This is why college football needs a 12 team playoffs like the NFL...

Teams get hot at the end of the season. LSU is a prime example. Also why would Bama be ranked higher than Miss? Didnt Miss just beat them a few weeks ago? These polls etc SUCK. College football is too much politics, lets pkay a realy 12 team playoff. Top 4 teams get a bye, the rest play wildcard weekend at the higher seeds home stadium, then you advance to the higher seeds home stadiums the next week, the play your final 4 in bowl games and then the NCG. Why not??? 4 teams is just a tease, its still not enough...

There should never have been a playoff - now we have begun the never ending process of adding more and more teams to the bracket.
Before I die I think I will see a 32 teams playoff. Its gonna suck. The best team will hardly ever win it.
EDIT - It would make more sense to me to
1) make the selection after bowls, and return the bowls to their pre-bowl alliance status. Making the selection after a bowl round means one more round of mostly big games to separate the men from the boys.
2) bring back ties in everything but championship games. The existence of ties adds more "resolution" to the rankings.

Anytime you attempt to determine the best through subjective polls you're heading for less than satisfying results.

More kids will get hurt and not be able to play in the NFL because of your desire to watch a couple more football games. Don't be selfish.

The selection of teams for the playoff is done by a subjective poll. ITS LITERALLY THE WORST ASPECTS OF BOTH SYSTEMS. The NFL's regular structure allows an objective selection process - this isn't possible in the NCAA.
I don't think 4 teams is really bad or anything, but go to 8 - and you're gonna see a season where an SEC team whose only loss is in the playoff is not #1 and some #8 4 loss seed will when the CG. That will suck and be fricking stupid.

And for the contrarian point of view...more games equals more opportunity for players to prove themselves, potentially increasing their draft value, in turn increasing profit potential...soooo.

I've advocated for 16... 12 might do.
Like 2001, this may end up being one of those years that nobody wants LSU late.

8 team makes more sense than 12.
Posted on 10/26/14 at 11:40 am to Meauxjeaux
Im all about 8 or 12 teams in the playoffs.
Posted on 10/26/14 at 11:42 am to Tiger Nation 84
Terrible idea. If you want to make the playoffs, you have to play well all year long.

Agree. Not certain where I land on expanded playoffs but the subjective positioning of teams will always be less than we desire when naming a champion. If we desire the word champion to be synonymous with the word best.

So you wouldnt have to play well all year to make an 8 or 12 teams playoff? OK..
Posted on 10/26/14 at 11:45 am to Tiger Nation 84
12 teams would suck. 6 teams would be perfect with 1 & 2 getting byes

And what about a team like marshall? 100 bucks says if they go undefeated they miss the 4 team playoff.
Posted on 10/26/14 at 11:45 am to Tiger Nation 84
Isn't that the point you made in the OP?
Posted on 10/26/14 at 11:46 am to Tiger Nation 84
Why waste a playoff spot on them?
