Eliminate the committee

Go back to the early 2000s BCS formula where strength of schedule and margin of victory matters.

Stay with Top 4 playoff

Unfortunately, this won't ever happen because the biz of NCAA football revolves around pointless rankings/bullshite and the commentary/backlash that comes with it.

Yep. Been saying that the 4 team playoff was a great idea....but then eliminating the BCS in favor of a human committee was a terrible idea

Ohio state had no business being in this game. I'll never understand why they basically got a bye during championship weekend.

Who would have been the Top 4 according to the BCS formula?

You do realize that every year we have the CFB playoff it had the exact teams the BCS would have had. The seeding was a little different, but the teams were a match

I don't know what the exact problem is... they can't ever guarantee the games will be good

It would have been better to just keep the freakin BCS rankings and use them to pick the top 4. Human element was stupid.

Ohio St was the #2 team in almost all computer polls at the end of the season. So, they still would have been in this year and gotten their arse kicked.

Just take the top 4 power conference champs and call it a day.

Why do we make this so hard?

The biggest false flag situation since 9/11 is the cfb powers killing the bcs to give us the playoffs.

Stay woke in 2017.

this is what happens when you have retards like alvarez,Long, Willingham,etc on the committee.

These jackasses, especially the coaches couldn't fill out their own coaches ballots, because of laziness back when the Coaches poll mattered, so you give them Full Control now?

You're right that it's broken but you're talking about the wrong system

The problem is that Bama is able to exist and nothing can stop them. This playoff is a farce, no one can beat them. They have more talent, the best coaches, everything. They're going to win forever until we fundamentally change the sport to be more fair. It doesn't matter what system the postseason is because Bama will win it every time until Saban dies

its pretty clear the playoffs weren't needed this year but there is more money involved now with the playoffs added in. So they won't change this format.. if anything they'll expand the playoffs which would be retarded.

College Football is selling out some IMO.

that's one of the reasons I don't like it as much as I use to.

At least we'll get to see the best two teams play for the championship.
