12-0. They have beaten every team by double digits except their first game. This is the reason we have a playoff. They are dominating teams. Give them a shot

Who do you leave out to let them in?

I think they should get in over a 2 loss conference champ or a team that couldn't win their division, but I can't imagine leaving them out over a 1 loss P5 conference champ.

They've beaten nobody

What would their record be with a sec schedule? They would finish 4th in the west

If Northwestern was as good as they've been in the past few years and Illinois had a pulse, I'd see your point.

They played their schedule. Dominated. This is why the playoff system right now is no different than before. Non P-5's still don't get a shot.

That makes regular season games meaningless, which is what separates college football from every other sport.

People keep saying this as usual, but the regular season DOES NOT become meaningless until you have an overflow of playoff games. Look at the NFL. They do fantastic in the regular and postseason. It's about balance. I will add that I'm advocating for an 8 team playoff (5 conf champs, 3 at-large).

Additionally, do you want the regular season to matter more than the postseason? Do you want controversy? As an AU fan, '04 was not a pleasant experience.

What a ridiculously asinine thing to say. I'm not sure if Western Michigan is legit or not, but to say we shouldn't expand the playoffs is simply ignorant.

well we shouldn't... when have we ever had five teams with an argument for the national title?

and we're deciding a national title, not giving prizes for winning 1 game or reaching the quarterfinals, etc.

the fourth team in needs to thank their lucky stars
