He should probably shut the fuck up about the playoff until he gets Nebraska to more than 6 regular season wins.
Feels like all anyone ever does at Nebraska now is whine to the media.
Of course, it starts at the top with their AD.

At this rate lets just cancel the season each year and give everyone the co-natty.
This is clown shit. We will see where it goes after a while but the expanded playoff produced a ton of dud games in year one. About the only good thing it did was get Oregon bounced in a first round game.
It crowned an ACTUAL champion that would not have been invited under a four-team playoff. It also rewarded teams that won their conference. FYI, you don't have to watch the games that you don't like. Yes, they could've stopped at 8 teams but then it's just a matter of time before eight is not enough. Twelve likely includes all deserving teams (including a few that some won't want to watch).
If you're going to keep expanding then better make sure all the games are on college campuses and probably need to stop at 14-16.
You need top 25 teams to still be in striking distance going into November without fully going to 18-24 teams.
this is a fair point, but I also just think it was an all-time strange year and the vast majority of seasons we will not need more than four teams. Part of the problem was the shitty conferences that make no sense is part of the blame for why it went that way anyway with Ohio State playing a game at Oregon. You still could have made an actual argument that Ohio State still should have just been the four seed in a four-team playoff with 1. Oregon 2. Georgia 3. Texas and 4 probably Notre Dame, but the only argument over having Notre Dame at four instead of Ohio State was that Notre Dame had only one loss compared to two for tOSU, and disregarding that one of tOSU's was at the #1 seed by one point with the ball in their territory.
tOSU being an 8 seed gets a lot of notoriety but they really were 5 at worst, if seeded properly without shit like a two-loss ASU team in the top 4 and a Penn State team, who they beat at home, who had the same amount of losses, and who had won nothing, ahead of them.
I agree, the only real issue was the seeding ~ that was a joke and screwed up the natural elimination ladder that the whole thing is really designed to operate from. Hopefully they fix that this year if they continue to insist on including lower conference participants regardless of whether or not they are top 12 teams in the real world.
That is two years in a row that Oregon was screwed with the post season game slot by virtue of teams that were given artificially high automatic slots that in truth were not top 12 teams.
Well maybe they shouldn't have talked so much shit about UW not winning big bowl games 2016-18 versus them around the same time. It's different when you get Wisconsin instead of insane powerhouses. Also, Tennessee gave tOSU a tougher game in Columbass, so they can also kindly shut the fuck up.
