re: The Perfect Playoff System

I disagree. Playing a full round-robin schedule within a conference produces the truest, most valid champion, and is a LOT better than a divisional set-up with a CG. An SEC champion has to play 9 conference games, including the CG. A Big XII champion would also have to play 9 conference games. I don't think the Big XII should have to add teams and play a CG to get a bid in the playoff.

I see your point...but I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. The conference championship game is like an extra play-off game, the one who wins the game is champion, no argument...

In a round-robin only, there's a chance where you could have more than 2 teams with just 1 conference loss where head-to-head doesn't settle it (i.e., Texas beats Oklahoma, Oklahoma State beats Texas, Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State). I know it happened in the SEC before the SECCG came about. It may not be a common occurrence, but when that happens, who would go to the play-off?

Like I said, you make a good point...I just think a championship game is cleaner (for lack of a better word) and would also add a bit more excitement/intensity leading up to the play-offs...but I could be wrong...
