Well no shite. Nobody knew how bad the playoff system would suck.

That’s not true. There were a few of us on here who were against a playoff.

Unlike College Baseball and Basketball,
Teams are limited to playing one game a week in football.

Unlike the nfl where you have 32 teams
In a clear conference and division setup to fairly place objective standards on qualifying for the playoffs, you’ve got 130 teams in conferences of varying strength, making the criteria for choosing the
Teams entirely subjective….well, except for historical bias and the all mighty dollar playing a role.

No, the BCS was not perfect it worked pretty well after 2005 when they finally settled
on a formula, with one notable exception.

Whatever problems the BCS had were only magnified by the CFP.
