take issue with the word playoff....It should be called invitational. All other playoffs I know about have a defined way on the field for a team to get into before the season starts. We still dont have that in college football.
That may be a fair but im not concerned about the titling. I contend the expansion to four was simply increasing the field (doubling it) to prevent an error of omitting the best two teams. Not to necessarily find the 4th best team. Yes they want the best possible four but they nearly guarantee having 1 and 2. So playoff v invitational??

2015 Alabama vs. Ohio State would've been very juicy.
That OSU team was stacked and was probably the only team that hasn't made the playoff that would've been a serious contender to win it.
