Why do people who oppose Alabama getting in suggest we should have a bigger playoff?

Wouldn't that just open the door for more mulligans?

With a 8 team playoff, Alabama probably could've lost another game

My .02 is if you will reward teams who don't play and penalize those who lose, then just announce before the conference championships. That or drop one of the non conference games and expand to 8

Move it to 8 and every 1 loss P5 team is going to get in.

Alabama has lost more than 1 regular season game 1 time since 2008.

Sounds good to me.

They need to just fix the system somehow. IMO it should be 6 with all the P5 champs and one at large. Give 1 and 2 a bye

It's jut bullshite that literally every other team played a conference title game except Bama. Let's compare Bama to Clemson. Both with 1 loss. Had Clemson lost to Miami they would have been out, whereas Bama would have gotten in for not even playing. How is it fair to punish a team for playing in a conference title game while basically rewarding them with nothing. Wisconsin had everything to lose and nothing to gain and paled OSU well. Both wiscy and Bama had one loss. People bitch about wisconsins schedule but Bama did not beat one team with over 9 wins. They just have to somewhow fix this because right now it's broken

This.

I’m not bothered that bama got in for finishing second in the SEC West...I think everyone fully expected that. From the money side of things, though, every team and conference who were effectively penalized for playing a conference championship game just lost out on a big chunk of money. If I were them, I might be seriously considering some sort of confrontation with the NCAA and the playoff committee over being deprived of that because of bama’s reputation.

Or, they could just be pussies about it and do nothing.

If Auburn backdoored their way into the playoff, no Auburn fans would be complaining. It seems Auburn fans are mad because it’s Bama who got in....and that y’all will hear about it for the next year.

The problem with College Football is the entire D-1 has become so watered down. The NCAA needs to go through the power 5 conferences and cut each leage in half and create new conferences/ leagues. There is no reason mid major confrences and lower level power 5 conferences are playing for the same prize. JMO
