re: 6 team playoff (not 8 team playoff) is perfect

3 at large lesser conference champions based on SOS.

fair

Fair how? That's one of the dumber proposals I've seen. Just come out and say it. This has nothing to do with fair and everything to do with Alabama being the national champion in 2011

apparently CFB needs to be completely fair and equal to everybody, no matter what. Nevermind you lost 3 or 4 games, that doesn't matter. You still have an equal shot at the title as a team that's 13-0. Real fair I tell ya.

quote:

---

Idiot fans just want it expanded so their undeserving team can get in.

---

Exactly.

If a team can't make the cut at 4 teams, then how the frick can they be one of the top 2.

This year the BCS system would suffice.

quote:

---

Not all conferences are created equal.

---

You say that like it's a deal killer, but it really has no bearing on a legitimate playoff.

quote:

---

The SEC could conceivably field a 3 loss Champion that got buttfricked by an ACC team that isn't playing in their conference championship the week prior.

---

So what? Every conference has a champion, let them play in a tournament to find out who's the best.

quote:

---

Put the best teams in the playoff.

---

THAT'S what's stupid. You people are so used to opinion polls, you don't even know how to get away from them. How do you know who the "best teams" are? Who decides? You think VOTING on who's the best is better than letting them find out on the field?

quote:

---

Notre Dame isn't in a conference.

---

They'd join one if they wanted to play for national championships.

quote:

---

The big 12 doesn't play a conference championship game.

---

It shouldn't matter how a conference determines its champion, but they would eventually have a championship game.

quote:

---

There isn't an equal playing field amongst the conferences, or even the divisions for that matter.

---

That line of reasoning is stupid and leads you to the conclusion that there's no such thing as a bone fide conference champion.

Mark my words, what's best for college football is an 8 team tournament of champions, 5 P5 teams, and 3 at-large based on SOS. No byes, no wild cards. That shite is for children playing cards.

entertaining is as irrelevant as irrelevant can get when it comes to this.

You've ENTIRELY lost your perspective.

quote:

---

Adn as the other poster said, it's not inclusive...it's the opposite actually as it would allow the most teams in history to have a shot at the title that late in the season.

---

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but in my system, yes a 3-loss team could make the playoffs (there has been exactly ONE 3-loss champion in the entire history of the SEC) so that means that it's still relatively wide open at the end of the season.

quote:

---

but you know what I'm saying

---

Yeah, you still want people who have nothing to do with football VOTE on who gets to play for the championship.

That's just outright STUPID.

quote:

---

Each team should be in the playoff based on the merit of what they've done

---

Exactly - by winning their conference championship.

quote:

---

If a team loses 3 times in the regular season and is unranked and lucks into a CCG win, they shouldn't automatically be in "just because".

---

You're right, they should be in because they are CHAMPIONS.

I'm telling you my system is too tempting for the NCAA not to consider. It would alleviate all the potential lawsuits by the lesser programs. And who knows, every blue moon a lesser 'Cinderella' team might even win it all. That's what I meant by entertaining.

quote:

---

Fair how?

---

By giving all the conference champions a shot and thereby alleviating the threat of antitrust suits by the smaller programs.

quote:

---

everything to do with Alabama being the national champion in 2011

---

I'm sorry, but our current system of having a panel of non-football people pick who's going to the playoffs is the result of 2011. I'm surprised a fan of the team with the most SEC championships would be scared of having that as qualification.

It's simple, win your conference and advance. 1st seed plays 8th seed. Why shouldn't Western Michigan get a shot at knocking off Alabama? Would you rather see the B1G send three teams to a four-team playoff?

quote:

---

That's one of the dumber proposals I've seen

---

And yet you think a panel of people who don't know anything about football should vote to determine who gets in. Yeah, that's intelligent.

quote:

---

You still have an equal shot at the title as a team that's 13-0

---

Yeah, especially if that 3-loss SEC champions is playing the 13-0 MAC champion.

quote:

---

apparently CFB needs to be completely fair and equal to everybody, no matter what

---

It does if you want to avoid massive law suits by lesser programs.

Apparently CFB needs to be based on the opinions of people who don't have anything to do with football. Why would anyone think that instituting a playoff and maintaining opinion polls as the sole qualifier, would be a good idea?

Condoleezza Rice? Are you fricking kidding me?

That just blows my mind.

The 5 and 6 seed get the byes.

Why did Alabama in 2011 get to scout LSU in the SECCG? Alabama players were resting and taking deer antler spray while LSU was having to knock heads with Georgia in December 2011.

2 team playoff is perfect

Nah. A 6-team playoff waters it down. I think the current 2-team playoff is perfect for the college football infrastructure. It makes every game count, and keeps CF an overall more competitive atmosphere -- also, making it harder for undeserving teams to squeak in. Sometimes they do creep in the top 10. If they alter it to 6, just watch them alter it to 8 soon after and make it an even more meaningless circus act. They need to keep it the way it is. It must be cream of the crop on top to be in conversation as best in the land.
