It will fix the problem of a team like FSU not being able to control their own destiny which makes people care about your complaints less.

You’re 10-2/9-3 and think you should’ve made it over the other 10-2 team? Who cares? Should’ve beat one of the teams you lost to. Kind of like Georgia this year. The cries for them are still there but given less credibility because they’ve should’ve beat Bama.

The problem I see coming with the 12 team playoff is having to potentially beat the same team 3 times. For example Washington/Oregon. Definitely a scenario where Oregon still gets in. What if Washington/Oregon end up facing off again in the playoff. Washington beats Oregon 2 out of 3 times but Oregon wins the national championship? Would make no sense.

At the end of the day, any given team should be able to control their destiny on the field and not by some bull shite eye test. This new playoff system gives us that somewhat.

My thoughts is the 12 team playoff will be as much, or more, of a shite show than the four team playoff was this year. You think there were heated arguments about a small handful of 12-0 and 11-1 teams, imagine the arguments when there are a whole bunch of 10-2 and 9-3 teams being haggled over.

When the narrative is weighed 10-2 and 9-3 teams may will be the biggest shitshow ever imagined. The committee proved that the narrative is the main point...what will have fans talking and watching talk shows and listening to talk shows. What happens on the field only gets you in the narrative...the narrative is what gets you in the playoff if you are not a conference champion and if you are not in the SEC or Big10 even winning your conference may not be enough.
