Ok. I misunderstood you, then. Here is yoru quote:
The best 4 teams of the P5 championship games should be in the CFP and that will settle it...simple.
You said the four best teams of the P5 championship games. You didn't say winners. And I could agree with what i thought you said, and to a degree what you actually said. I wasn't necessarily arguing against your idea.

There is almost no chance of having multiple 3 loss teams win those games.
ZeusStamos' point was that it has already happened when a 5 loss team won their conference in the championship game with an upset.

So? Did a 7-5 Wisconsin team not win the Big Ten? They did. And if that one day becomes an automatic ticket into the playoffs, they would be in.

The first three years of the playoff Bama was a 0 or 1 loss SEC champion. How exactly is that a red carpet to the playoff every year? Oh and a one loss SEC champion made the playoff again this year.

No.
Why don't people read and then stick to the original point?

I think CC critics feel that winning your conference shouldn't automatically get you in but the fact that losing it automatically gets you eliminated is a problem. How do you penalize a team for losing a game that another team was not good enough to be in then reward the other team. As an Aubie, I'm not arguing that auburn should be in the playoff. We had a few good wins but shite the bed a few times, most recently when it mattered most. What I'm arguing is that a team that starts out championship weekend on the couch and ends it in the playoffs based on the results is bull shite. Do away with the games.

Or when you get completely shutdown by Clemson or blow a 20 point lead against LSU.

It's to settle who is the champion of a conference not necessarily the best team. Simple so that you idiots can understand it.

Who exactly do you think Wisconsin could beat among the other three playoff teams?

at the notion that Wisconsin had a better resume. Division winner? Yeah...in a division that Jim Delaney and the B1G intentionally set up to be a division full of cupcakes so the East winner would have a cakewalk in the B1GCG.
Wisconsin's schedule was shite, even compared to Alabama's.

You're right about it sucking that Bama got in by sitting on the couch. But ultimately, I truly believe that if Auburn had beaten LSU, they would be in the playoff despite losing to UGA in the SECCG with an 11-2 record.

Yes, the winners...I implied it should have said explicitly

Would be a very interesting resume to let the committee evaluate that's for sure. We still haven't seen a conference championship loser get in so I remain skeptical.

If you take away the LSU loss, then Auburn would be penalized ONLY for playing in the championship game. Auburn would have the victory over Bama head to head, an identical record heading into the championship game, and they obviously played a harder schedule. I think without the LSU loss Auburn definitely gets in.

Agreed. Bama had 11 wins and Auburn only 10. Otherwise, I'd say Auburn must get the nod but doesn't matter now unfortunately for them.

Georgia
TCU
Miami
Wisconsin
in the playoffs!

The same it has always been? To name a conference champion. Do you really think that a 5 loss Wisconsin team would deserve to be in the playoffs, while a one loss Alabama be left out?
It's called Bama hate. Sorry, I mean "selective bias" ... I'll bet this person did not complain when Ohio State got in last year.
