The talks about teams like Indiana and SMU not belonging are so infuriating as a College Football enjoyer. They both took care of their business during the regular season. They couldn’t control the strength of their schedule since we see games regularly being scheduled 5 to 10 years in advance. But the main point is that both teams losing weren’t even the worst losses we have seen in the CFP era. Indiana, score wise, wasn’t even a blowout!

20 out of 32 playoff games, all time, have been 14+ point blowouts. 62.5%. I am in favor of the expanded playoffs because it makes the regular season more important in the long run. I am not in favor of people being dense and acting like better teams beating other teams, by a big margin, is something new for the CFP.
