Boise State AD’s Stunning Rebuke of CFP Committee Sparks Controversy — What’s Behind the Backlash?
The Boise State football team did not have to play a first-round CFP game last season. Instead, the Broncos got a bye and played their first game in the quarterfinals against Penn State at the Fiesta Bowl. The Nittany Lions won 31-14.
If the new rules were in place, Boise State would’ve opened up their playoff run in the first round on the road against Indiana. That probably would’ve been an easier matchup despite the challenge of playing on the road, but there are also a lot of other factors at play. For example, the nine-seed plays the top seed in the College Football Playoff in the second round if it wins it’s first-round game.
