So the regular season doesn’t matter and we should return to the preBCS model? A completely subjective system with no standards? We can just package it was a playoff and keep expanding it til we get to 16? 32? Teams to feel like the best teams get a shot?

What a joke. Championships are inherently exclusive not inclusive. Nobody wants to see a G5 bet blown out? Cool boot them from consideration altogether. Have the P5 become the P4 and form a true D1 football setup. The fact should remain that anytime you go past the first 2 criteria you are just filling spots in a 4 team playoff anyway. If you don’t win your conference you shouldn’t be in the playoffs.


But how about:
1. Unbeaten, untied P5 conference winners
2. 1 loss/tie P5 conference winners
3. 1 loss/tied division winners that didn’t win the conference.
4. Unbeaten untied independents
5. 2 loss/tied P5 conference winners

Does that make you more receptive to this? Surely we can pull 4 worthy teams via this system every year?(and we know at least 1 team will get blown out but 4 teams minimizes this a bit)

The standard is this. Money. Advertisers won’t pay for games people won’t watch. And people won’t watch what you described. People watch good football. Not what teams “deserve”.
