NCAA Playoff Committee Selected

This will be awful and biased

The BCS wasn't broken. The "BCS Busters" have an even lesser chance at making it to the title game now. What a crock.

Mother f'in Tyrone Willingham. Forgot all about him

As long as it stays at 4, I'll be somewhat ok with it.

Although, most years I would say a four team playoff isn't needed.

It won't stop at four though.


It might almost be worth it if we can get rid of the Chik Fil A bowl,

so ridiculous to have current ADs

can someone explain to me how its a good idea to have CURRENT athletic directors on this committee?

No

Can someone explain to me how it's a good idea to have Condoleeza Rice, a known Alabama fan, with nothing to do with College Football..on this committee?

I hate the fact that the NCAA went with a selection committe. I don't see why they couldn't use the current BCS computer formula, or something similar, and just take the top 4 from that. A selection committe is begging for controversy.

I played I-AA ball and our 16 team playoff was selected by a committe of AD's every year. The top 10 were always a given, but the final 3 or 4 wild card spots were always a toss up and it came down to which AD could make a deal for his conference. I can only imagine it being that much more complicated with all the money that is on the line for a National Championship playoff.

Okay how about choose 4

Oh wait, why would you when there are clearly two teams above the rest.

2005

1 USC 12-0
2 Texas 12-0
3 Penn State 10-1
4 Ohio State 9-2
5 Oregon 10-1
6 Notre Dame 9-2
7 Georgia 10-2
8 Miami (Fla.) 9-2
9 Auburn 9-2
10 Virginia Tech 10-2


2002

1 Miami 12-0
2 Ohio State 13-0
3 Georgia 12-1
4 USC 10-2
5 Iowa 11-1
6 Washington St. 10-2
7 Oklahoma 11-2
8 Kansas State 10-2
9 Notre Dame 10-2
10 Texas 10-2


Anyway, maybe "most years" was probably incorrect. I've never seen a need for 8 teams though.

The problem is every year is different, and anybody can cherry-pick a year to back up their argument. But I agree, 4 is enough. Teams at the bottom half of the top-10 don't deserve a chance at a national championship.
