The first team to win two BCS championships happened in Year 10 of the BCS.
I must be an outsider. I like the nil, portal, the 24 team playoffs. All this crying over BCS that sucked, it sucked when basically 3 teams had a chance to win for about 15 years. Get college football a cap, commissioner and maybe some contracts and let鈥檚 roll

The two first teams out have been Notre Dame and Alabama. That does not suggest conspiracy.
There are certainly politics involved (if Virginia wins the ACC title game, does Miami get left out since an ACC team is already in?), but I wouldn鈥檛 say that鈥檚 TV doing the influencing.
ESPN/ABC does not select the teams which make the CFP. It has zero presence or say in the selection room on selection day.

25 years ago today (2001): Boston College shuts down unbeaten Miami鈥檚 offense, but a late Eagles drive to try to pull off a shocker is thwarted by an interception and a lateral to/steal by Ed Reed, who ran it back all the way for the game-clinching touchdown in an 18-7 Canes win.

30 years ago today (1996): No. 6 Tennessee鈥檚 Alliance bowl hopes come to a shocking end at Memphis, as the Vols are stunned by the Tigers, 21-17, thanks to a wild punt return touchdown by Kevin Cobb. Tennessee would land in its third CiTrUs Bowl in four years.

If I gave you one opportunity to guess correctly which team would be the recipient of this interception or else you鈥檇 be killed, you would all still be alive.

Browns choose to kickoff in OT. I don鈥檛 get it, man. If 15 in red or 17 in blue is on the other sideline, I understand wanting to kick so they can鈥檛 walk you off, but against Tyler Shough? I want the ball first.

Kind of think Indiana gets the Notre Dame treatment this week from the committee, in that they鈥檒l pretty much be told they鈥檙e out if they lose their big home game this week.

Don鈥檛 do the Mississippi State is a ranked win bullshit. You can make a fully honest and justified argument for Alabama to be ahead of Tennessee without that crap.
For the "Tennessee should be ranked ahead of Alabama" crowd:
Tennessee beat Kentucky by 28 ... in Knoxville. Alabama beat Kentucky by 28 ... in Lexington.
Tennessee lost to South Carolina. Alabama beat South Carolina ... by 31 points.
Tennessee beat Alabama ... in Knoxville ... the week after Alabama played Georgia. The week after Alabama played Georgia, Georgia lost to Auburn in Athens.
AP ranked wins on the road: Alabama 3, Tennessee 0. Alabama's wins by 28, 33 and 18 points.
CFP ranked road wins: Alabama 2, Tennessee 0. Alabama's wins by 28 and 18 points.
Head-to-head should be the decider when all else is close to equal. In this case, right now, it's not.
Any questions?

If Tennessee doesn鈥檛 make the playoff with how its road schedule has played out, it will be a massive failure. Four of its five P4 road opponents are 1-5 in conference play.

West Virginia has just shy of 600 yards of offense against Texas Tech, and it鈥檚 still the third quarter.
