The college football playoff is rubbish

Bring me back to a time where every single game was do or die, conference championship games had major implications, and winning a bowl game was an exciting accomplishment.

It would be great with 8. Would've had Bama and BYU playing for a spot and OU holding the 8 slot down proving you can get in with two losses against good teams. Would've worked out great this year.

how does espn show on their screen logos of #9 bama, #10 nd, and #12 miami and ask who should get in? what about #11 byu. sitting at 11-2 with both their losses to tech. espn is worse than msnbc or cnn and their rigged push polls.

I agree. It is all so stupid now. I mean there is talk of 25th ranked James Madison making the playoffs. I mean seriously? What are we doing?
Arguments about which team barely in the top half of the top 25 and some barely even ranked are ridiculous.
I liked it when the entire season was one big playoff. And the arguments at the end of the season were discussing elite teams. Not the 14th or 25th ranked team. Those teams have no business in the conversation.

Do we really need a fifth SEC team in there?

I want the best teams playing. What we “need” is irrelevant, and that kind of thinking is why we’re talking about teams barely in the top 25 getting in.

It’s garbage, and several unworthy teams will end up in the “playoffs.” But it ain’t going back because the whole thing is nothing but a money grab.

Never understood this logic. In the BCS era, 95% of games after week 10 are irrelevant. But every game mattered right? The frick you talking about? 
Playoffs are WAYYYY better than that crap, even with the flaws (which will be addressed). You think you’re the best? Ok, go out on the field and show us.

The only thing that would piss me off is leaving Miami out while putting Notre Dame in.
Either they both get in or Miami is in and ND is out.
Otherwise the games on the field don't even matter and this is just a big invitational tournament

All the playoff has done is shift the spotlight and scrutiny from the teams at the top to a bunch of mediocre teams in the middle part of the rankings.
BCS was the best system. Georgia and Indiana would be the final. Texas Tech would get to bitch insufferably forever about injustice, and Ohio state would be haunted by that flubbed kick forever. It’s the right system.

The answer is the BCS system but put the top 12 teams (per the computers) into a playoff. This is not hard if it weren’t all so corrupt.

It’s great until it happens to your team.

Every game wasn’t do or die back then. There were always about 4 games that mattered the last few weeks of the season and then there was one important bowl game. Last week there were around 30 games that had playoff implications. It’s much better now.

You had me at Ohio State being haunted.

In the old system ND’s season was irrelevant 3 weeks in

Those games did matter, because bowl invitations mattered. Remember when “New Year’s 6” used to be a thing?
This Frankenstein mess of a playoff system not only killed the relevance of bowls, it basically killed much of the regular season, because losing big games no longer means much and non-playoff teams winning “lesser games” no longer means anything.

Yea, I remember when the media used to jam it down our throats that they mattered, but I had the wisdom to realize it was all balogna.
New Year’s Six!!!

Then you’re remembering wrong, because it mattered to the players, coaches and it meant more money going to the schools as well.

Are you seriously not interested to see Texas Tech square up with the big boys and see what they’re made of? Come on

Sure, but you could implement a four-team playoff right now using BCS rankings and get TT vs IU and UGA vs OSU.
IMO, that’s really all you need if the goal is purely to determine a champion. If you can’t play your way into the top four, you simply did not do enough in the regular season, which would once again become relevant along with conference championships.
Everyone else should be jockeying for the best bowl game they can get into.
