You all hated the BCS for putting Bama #2 in 2011


The BCS was filled with 2/3 bias also.

There needs to be an 8-team Playoff.... The 5 Conference Champs should get in automatically.

Have a Computer Poll Average (similar to the one used in the old BCS) except make it 100% of the formula to decide the seeding and decide the 3 other at-large teams.

I don't agree that they should automatically get in...but at least there would be room for all 5 to get in, if justified.

no.

Before it was..."We need a playoff!"

I can't think of a single year in which people felt like the #6,7,or 8 ranked team would have a legit shot at winning the Championship. You could maybe make an argument for a #5 team one year. In more years than not the top 4 teams are the only teams that have a shot, and in some years the top 3 could be argued. Remember blowouts like:

Oregon 59 FSU 20
Clemson 37 Oklahoma 17
Alabama 38 Michigan State 0
Clemson 31 Ohio St. 0
Alabama 24 Washington 7
Clemson 30 ND 3

Go to an 8 team playoff and you will have a lot more of those. In five years over half of the first round playoff games have been total snoozers. Add another round or two and it gets worse, not better.
