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

Flexibility is for gymnasts. Standards and objective criteria are for things that matter.

You are in favor of moving the goalposts depending on subjective criteria from year to year? What a giant crock of camel dung.

The whole purpose of this thread is to show that taking just conference winners works just fine. In 16 years, the only 1 where objective people could have a real issue is 2011

Standards are great, but you can paint yourself in a corner. You do not have to stick with 100% black and white or "move the goal posts" on a whim. You can have criteria as they have laid out. Circumstances do change and you can not account for everything. So having some flexibility is not necessarily a bad thing. Your concerns are based on fear, for lack of a better word, of the unknown, you don't know what the committee will do. As I said before, we have reason to believe they will do something radically stupid.

Ultimately don't we all want the champion to be at least 1 of the best teams? The problem is, who's the best team is not always clear, so having some kind of playoff is the most fair way to do it. Taking just the top 4 conference winners is fine with me, but I don't think the committee will be bad either at least until we see what they do.
