re: Expanding CFP Won't Increase Parity

is stupid, what distinguished college football from other sports in American history and makes it so compelling on a weekly basis is the overwhelming and immense emphasis it places on regular season performance, every regular season game is a one-game playoff and college football exists in a format that incentivizes undefeated seasons whereas, in the NFL, undefeated seasons are a goal, an accomplishment. The more we expand the CFP, giving one/two-loss teams mulligans with this tournament, the more we diminish the entire point of college football, its distinguishing and compelling format that sets it apart.

I would have absolutely no issues with this entire situation if there were 4 conferences total.

Having 5 conferences and ND/BYU as independents means you feasibly have 7 teams who could have 0/1 loss all at once.

If you have Bama, OU, OSU, Clemson, ND, Washington and BYU all at 11-1 or 12-1, you're up shite's creek without a paddle. It happened this year, and immediately why OSU/B1G went to get it changed (and it will happen soon IMO)
