Meh. What if the best two conference teams are 9-3 and they lost thier ooc scheduled games?

Why should these 9-3 teams be rewarded for playing in a shite conference?

Just take the best 4 or 6 in the nation and be done with it.

Auto qualifiers is the most moronic argument in modern day college football

Or maybe they had really hard OOC games. When I was a student at LSU in 88 we played Texas A&M, Ohio State and Miami OOC, we lost 2 of those but won the SEC at 6-1 in conference. Wouldn’t we rather see a schedule like that, than the crap we get non conference now?

Only give auto home bids to the top 4-6 conference winners then. After that you might get an auto bid to the playoff but you could also get stuck as the 16th seed. The teams that straight wrecked shop all year would get a reward for being 1 loss or undefeated and teams that maybe just sneak in are punished. Also, ignoring OOC unless it's for judging wild cards incentivizes tougher OOC scheduling.

Every single other level of football has a true playoff that gives everyone a chance at getting in.

There is no legitimate reason for FBS to be different.

No system is perfect but one where every school has a chance is far better than one where maybe 30 do. Let's get real. An 11-1 Northwestern, Baylor, Oregon State *insert traditional also ran here* is never going to get in for the 4th slot over an 11-1 Alabama, USC, Oklahoma, *insert blue blood name here* so let's not pretend that the current system even gives all P5 schools the same chance.
