it down and simplify for you."
I know Pushup can speak for himself, but quit being so condesending against everyone that doesn't share your opinions. We're are all supposed to be U of L fans.

The only problem with your assumption is last year wasn’t a 12 team playoff so they couldn’t care less how teams after #4 in the rankings played out. If it had been a 12 team playoff last year I’m willing to bet the rankings you show would be different. It’s easy to see how they are manipulating them this year to keep the 2 conferences that want representing the playoffs this year.I do know that because the CFP rankings from Dec 3, 2023 are online for anyone to see. Liberty would have gotten in as seed 12, and the teams I mentioned were non-champions who were ranked 7-11.

Simple yes. Easy? No.Long way to go. VT could play for the ACC title. Vandy could play for the SEC title. IU could play for the Big Ten title. Scheduling plays a role in these bigger leagues. Louisville benefited last year. They aren’t benefiting this year but boy they had a golden opportunity and didn’t take advantage.
It is what it is your team has to win games. It really is that simple.
The fact the a committee picks the playoff teams makes the whole system worthless.The CFP selection committee won’t release their first rankings until November 5th. You’re looking at AP and Coaches polls which are not used to select the playoff teams.
I have very little doubt that multiple 2-loss teams will make the playoffs this year.
It is incredibly hard. Louisville is basically 3 -4 plays from being undefeated. The margin for error is slim for everyone. Others have more cushion than others.Simple yes. Easy? No.

No, I know who and what the selection committee is but again they couldn’t care less last year because the narrative was 4 teams. Now the narrative stretches to 12 teams. Do you see what I’m saying? I don’t disagree that there will be two 2 loss teams in the CFP but they should have gotten the 2nd loss in their conference championship. The math then is ND, P4 plus 8 teams from the 4 conference championships, plus 2 wildcard teams. I agree with you the 2 wildcard will probably be from the SEC and possibly with 3 losses. Anything less then that is screwing the ACC and Big 12 are being screwed.The CFP selection committee won’t release their first rankings until November 5th.
