The SEC is And the committee didn't do a damn thing about it.

The SEC outside of Alabama/Georgia is mid. Ole Miss? Mizzou? Please! With the 12 team playoff next year, basically the SEC is never gonna be left out of a playoff. God forbid ONE time they don't get their way. One year without the SEC would not have been the end of CFB as we know it. But the committee had no guts

The SEC is bigger than the sport, let alone the playoff It's all about those stupid 3 letters and the entitled arrogance of a conference that acts like its their birthright to get handed what they want.

Nick Saban without 5 star recruiting class talent

CFB- where every game counts (unless you're Alabama)

The SEC has ruined CFB as we know it.

FSU should boycott their bowl game

The committee basically showed that SEC privilege is a real thing.

Because apparently the SEC is entitled to a playoff spot. Every other conference cannibalises itself but not the Smug Ego Conference Nope they get what they want and they don't have to suffer for it

why play the games?

This.

being in the SEC is not criteria for making the playoff. 1 loss SEC champions making the playoffs is a privilege, not a right

if you don't let in a 13-0 conference champion, then what's the point of the power 5?

Games should matter more than odds.

I believe what really ended up being a pivot point for 2017 was Penn State losing to Ohio State. If PSU holds on and wins, they have 1 loss (by 3 at Sparty) and would face undefeated Wisconsin. That would have boxed out Bama. What happened instead was 2 loss OSU wins Big 10. If the B1G was guaranteed undefeated or 1 loss, they don't. When Ohio State beat Wisconsin, that made the committee's job easier.

i do not envy the playoff committee

Philly is 5 plays from 6-5 Forget BUF, forget KC, forget DAL, THEY SHOULD HAVE LOST TWICE TO WASHINGTON

I don't know what's more amazing- that the Bills are going to miss the playoffs or that the goddamn Colts/Broncos will make it

Buffalo might as well tank. Trade Josh Allen in the offseason for a QB who actually PROTECTS THE BALL

And shaky enough to lose to ZACH WILSON and barely beat Washington 2x

The eagles are last year's Vikings smoke and mirrors

"DID YOU SEE THAT LOOK? CUJO INDICATING HE CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

And they still have DAL/SF/PHI on deck!

The SNF Chiefs game at Lambeau is basically a kitchen sink game for Green Bay
