I hope a non-P5 team gets a shot eventually

Exactly, the "best" team metric is just a way for the committee to highly rank teams that they want to pretend are good

It'll never happen with the system. Like, this was the best chance and they disrespected them hard

Think about it this way, what other sport are you punished for having a great season? Literally CFB rn is the only sport where you can go 13-0 and yet have 0 chance at making the playoffs

CFB is messed up fundamentally though

Non-P5 schools no matter how well they play are almost automatically disqualified

I see in a way where the committee is coming from, but its still shit

Yeah.

Imagine Alabama played in the sun belt, kicked the shit out of everyone

Everyone would say "They haven't played anyone"

I think either they need to go back to the BCS system or go straight to an 8-16 team playoff ASAP. It’s apparent that this 4 team thing doesn’t work at all

Honestly, I'd like to see some sort of European promotion and relegation system, where teams like Cincinnati can be moved into the big 10 for winning their conferences, and teams like Rutgers who suck get moved down

That would be cool

However it’d be hard to do cuz they’re mainly region based

Ye

But it might be possible

They'd have to give each conference an affiliate and rebrand them a bit

Like say make the MAC the affiliate of the Big 10, then put "Big 10" region teams in it

Yeah

Makes it also incredibly important to not be the worst team so you don't get demoted lol

Clemson & Oklahoma have won their conferences every year since 2015, Ohio State every year since 2017

*chuckles nervously* i totally don't lowkey support boston

lol

spoiled ass city

xD

they beat the leafs a lot tho <:KEK:726877368601411624> anything to send toronto misery makes me happy

Toronto losing is just kind of funny

although they are gonna stink this year so i'm looking forward to that 😔

I don't much care for Vegas either

rumour says this is FINALLY the year. i've got beer ready to laugh at all the leafs tears

i don't think vegas is gonna be sustainable. they have a lot of knee-jerk trading reaction

Toronto Maple Leafs: Professional Hockey's Dallas Cowboys

vegas is also in cap hell after that Pietrangelo contract too

sharing the lolcow of the decades title with each other <:KEK:726877368601411624>

I kind of feel like Vegas has gone from the lovable underdog to the entitled asshole very quickly xD

with that kind of success in the first year? yes 😂

i mean i like that they're being successful, but still. they give off the "i've big money and i know it" vibe

I get this feeling that the NHL wanted them to be good to avoid another Coyotes situation

that's what they're hoping for seattle, too. although at the beginning a lot of people predicted vegas was gonna be hell. some people say it's the timing of vegas's entrance, but i wasn't sure how nhl actually would control that

Well back in the day the expansion draft rules were not kind at all

We'll see how Seattle does with their
