Cam Newton Blasts 12-Team College Football Playoff Days Before Final Bracket Announcement

"Yes I do, like we have to stop," Newton said when asked if he has issues with the new format. 

"Imma say it...A lot of people are thinking (it), and I'm going to say it...Nobody wants to see SMU, nobody wants to see Arizona State, nobody wants to see Indiana, nobody wants to see Boise State, straight up," Newton said. 

"I just think we really need to consider teams' strength of schedule, when we're talking about the national championship," he continued.  "Do you, or have you really earned the right to say that, playing the tier of talent that you've played?" 

Newton said he doesn't want to see Boise State, intimating that he's skeptical that Broncos star running back Ashton Jeanty will have similar success against a top tier high major university like Georgia. 

"...It's your weight class. Understand your weight class. You good, but you ain't that good yet. Boise State is not on the same trajectory. Arizona State is not on the same trajectory. Respectful to Indiana...When they played Ohio State, you've seen who they really are."
