You make this playoff 8 teams and you give them an at large and they win. I have no problem with that because the teams that deserve to be in are in. All of them Every team you'd rather see make it had just as much of a chance as Bama when the season started. OSU and USC did it to themselves. OSU beats Iowa and we don't have this problem. USC beats Wazzu and this conversation becomes an alternate reality. Quote Link to comment

Comes down to if the NCAA wants what they and the committee consider the best 4 (or 8) teams, or the conference winners plus a couple at larges. Bama winning against Clemson only helps their case.

commando Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 why have a regular season if they just pick and choose who the best teams are rather than have them earn it on the field? not going to watch it for 2 reasons.... 1. the teams that earned the chance to be there are not there 2. i have 0 interest in the teams that are there 2 Quote Link to comment

The 4 team format leaves too much to the imagination for me personally and the committee does not have my trust. 2 Quote Link to comment

Adding another game means 2 teams could play potentially 16 games. Cut it to an 11 game season, get rid of playing the Blue Mountain States each year and I am sold.

I was talking about this year under the current system. Quote Link to comment

Imo the decisions they have made have given more value to the regular season. The lesson is dont lose twice. 1 Quote Link to comment

But maybe an opponent who had less to play for and not as motivated. You need to tell Utah to hang a 2009 National Champion banner. Bama steamrolled Clemson. That hurts your argument.

ND would have gotten in before UCF. Only way UCF makes it is in an 8 team system or back to back undefeated seasons Quote Link to comment

If you have to win a CCG to make the playoff you devalue the regular season. Just get to the CC and you have a shot to play your way in even if you've lost 3 times. Quote Link to comment
