Did this years CFP show that it does not NEED to expand?

Clemson and Bama were very clearly the 2 best teams. Expanding beyond 4 teams does nothing but take away from the regular season IMO.
Rarely will there be 5 legit contenders.

Don't be pussies and downvote without stating your case.

I agree. 4 is enough. We don't need another round of blowouts to further dilute bowl season

i cant believe i havent seen this post more. so many people are saying 6 and 8. wtf was there any need for that? Oklahoma is the only team with any argument about being left out. the undefeated G5 team got beat by wisconsin. i think top 4 is the way to go. you get 4 teams of the 5 power conferences, and if 5 teams look good you use all the tiebreakers and out of conference games to decide who deserves a chance to play. only 1 team gets left out possibly, and it encourages scheduling strong OOC games

I still think you need to go to 6. Would allow one representative from each P5 conference plus 1 "wildcard." Top 2 get a bye with first road on campus. Then same set up.
Not upset it's still at 4. This is the only change I'd like if it had to be done.

Every year of the playoff has shown that it doesn't need to be expanded.

Four is enough. This has been two years in a row with a blowout in the first round.

No. The BCS would have been enough

This particular season 2 would have been enough. Last season maybe 3, next season it may be 6, the next maybe 2 again. Its on a season by season basis.
I think it'll go to 6 eventually and stay there for a while.

Ill agree that THIS year the BCS would have been enough as Clemson and Bama were clearly the 2 best teams but other years perhaps not. Overall I still think 4 is enough. I reject the notion that every P5 conference has to have a representative as sometimes a conference is bad enough that their champ hasn't earned the right to play for a NC.

I think the issue most people have is the favoritism shown in the current selection process. Penn state should have made it over ohio state. Going to 6 teams does a pretty good job of eliminating that.

No way should at least one team from each P5 conference get in.
Four is perfect. Every single year has proved that. The playoff is 3/3.

Tell me one unbiased source that had PSU over OSU
They were playing better at the end of the year but OSU clearly had the better resume

There is always going to be the beat them head to head and won the conference argument.
That may be the strongest argument for expanding.
I can actually see the point too. If you change Ohio States team name, while having the exactly same schedule and results play out, to say Iowa....they don't get in over Penn State in my opinion.

Yea but Clemson got insanely lucky to be there for being clearly the 2nd best team. NC State was a missed extra point from eliminating them and then your thread would be bogus

It should not expand. If you expand to 6, then it needs to be 8. Once it's 8, you have to make it 12. It's a slippery slope. If you can't prove yourself top 4 without any doubt, you do not deserve a championship.

Frankly, neither deserved to go and that showed in the bowl games.

But the problem with the argument is every single computer, the unbiased sources, had OSU over PSU. The reason we have analytics is to take bias out of the picture.
And I absolutely get the head to head argument, but that only carries weight so far. If Michigan hadn't lost to Iowa, and Michigan, OSU and PSU all had 1 loss in conference, you would have been fine with OSU going even though PSU still beat them? Does that really make any more sense?

I thought it should have been OSU over Penn State. I'm not one that think it is ridiculous OSU made it in.
I'm just saying that the 6 team argument is best made so 5 conference champs are locks to get in (or pretty much locks).
