re: Need an 8 Team Playoff

quote:

Make the winners of the power 5 conferences an automatic qualifier and sees them by their ranking. That leaves 3 spot as "wild cards". Highest ranked teams, outside of the conference winners go.

6 or 8 game playoff system is the only way to do it. The present four team "playoff" system process is illogical and flawed to the point of absurdity. ... Even the BCS selection method is better - more objective & unbiased, using thorough, concrete data - until a legitimate 6 or 8 team playoff method, which includes all major conference champions as well as "wild cards" or schools from non-major division 1A conferences who might have an undefeated season, is implemented. Without a doubt, this method is the most rational, impartial, accurate, and valid way of determining the teams most deserving of a playoff spot as well as the national champion.

To minimize the risk of injury, cutting 2 regular season OOC games would be required, but is worth it if the true intent is to have a fair playoff system to determine a national champion. Also, ten game regular seasons are nothing new; it was the norm for many, many years. ... Bowls can be incorporated into this system as well.

As long as the 4 team "playoff" system is in practice, the process will continue to be unmitigated, unreasonable, biased bullshite.
