re: Mike and Mike discussion on the CFB Playoffs

I think giving the P5 champs an automatic bid would also make it really advantageous to schedule more difficult OOC games.

If you play a hard OOC schedule and lose a couple, your playoff chances aren't really hurt because can still get in by winning the conference. On the flip side, if you happen to win them and then slip up in conference play those quality games would make a compelling at-large argument.
