re: Why no playoffs?Posted on 8/3/08
15 years ago, I felt like the ONLY true NATIONAL champion could only be acheived if every conference had representation. The BCS formula was the correct system for a 2 team playoff. With 130+ teams and 11 conferences, its too small of a sample size for a 2 or 4 team playoff. the nfl has a 14 team playoff for 32 teams. Which ever team goes 4-0 in this playoff deserve to be THE TRUE NATIONAL CHAMPION if its the sunbelt or SEC representative. These were the top teams of 2008 when this example was made. If I have time, I will insert the 2023 teams to this format.

The 16 team playoff will have every conference champion go, as well as having 5 at large bids.
Here's an example of the 16 team playoff....Firts the qualifies and those that just missed out...........

Too much to try to digest. Here is a far simpler version that crowns an indisputable champion.
A sixteen team invitational tournament using a selection criteria and seeding format the same or similar to March Madness. By doing so each conference would have at least on representative. Then it’s played out over 4 weeks.
In my opinion that would eliminate situations similar to the current one. If a team can’t make it to the top 16 they really have no business playing for a national championship anyway.

Or how about an unbiased system where we put all of the info in (record, sos, margin of victory, etc ) in to a computer system and see what it spits out? Instead we get the eye test where people just decide who they think is better.

quote:With the new changes coming in 2024 with teams leaving conferences for others, im not sure how man we will have. As of the 2023 season, there are 10 conferences and 133 teams. Just have a format for all 10 conference champions and 6 wildcards play for the NC. The regular season did what it was supposed to do to give us a platform where every conf champion along with the 6 wildcards play for the national title.
