It's to create buzz like Ellitor said but I think it's also to avoid as much backlash.

It's like slowly breaking the bad news to somebody instead of blindsiding them.

I say power 5 conference champs get in. One wildcard (from all other conferences)

Top 2 teams get a bye.


That's as far as I want it to ever go. Once you lose your conference, you should be eliminated. It's stupid you can be National Champ but not Conf Champ.

There is merit to a 6 team system. There has never been a year where more than 6 teams deserved a shot at the title.

See I don't get this line of thinking. There have been many many sport champions that did not win their division or conference. Heck. The 2 teams in the World Series this year did not win their division.

This is what I've been saying from the very beginning. It turns the regular season itself into the playoff.

I am hoping we are not included in the initial top 4. This team lacks focus. We need something to work towards.
Was coming to post this exact thing. I hope we are not in the top 4 either. They need some fire and have not shown that all year.

I was coming to post something similar. I'm hoping not being in the initial top 4 will get the team fired up. You would think losing the NC last year would be motivation enough, but maybe they need a little inspiration.

Edit:When I saw it had basically been covered, I resorted to the meditating dog pic.

It's so the mentally unstable (Bama fans) don't get caught off guard at the last minute and go into a rage.

I would rather them do it this early so you can get an idea of who they like. But they better be ready for a backlash if 2 SEC schools are in it tonight.

I won't be mad nor will I even watch. It doesn't matter who's in the top 4 today. If we win out and aren't in the final 4 in the final poll, I will be extremely mad

Meh, we win out and we should be looking a lot better than what tonight's first ranking shows.

Who said I agree with those systems?

You didn't provide any reasoning for having wildcard teams.

Yep it's hysterical that they honestly thought a playoff committee consisting of human error and bias could better pick the 4 deserving playoff teams than the BCS formula.


Its pretty much the OLD bowl system, just with the "committee" picking which teams go to which bowls and picking 4 to play each other for a "championship".

They've gone BACKWARD with this shite.
