All-Conference
srsly?The playoff system is an example where everything scales.
Prior to the BCS, you didn't have championship games. You just had bowls and polling picked the National Champions at the end of the season.
Then they introduced the BCS, which solved what most people wanted "We want to actually see the top two teams play". It introduced the issue, however, where we don't get to see the teams that missed the cut, through whatever reasons, even given the chance to compete.
So the CFP is introduced. It has all the same issues that the BCS had, but now we have 4 teams instead of 2. NOPE, IT GOT BETTER. COMPETITION BETWEEN 4 VERY STRONG TEAMS.
So we introduce the 8 team playoff, and it doesn't solve any of the issues. SOLVES ALMOST ALL ISSUES. YOU ARE A CHAMPION BY WINNING GAMES AGAINST OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS
So we introduce a 16 team playoff, and it doesn't solve any of the issues. WOULD MAKE FOR MORE OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL AND FAN BASE LOVE AND INCLUDE THE TEAMS THAT FELT LEFT OUT BY 8
So we intro...
In the end, what are we trying to accomplish? A CHAMPION BY HEAD TO HEAD COMPETITION THE WAY EVERY OTHER FREAKING SPORT DOES IT!
I answered your questions.
Just so I'm clear, you don't want a college football champion determined by head to head competition? You'd rather have it decided by voting polls?
