2025 CFB Champs & Bowls

They should just eliminate the conferences and put all of the top team in the Elite division.

Believe it or not they tried to separate the top teams into an elite division with the 1a, 1aa split, now FBS, FCS. But it didn't work, only served to strengthen conferences and 1aa team after 1aa team has gone 1a. The only team I know of to move down recently is Idaho.

Interesting fate… OU was the first home team to lose a first-round game, to Bama.

Bama was the first team to lose a quarterfinal game to a team that had a first round bye, IU.

Two years of playoffs this way and bye teams are 1-7

8 games isn't enough to be definitive, but watching those 8 games, the bye team came out with a lot of rust on several occasions. So there is something to it.

Somebody done pissed the football gods off. Ohio State, Alabama and Georgia all lost within 24 hours. That'd be akin to Duke, N. Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas all losing in the Sweet 16. So crazy. What I don't understand, and there may not be an explanation, but teams that got byes are now 1-7 in the second round of the playoffs. That's just crazy to me.

I did see something almost as improbable. The year Arizona won, they knocked off Kansas, North Carolina, and Kentucky. All 3 were #1 seeds. Duke was in Arizona's regional as the 2 but fell in the sweet 16 to Providence college who Arizona beat in the regional finals.

Wait… let me guess. Notre Dame belonged

They sure did. They got robbed. AND IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED TO A NICER BUNCH!!! HAHAHAHAHHA

The conferences need to be eliminated. Increasing revenue should be the goal. Not maintaining traditions.

Most of the experts picked Alabama to win.

I heard a few “experts” pick Alabama but that’s about it. Did Rece Davis pick them -probably not? I ask because he’s a Bama grad. I’m an Alabama fan and would have been shocked if they had beaten Indiana -they’ve been a much more physical team all year. Bama deserved to be in the Top 12, but this team was not the best they’ve had by far(probably better than last years team). DeBoer has a lot to prove to most Alabama fans -and obviously has a tough act to follow.

Arizona is just… there. Did the coach forget to turn the “on” switch for the offense?

Well .....mystified by the bleachers pole standards for the wild soccer fans.... Arizona is playing tonight because of the defense....and defense they did protecting their bodies....so more of a circuit breaker than a on switch
