My biggest fear about CFP has come true!

Just like in college basketball, a conference championship is now irrelevant to selection committee. It sends the wrong message when penn state is left out for Ohio st who didn't even win the big 10 east. Much like Bama in 2011 who got in over Oklahoma st and didn't even win sec west.
College football used to be all about what your team accomplished not the dreaded eyeball test! My favorite game is now unrecognizable!

Penn State had two losses...one a blowout loss. Ohio State's schedule looked more impressive to me as one of the best teams in the country. PSU didn't have the depth to compete with Alabama because they're still recovering from sanctions.

The BCS had the same 4 teams that the playoff does.
If we still had the BCS system, the results would be the same.

That wasn't his point

Yet penn state had the depth to beat Ohio state, this argument doesn't hold water

The only fix is to go to an 8 team playoff with each of the power 5 conference champs getting an automatic spot and then 3 at large selections

Ohio st is probably much better than Penn St despite the loss if you look at the whole season. But yes, penn st is more deserving. That's why I wish there were more teams (8) and you had conference champs as automatic entries plus a few wild cards.

8 conferences - 16 teams per. That's 128 teams, which CFB is already pretty close to.
Each division crowns a champ and each conference gets a championship game.
8 conference winners are seeded into a bracket.
Done.

Why subject this to a committee if the bcs gets the sane teams?
Why ever risk possible bias.. just bring back the bcs and get rid of the stupid committee.
Also im not a big expansion playoff person but I'm starting to agree with 6 or 8

I agree with Champj3. 
Presently, the selection is purely subjective.
That said, the Bama's, Ohio State'shape, etc. will always get top recruits. Things will never level out because regular conference don'the matter!.
That is not the direction in college football I want to see.

It's difficult when teams can play such different schedules even within the same division of a conference. I think the better set up would be to reduce the regular season to 8 games. Then divide all teams into tiered 8 team playoff groupings. Every team will play 3 games within that grouping to determine final ranking. Based on the results of those grouping you will go to a bowl game or final 4 match up for the champion. Yes its a bit more complex but it will treat the players fairly and eliminate schedule bias. Also it eliminates the creeping additional games that have been added each season. College players shouldn't be playing 15 games.

Would be nice too see conference champs mean more

So you are giving the Sun Belt a seat at the playoff table? Good God, man.

Winning the conference championship that Penn State into the Rose Bowl, so I would hardly say it's meaningless.
Posted on 12/6/16 at 6:55 am to champj3
I hate how everyone is on the over reaction bandwagon on this crap, this isn't the 2004 Auburn team that didn't make the final dance here! They had two loses people! How about don't lose two games and expect to get to compete for the national championship! The eyeball test says they arn't as good and it's backed up by the good ole fashion win-loss column in black and white. Conference championships do mean something...if there was debate between multiple teams with one loss and one had won the conference championship they would get in. Phuck, this shite is simple people!

Pathetic idea. Some conferences champs couldn't beat average teams.
Posted on 12/6/16 at 7:01 am to champj3
Even if they want to move to an 8 team playoff, they should wait until the 4 team playoff has made the big 12 fall apart or become irrelevant enough to not warrant an automatic spot.

Expanding the CFP won't stop any of these whiny tards from crying...if you go to 6 teams they will complain about the 7th...if you go to 8 teams they will complain about the 9th...at the end of the day if you're not one of the clear cut top two shut the hell up and do better next year

The CFB playoff definitely has made CFB better. All this talk about devaluating a season and making losses acceptable is retarded.
Bama was one of the 2 best teams in 2011. OSU is one of the best 4...the playoff should have 8 teams
