That counted as a playoff game, in my opinion.

Personally, I looked at the Michigan/Ohio State game as a playoff game. Loser is out -- plain and simple. Why do I need to see that loser play in a playoff? They just missed their chance. JRHokie is right -- it's all about the money. People are going to turn on the TV and watch all these games.

The SEC is a big circular firing squad with no real OOC strength, either**

Incorrrect,just look up “best non conference games 2023” for SEC and Big 10

And it is tough to count ND, who is as consistently overrated as the Big 10

I remember Meeechigan played App State. They were pretty good...lol**

Oh good lord. This is a game of infinite regress.

Vienna_Hokie • 11/29/23 09:00 AM ET
What’s the SOS formula?
Pride_and_Joy • 11/29/23 11:58 AM ET
SOS can get skewed (especially with only 12 games), but...
HWA • 11/29/23 11:43 AM ET
Of course it diminishes the value of that game.
Pride_and_Joy • 11/29/23 08:13 AM ET
Maybe, but don't forget about CG games with the 12 team playoff...
BROman Hokie • 11/29/23 09:12 AM ET
How would Iowa and Louisville winning
Pride_and_Joy • 11/29/23 11:57 AM ET
Yep, but you said the big boys would be in a 12 team playoff every year...

Cfb being one elimination reinforces P5 teams playing horrendous Go5 lebel
