Get humans out of the process along with autobids.

I totally agree. YSUGO has been saying this for years. Think about this for a moment, the winner of the Patriot League who is not serious about football and shares a conference commissioner, and has a limited number of scholarships (at least they did at one point) gets an autobid. That's a total sc. They will never be a true contender in the playoffs. Never ever..
The whole playoff system is tainted by this problem. Why? Because we were one of the last ones in the playoffs in 2016 and we beat everyone on our way to the title game. Had we not had 6 or kids test positive for marijuana (thanks for your leadership Pelini) we may have beaten the ambiguously gay dukes of JMU. My point here is that we played the most games of any team in college football, because we picked up an extra game in the play-in game and they added an extra week to the season that year. Unless you get rid of the auto bids from conferences that will not be competitive, you will never truly know who the national champion is. It's why we play the games because anything could happen.

:). I disagree that we want uni to win. That would hurt us. Ndsu would then get in over us. Name recognition and all that I think us getting in is very possible. Here is the best scenario in mind:
1)We Win.
2) NDSU beats UNI. This knocks uni out of getting a spot at 6-5 or at least it should.
3)ISU beats UND. Leaves UND who we didn't play and could get in ahead of us at 6-5 and knocks them out to below us.
Both are doable however unfortunately ISU starting QB is hurt.
If this happens SDSU Wins conference, USD comes in 2 in front of us, NDSU would be above us and we would be 4 the team in over SUI who we beat handily. If this scet plays out we may get 5 in but we would be 4. Let's go to Tennessee and take care of business. By the way ISU crushed Murray with their backup QB last week.
The YO Show:
jcrum is right, Neel is wrong. NDSU needs to beat UNI in order for the penguins to have any hope of making playoffs.
So rest easy guinpen, you can root against the Panthers this weekend.
