Sorry, but I don't see where this will be any better. The usual suspects will continue to get preferential treatment.

Playoffs have to have set, finite, criteria to determine the participants or it isn't any different than what has been going on forever.

quote:

The selection committee will receive a "jury charge" from the commissioners. In ranking the teams, the committee will consider strength of schedule, where the games were played, conference championships and whether teams lost games because of injuries to key players.

In the playoff, the top four ranked teams -- as determined by the selection committee -- will meet in the semifinals.


So, conference championships are borderline meaningless? Here we go...

Can't wait for the SEC to finish the season with three of four spots and have a team get left out. Even worse, have Bama, LSU, and A&M ranked 1,2,3. Bama wins conference, LSU only loss is to Bama, A&M loses close games at LSU and Bama. 4th is 2 loss Ohio St, 5th is ND. You think the selection committee leaves out A&M?

Nope don't trust a committee. Let the bcs determine the top 4 teams and play a playoff
