It's why 4 isn't enough for the playoff IMO. All conferences are not created equal. A team from a weak ACC or Big 10 will eventually get in and be pummeled while a deserving team from the SEC or Pac 12 will have to watch from home.

It should be about getting the best 4 teams in. Unfortunately hats hard to determine with such a disparity in schedules. Needs to be 8, that gives the selection crew a margin for error.

Florida State will likely make the playoff based on the fact that they won't lose, however there are 3-5 teams in our league that would be favored over them on a neutral field.

Mississippi State could go 11-1 with their only loss coming to a top 3 Alabama team on the road, they would have beaten 3 teams that finish in the top 25 in that scenario. Can anyone with a straight face say that wouldn't be more impressive than what FSU has done this year? It's just bullshite. I do hope they get in though, and I hope Alabama meets them in the first round, though any scenario where they both end up in the playoff likely means they sit at 1 and 2

Watch more football. FSU can def lose this year and the chances of them winning out pre-play off (reg + ccg) is not better than 60%. Miami at home, vs UF, and the ccg Duke/Tech are all teams they could lose against realistically. If you don't realize that then you haven't watched enough CF in your life time.

Needs to be 16. Win your conference and you are in. Be a highly ranked non champ and you're in. Prove your worth in the playoff and be crowned champion.
