Seems like it must. The number of blowouts in CFP games is way higher than it should be.
Even so, TCU beats Michigan, Michigan beats OSU, OSU to the wire with UGA, UGA blows out TCU.
Praise be to the glory of TCU

Disagree. Michigan ran all over OSU in Colombus and TCU was ok in limiting their run game for a lot of that game
Colley Matrix still declared Norte Dame National Champion that year. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colley_Matrix
I fell asleep in the first quarter on the couch. Glad I missed that smack down!
Georgia probably gonna 3peat.

I don't like the playoff calendar. There should be a two-week layoff after the semifinals. I don't know if that means moving the semis up a week or the playoff back.
The gap from Conference Championship Weekend till the Semifinals make it feel like a different season
College’s Playoff Calendar sucks bc they still cater to the Bowl system.

When the playoff is expanded they need to get rid of the bowls (though I'm sure they wont). With so many players already sitting out, and the top teams in the playoff, they are already kind of meaningless and will be more so when more teams are in the playoff.
There is a build up to the semifinals, but not much time for coaching and scheming up an opponent between the semis and the title game.
The semis should take place just before Christmas.
They had 10 days between the semis and finals, I think that's plenty of time.
I am happy with the 12 team model but the current decision is to play only the first round at the higher seed On Campus is so stupid . Every round till the Championship game should be On Campus. It is all to appease Bowl Execs.

Agreed, but it was probably a required concession. In the fullness of time I expect the bye teams (meaning the SEC and Big 10) to demand a home game for the second round and get it.
The champions of four conferences will get byes not just SEC and B1G. That said I expect SEC will get at least 4 teams into the playoffs and the B1G at least 3 every year.
Seattle vs Denver: 45-it was only 8-0 after 10 minutes but you knew the onslaught was going to continue.
San Fran vs Denver: 55-10…it was only 13-3 after 10 minutes but you knew the onslaught was going to continue.
Chicago vs New England: 46-10; game was over before it even began….it was only 13-3 after 10 minutes. You knew the onslaught was going to continue.
OK, I’ll give you ten minutes is difficult to be dominating at the NFL level. I think the equivalent is probably “by halftime” at the pro level.
Tampa 48 Oakland 22. Game was over before it began. Chucky knew everything Oakland was going to run. I think this was the game Barret Robbins went AWOL as well. Gannon threw more TDs to Tampa than he did his own team. It was 20-3 at halftime and you knew the onslaught was going to continue.
Dallas vs Buffalo; 52-17; No explanation required.
Washington 42 Denver 10….wow, Denver has taken a bunch of Super Bowl beat-downs.
San Fran 49 San Diego 26; it was 28-10 at half but San Diego did essentially nothing. You knew the beat-down would continue. It was 42-10 in the 3rd quarter when San Fran eased back the throttle.
Baltimore 34 Ny Giants 10; OK…not over after 10 minutes and it was only 10-0 at halftime but the Giants could barely move the ball. They had about 80 yards of offense by halftime. You knew the onslaught would continue, and it did.
Plenty of other dominating SuperBowl final scores as well:

2007 BCS game. Florida 42 Ohio State 14; Ohio state ran the opening kickoff back. They had 65 yards of offense on a scoring drive in the second quarter. For the entire rest of the game they totaled like 20 yards of total offense. Ohio State finished the game with 84 yards of offense.
If things “bounce” their way. As an example, Georgia was only playing yesterday because Ohio State missed a FG. If they had made it there would have been zero SEC teams in the CFI final.
So far, twice two SEC teams played in the CFI final. Georgia vs Bama in 2018 and 2022. I will always caveat Bama’s 2018 CFI title because they didn’t even play in the SEC title game. Under the current system, If you’re not at least playing in your conference title game it should preclude you from playing in the CFI playoff. I’m not in charge, though, and instead they just mock their own sport.
Some of you folks have too much time on your hands.
Yeah small sample size but twice they’ve got two teams in twice it was an all sec final. Given the conference’s 12-3 record in the playoffs against teams from other conferences and the fact they won the CFP 6 out of 9 years with 3 different teams winning I just think SEC dominance will increase when playoffs expand.
Sigh. Once upon a time, the Big XII could lay a beat down on the SEC Champ in a national championship game.
If you wanted to curb some of SEC's dominance in the upcoming 12-team playoff, (which the powers-that-be don't) I'd seed the top 6 slots as conference champions. (Like NFL does with division champs) so the highest seed a non-champion SEC team could be is 7. So they'd have to beat a top 10 team at home and then the #2 seed to get to the semi-final. 3rd best SEC team would most likely have to play on the road in the 1st round.
For example, if you did a 12-team playoff with that kind of setup this year, the SEC would've had 3 teams in. Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Tennessee would've had to go on the road to TCU in the 1st round, and Alabama would've had to have gone on the road to Ohio St.
Isn't that how the new 8 team will work the top confrence champions host 4 games. Then it reverts to bowls for final 4 and championship
Definitely the third and fourth sec teams in the 12 team format will have a significantly more difficult path having to play a road playoff game especially when it’s up north.
It's going to be 12 team, and the seeding would be determined strictly by the CFP rankings, if I'm not mistaken. So you'd have 6 automatic bids (conference champions) and then the top 6 ranked non-champions are in. So for example Tulane would've been in because they were one of the top 6 highest ranked conference champions, but they would've been seeded at 12.
No. Only the first four games are at home , seeds 5-8. After that it rolls into the bowls
Also this year the 2 at large would have been TCU and Bama. KSTATE won BigXII.
1 GA V 8Bama
2 Michigan v 7TCU
3 kstate v 6 Tulane
4 Clemson v 5USC
I really don't care when they are played as long as it isn't New Years Eve. That's just ridiculous.
