Agree with SummerOfGeorge. It definitely varies from year to year on who belongs in a playoff. Last two years Bama and Clemson were clearly better than anybody else. This year I agree there are six teams that could win it... I don't think any of these teams would beat the Bama or Clemson teams from the past two years.

Yea - so the solution is either expand to 6 knowing that a lot of years there will be 2-3 really, really good teams and 3 teams that aren't as good but could spoil it. Or, you stay at 4 knowing some years there isn't a dominant team and there are probably 5-6 teams that are all pretty similar with flaws.

Imagine if this was pre-playoff and we had OU/UGA/Clemson fighting for 2 spots. Lawd, that'd be a war.
