The Perfect Playoff System

Hey, Bill. Stfu.

...Doesn't exist.

Any "fair" playoff system would require re-aligning conferences and centralizing scheduling so that every team played roughly equivalent opposition. Then you you have the conference champions in the playoffs. And add some stupid "wild card" system like the pros.

Since the whole purpose of the playoff system is to add games and generate TV revenue, I expect we will see something like this soon. The recent move by the "Big 5" conferences is just the latest step into turning CFB into NFL Jr.

And it's a damned shame.

This is solid and speaks to facts, I like the 3 At Large but somehow they need to be fact based choices, not opinions

- 8 teams
- 5 conf champions and the 3 highest ranked at larges using the BCS formula
- Rank them 1-8 using BCS formula
- Round of 8 (first 4 games) are played January 1st on top 4 teams campuses
- Round of 4 (2 games) played in rotating BCS bowls on January 7th
- Round of 2 (title game) played in rotating BCS bowl on January 14th

This satisfies playoff need, conference championship importance, timeline for student athletes, brings major money to top 4 teams with onsite games, and still uses the BCS games.

The Perfect Playoff System

- AT LEAST 2 teams from FBS Div II Conferences

wtf is a FBS Div II conference?

So let teams schedule cream puffs an still allow them in with a loss?

What don't you like about the current system?

Sorry, I can't agree with this; I want the best teams in the playoffs and if a particular conference is weak in a given season, you end up not having the best teams. However, I believe that's pretty much we are going to have with this playoff selection committee. The selection committee members are going to be instructed to disregard the polls so even if say Auburn and Alabama are #1 and #4 in the polls, there will be only one SEC team in the playoffs, bank on it. The committee WILL be biased toward the conference champions and since the Big 12 doesn't have a conference championship, they will be the odd man out all other factors being pretty equal. I promise you the other conferences NEVER EVER want to see another all SEC championship.

I prefer a playoff system that gives a team two chances to get in. all other sports give teams two chances. your scenario gives them only one.

for example:

12 conf. champs
4 at large

this way...if you don't win the conference, you can still get in as an at large. OR, if you lose to a shitty team outside of conference, your season is not over yet and you still can get in with a conf. title. ala basketball.

TWO CHANCES!!!!
