Why are we so cynical about everything?
Because it's ran by a "___ guy". There will be WAY too much bias in this thing. This isn't a field of 68 where there's little room for error in leaving someone out. The worst that happens is teams aren't the 1 or 2 seed, and are then the 2 and 3 seed, etc.
This will be a complete and utter joke.

The 4-team playoff will only last 3 years, and then we'll see huge changes. I think prior to the 2017 season, you'll see NCAA shift to four 16-team conferences forming a new NCAA of sorts. Each conference will have 8-team divisions, with each division winner making the playoffs. They'll eventually add in wildcard teams and have it be similar to the NFL playoff system.

quote:the system sucks. But, TPTB are at least getting closer to what we all want, a true playoff that matches the same # of participants proportionately, with other NCAA sports playoffs. [based on currently numbers, that would be 12- to 16-teams, unless or until they reduce the total # of teams in Div I-A/FBS.... personally, I think 6-8 participants is ideal]

If we are stuck with 4 teams (which is better than 2), then having "one of our own" as chairman can only be a good thing.
But, I know some tards are gonna tard anyway....
