    Better playoff formats:

    6 team, no autobids
    Byes (1) Michigan (2) Alabama

    (3) Cincinnati vs. (6) Baylor
    (4) Georgia vs. (5) Notre Dame

    6 team, P5 autobids:

    Byes: (1) Michigan (2) Alabama

    (3) Cincinnati vs. (6) Pitt
    (4) Baylor vs. (5) Utah


    8 team, P5 autobids 3 at large:
    (1) Michigan vs. (8) Pitt
    (2) Alabama vs. (7) Utah (enjoy!)
    (3) Cincinnati vs. (6) Baylor
    (4) Georgia vs. (5) Notre Dame

    12 team, all autobids, 2 at large (My preferred format, games before the semis on campus at the higher seed)

    Byes: (1) Michigan (2) Alabama (3) Cincinnati (4) Georgia

    (5) Notre Dame vs. (12) Northern Illinois
    (6) Baylor vs. (11) Utah State
    (7) Utah vs. (10) Louisiana

    (3) Cincinnati vs. (14) Louisiana
    (4) Georgia vs. (13) UTSA)
    (5) Notre Dame vs. (12) Pitt
    (6) Baylor vs. (11) Utah
    (7) Ohio State vs. (10) Mississippi
    (8) Oklahoma State vs. (9) Michigan State (MSU/Miss swapped to avoid a conference game in round 1)

    BY THE WAY:

    On November 8, 2016, Michigan was 9-0 and absolutely fucking wrecking everyone. They lost that Saturday, JT was short two weeks later, and the next four seasons sucked to various degrees. As soon as orange chucklefuck is removed from office, 12-1 and Big Ten champions.

    THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A COINCIDENCE

    Submit a playoff field (with seeds) and a Heisman ballot (Top three). Just because I'm curious.

    For the record, mine:

    Playoff
    1. Michigan
    2. Alabama
    3. Cincinnati
    4. Georgia

    Heisman
    1. Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE Michigan
    2. Bryce Young, QB Alabama
    3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR Ohio State

    Bama, Michigan, Georgia, Cinci
    Bryce Young, Will Anderson, Aidan Hutchinson

    The luck siphoned away by the Cubs in the World Series that caused the election win has now filtered back out to the appropriate sources, clearly.

    For what it’s worth the only thing that makes Uga cry is his inability to lick his bhole

    Also fwiw, Michigan and Georgia are the best teams* and if Michigan wins I’d like them a lot against a Bama team that looks a lot like the OSU team they embarrassed

    *when Georgia isn’t playing Bama

    Also if it happened, I’ll hate whichever media tries to play up a “Ohio revenge” story for a Cincy/Michigan game because it would 1)demean Cincy’s program and accomplishments and 2)any UC fans hate OSU and OSU fans think UC stands for University of Clemson in the playoffs

    look, i'm pleased as punch to have won the sec. I honestly think that's a massive, massive accomplishment for this team. This was supposed to be an off year for alabama, they are super young, the qb is young, everyone is just figuring things out.

    can you imagine if we go two years in a row winning the sec, the heisman, and the national championship game, and then come back next year with a better team????
