re: College Football Playoff using top 4 Conference winners: BCS era

Yeah, I'm just done with taking CFB titles seriously...when we make massive subjective judgments and then exclude others with such apparent certainty.

At least in the old poll system...the national champion wasn't decided before the bowls with this designated national champ game.

All the bowls mattered because you could climb from #5 to #1...based on what happened. I think Miami and Bama both did this once.

Now, we exclude the importance of all the bowls...and say...only this bowl matters and we decided the winner of this is the champ. So...the champ is decided before all these great matchups of ranked teams in bowl games (and yes, before the BCS - there used to be great matchups in all the other bowls.)

When the media almost decided to exclude everyone in 2006 because they decided that the Big 10 and Ohio State and Michigan were the best...and no one else mattered...that was ridiculous.

When they did it again in 2011...with the SEC and Bama and LSU to the exclusion of other conference champs...

Well...that's just nonsense. We can all have an idea who is the best but nobody knows...that's why they play the game...otherwise, Bama beats Auburn two weeks ago...because eyeball test and on paper says so.

CFB is turning a lot of people off. You eventually need to include the whole country to keep interest...all conference champs...especially the so-called big 6.

It would be nice if we got to a Big 4...I'd be happy with that. Getting rid of at-larges might actually be a nice thing - to finally kill the eyeball test.

Really? You're the best? Well, sorry - you shouldn't have lost the game.
