It seems like outside of the top two teams there is a considerable drop off, just maybe the BCS was onto something after all.

Ohio State wouldn't have even had a shot at the NC last year if it weren't for the playoff.

This is by far more exciting, but I always thought the BCS got the right decision.

The way to fix this is...is well, more games. But these are collegiate athletes and it's not fair to wreck their bodies before the NFL so we can't do that.

Alabama, despite having one loss, is clearly head and shoulders above many teams. Clemson had a pretty easy schedule, although they did look dominant while handling it.

Just need to stop ranking teams until at least October.

The BCS got it right most of the time, but the playoff is a welcome change. It's not without issue, though. Look at last year. The best team, TCU, didn't even make the playoff.

I would have rather used the BCS ranking system to determine the top 4 for the current playoff system.

The four-team playoff is better than the total glamor-fest that was the BCS but all other levels of football, from middle school to the pros, crown a true champion while the FBS plods along with a popularity contest.

The playoff needs to be expanded and the bowls should be expired. Even with just the four-team playoff, they look more ridiculous than ever.

Ohio State bitched Alabama last year. So there's that.

Is the season really necessary?

I mean recruiting classes of 1,1,1, and 1 sort of take the mystery out of it.
