But people didn't want a mythical national champion. They wanted it played on the field. Earned!!
Now we have 4 teams getting first round byes...some teams having to play an extra game..
It's not as fair as we all thought.

Have you thought about waiting to see how this format turns out before you cry about it?

The format absolutely sucks just based on seeding alone. Please tell me how and why Arizona State and Boise State have byes. Also, please tell me how Penn State has the easiest road to the semi-finals while Oregon - the #1 overall seed in the playoff - has the most difficult path.

The NFL model doesn’t equate to college football, but greed always wins.
This is a terrible, terrible take. Literally every other collegiate sport has a bracketed playoff to determine a champion. Every single one.
The fricking popularity contest of the previous years is fricking over. Deserving teams that aren’t a big name will finally get a chance. College baseball and college basketball have an amazing tournament to determine the champion. Looking forward to football, finally……

2011 was my personal favorite.

They should have had implemented a playoff decades ago.

Title game was set up perfectly.
nah, more often than not there are going to be more than 2 teams with a legit argument to be in a title game. There are rarely, if ever more than about 4 though. 6 would've been perfect.

Still had compelling Bowl Games with conference tie ins.
bowl games can still be meaningful and awesome, the issue is that the ESPN hype machine tells everyone taht they're irrelveant and all tha tmatters is playoffs so people jsut blindly follow. Then the players quit beforehand which makes them even less interesting.

This year would have been perfect: Georgia plays Oregon for the the title
THIS year, sure. There really isn't much drama about UGA and OU having the 2 best resumes and being the most deserving.

Nothing prevents a combination of BCS and a playoff.
I think this is next.
a "committee" will always cause a quarrel.
Just use the BCS and rank the playoff teams. You can even sprinkle in some human polls into the algorithm so you have a human element to it.

Agree with this wholeheartedly. Just like everything else in life we make changes without thinking about the ramifications of those changes.

But now it’s all fricked. And now you can transfer at whim, And now you gotta pay a salary for a roster and recruit your own team all season.
Ask Bama, Miami, and Ole Miss how this worked out for them.

We just did.
Boise St who is rated #22 in FEI and #21 in F+, and also ranked BELOW Oklahoma in the Sagarin ratings just got the #3 seed in the playoffs and a bye week.
USC and Ole Miss each have twice as many wins over ranked teams than Clemson, Boise St, Indiana and SMU combined and they are sitting at home. Alabama 3 times as many.
It's terrible just as everyone predicted. None of the benefits the supporters claimed have come true. Even if Alabama, USC and Ole Miss made it in, it would still have been terrible, just not as terrible.

Boo frickin' hoo. They win just one of the games they were supposed to, and it's not a discussion.
If the big boys just handle their business as their recruiting and pedigree suggest they should be able to do, we won't be seeing Indiana, SMU, Boise St, and the like make the playoffs.

When the big boys play each other during the regular season, one of them is going to come away with a loss.
Compared to a schedule that 20 teams could go undefeated on.

This is a good point.
