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
Oregon 59 FSU 20- TCU, who was left out the playoffs, blew the fricking doors off of Ole Miss in the bowl game, the team that beat Bama....
Clemson 37 Oklahoma 17-Ohio st, the defending champs with only one loss, clearly were better than Mich St
Alabama 38 Michigan State 0-Ohio st, the defending champs with only one loss, clearly were better than Mich St
Clemson 31 Ohio St. 0-Maybe Penn state, the actual big 10 champs who beat OSU, should have had an opportunity
Alabama 24 Washington 7
Clemson 30 ND 3-Ohio State would have blown the doors off ND as well

If you get lower ranked teams you are merely adding more teams that have little to no chance of winning a championship. The blowouts will be worse, and there will be more of them.
Add to that that a top team would have to play another tough game and it adds to the chances that an injury critical to them occurs. You might have a legit title team not win because of added injuries.

Clemson 31 Ohio St. 0-Maybe Penn state, the actual big 10 champs who beat OSU, should have had an opportunity
quote:Instead of adding ohio State, why not do the right thing and leave ND out?
Clemson 30 ND 3-Ohio State would have blown the doors off ND as well
I mean, your arguments are not good for adding teams. your arguments are better for getting the right teams in there. It does not add value to put weak teams in the playoffs. It waters it down.
How many times have a team been left out of the playoffs that had a great chance at winning the playoffs? Rarely if ever. Yet people want to add 4 additional teams to the playoffs?
