Kirk Herbstreit getting a little nutso here

bodyforlife · Dec 2, 2018

I know these guys are paid to be controversial, but c'mon Herbstreit. Yesterday during the Clemson game when asked about the top 4 ranking, he says not only should Georgia rank in the top 4, but they should move up to 3 after losing the conference championship to Alabama. WTF?! Move up? How does that work?

There clearly can be a fair debate on Georgia remaining in the top 4 but moving up is bullshit. Herbstreit claims the conference championships don't mean anything. I disagree. Georgia had their destiny in their hands and they lost. In no way can I see a team moving up, just because another team (Notre Dame) didn't play. That's absurd. I predict Georgia will be on the outside looking in when the final 4 come out and Oklahoma will be in.

Sounds about right

Glad you agree with me. Thanks.

I agree with him and guys have mocked me here for a few weeks for saying Georgia should be in the top 4.

bodyforlife · Dec 2, 2018

Herbstreit's logic makes zero sense. You can't claim that a conference championship means nothing and then penalize Notre Dame for not playing in one. If the championship means nothing and Georgia was 4 before the game, then at best, they remain 4 after the game. Just stupid logic but he doesn't seem to understand his own point.

How can you leave ND out being undefeated?

He's not. He's saying they should switch. Notre Dame was 3 and they now go to 4 and Georgia bumps up a spot after losing to Alabama (in a game he claims means nothing).

I'm not saying him specifically. I'm just saying anyone...

I mean it comes down to the "What more could have they done" line, with me anyway.

dnf,

No one is saying Notre Dame should be left out. Oklahoma would be the odd man out.

Because nobody wants to see Bama vs GA again in the semi's, 1 vs 4

I'm beginning to think the committee may very well decide yesterday was GA's playoff game

And that's fine if he had said that. I'm just referring to his reasoning which makes zero sense.

StevieRay · Dec 2, 2018

Ga is prob 3rd best but had chance. Miss field goal and a stupid fake punt

skins85 · Dec 2, 2018

No 2 loss non conference champ should ever be considered for the playoff.

slapshot · Dec 2, 2018

Georgia is the 3rd best team

bodyforlife · Dec 2, 2018

I give up. I feel like the guy in this commercial trying to explain that he didn't go to Hawaii for shaved ice only to have people keep talking about shaved ice

hno:

On to the NFL

We have yet again more than 4 teams worthy of getting in. Ohio st deserves a shot just like OU and UCF. This thing is going to have to change.

that's why everyone should hope Georgia is 3

and we have better games

2PLAYSMAX · Dec 2, 2018

When they do expand the playoff system, I have always wanted them to only go to 6, but I think it will be 8.

6 would give a greater value to the regular season still by having the top two teams get byes into the semis.

I know the argument will always be there for team 7 & 8, but if you look at the past few years, those teams at 7 & 8 in the final ranking before the playoffs aren't legit contenders.

REDEYE · Dec 2, 2018

ESPN projections gives Ohio St over a 70% chance of getting int and OKla less then 30.. not saying I agree with it , but its interesting to say the least. as far as a 8 team diminishing the regular season. that's nonsense. if anything it will add to the regular season knowing that you win your conference , you're in
