Previously sure there were years where teams #3 and #4 that would feel cheated out of a chance to play in Champ game..but other teams (in this case, Cincinnati/Coastal) would know they wouldn’t be top two

To your point, the 3 and 4 seeds are a combined 4-8 in CFP semifinals.

In the 8 losses, they've been beaten by 39, 20, 38, 17, 31, 27, 11, and 35 points

Blows my mind that people argue for an expanded playoff given this information.

I think the one way to make the regular season "matter" more in the current system is to move the semifinal games on campus where the higher seed hosts. There's no way the bowl games are going to allow that though.
