re: My Solution For a Fair Play-off

You’re overthinking this. D2 and D3 already do this along with every high school in America.

This is the correct answer. I played D2 ball. We had a 16 team playoff. The country was divided into 4 regions. The top four teams in each region got in. In each region, 1 played 4, 2 played 3. Then, those winners played. After that, we played the winner of another region. The two left standing faces off in the championship game. Four game playoff to win the national championship.

They have expanded since I played, but the basic premise is the same.

FCS does something similar.

They could draw it up tomorrow. But, there is one small thing standing in their way. Big money. There is big money that is tied to these bowl games and these schools. I believe that the money men are the ones making this needlessly difficult.
