Because the playoff is four teams, not two, and two games not one.


You are falling for the playoff trap.

100% of the reason for a 4 team playoff was to make certain that the "2 best teams" make it into the playoff.

It has nothing to do with the 4 best teams.

If you want the 4 best teams in college football, then you invite 8 into the playoff.

If you want the 8 best teams in college football, then you invite 16.

This cycle of uninformed bitching about the selection process will never stop until someone remembers what the goal is (to make sure we have the best 2 teams included unlike what the BCS provided us).

A playoff is, by definition, a series of games, not a single game.

Ok, so going forward, the playoffs should consist of only the following games: Consensus No. 1 plays Prairie View A&M; Consensus No. 2 plays Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

The fact that there is a "selection process" shows why it's all horsehit. There should be no selection - either a team qualifies against a fixed set of criteria, or it does not. Most other sports understand that.
