Why choose Tulane and JM in playoff

Stupid....should be ND and Texas 

It is not about the best...it's about $$$$ but soon the TV people will realize that they lose viewers with these games. Hell, I am watching FCS instead of FBS. 

@BiaSaigon

 You're absolutely right. It should be the 12 best teams.

@jdukes0004

 ND can beat any playoff team on a given day

Tulane proved they don’t belong JMU will do the same tonight 

@BiaSaigon

 not on aug 31 or sept 13  

came off kind of snarky i guess. just saying they had 2 chances against playoff teams to prove a point. if they want more chances they should join a conference like everyone else. i think nd needs to wake up to that fact. the other schools are having to fight through conference schedules and conference championship games, while nd plays whoever they want in meaningless games. it isn't right.

@monkeybutt

 LOL what a BS narrative like watching Tulane and JMU ? ND did not play any FCS Schools 

they cant now years before the schedule comes out that Teams like Syracuse Stanford are so bad.

Dont you think they would be way better than both G5 Teams and even better than some of 

the others any they are not going to join a conference and make the Playoffs next year with 16 Teams.

Let the crap teams in to get slaughtered Du Ma

They went over it this afternoon in the ole miss game.  They had to have an off-ramp,to include the P5 conferences due to anti-trust laws. If they had kept them shut out it would have gone to the courts. They will have to address this next year and figure out what they want the playoffs to look like going forward. Myself I saw Goto 16 teams , no byes  and not drag the playoffs out.

@cad

 jmu and tulane were automatic bids. the committee didn't have a choice. your argument would be nd in over bama or miami...who both won their games 1st round. the rules were set before the season started.

Something will come from it all..

Some of these pkayoff teams are a fucking disgrace to college football...

They dont belong in Div 1A playoffs..

High school teams...

Power conferences only..

Notre Dame would have been MUCH MORE SUITED as THEY WOULD OF AT LEAST BEEN COMPETITIVE..

NCAA cant really be thinking this is good for viewership..

Who the f....k wants to see..

TULANE

JMAD

Give me a break...

Most of us dont even recognize the names as Football schools up here in Canada..

Go play cricket or lawn bowling...

Maybe they have good golf

JMAD covered.  IJS  

@camby700

 Is this format the same for next year, like Tulane and JMU could make the playoffs again?

Hopefully not seems like they are going to 16 Rest IDK.

There won't be 2 Group of 5 teams in it next year.

But they do need to include 1. 

Everyone is angry over this. You want to blame someone? Start with the ACC and their dumb Conference championship rules
