You criticize the rankings and then say "maybe we should expand a little" but I'm the lost one here?
I think his point is that 1-4 are pretty arbitrarily ordered (which seems pretty indisputable). Given that fact, who’s to say that they actually have the right teams in the top 4.

Nope
Because every team left complaining still 100% had the clear opportunity to make the playoffs

How anyone can advocate for a system that allows you to go undefeated and get left out is mind blowing to me, particularly in a P5 conference.
The chance of that happening is less than 1%. How many times in CFB history has there been at least 5 undefeated major teams at the end of the season? And the vast majority of CFB history was without conference championship games which further reduce the likelihood of several undefeateds.

If you think the results show that, well not sure what to tell you, I guess.

Sure. Let's wait until it happens to fix what's broken.

I am fine with having teams left out that "potentially could be the best team" if those said teams had a clear undisputed way to make the playoffs based on football only
I am not fine with having teams left out that "potentially could be the best team" based on arbitrary knowledge and subjective analysis
You are too busy being a smartass to just read through what I am posting

Maybe “arbitrarily” isn’t the right word. Let’s go with “highly subjectively”.
If #4 wins the championship 40% of the time, it’s a little odd that people believe that #5 should have no shot.

Self-proclaimed titles based on nothing.
No wonder you like the current system.

But 100% of the time the champ was ranked 1-4, so why expand?

That is why I dont think picking 4 teams in a league full of 100 teams with what we call 5 power conferences is a large enough sample when cross conf games are limited
You don't know what sample size means.

I get the 4th being added just for fanfare purposes
It's added for symmetry.
Like the guy you were replying to said, 3 solves everything problem, but why have just one semifinal?
Going to 8 is a solution in search of a problem and would kill everything that is great about the sport.

No, because the last team in has won 40% of the time, there is too much of a possibility we are leaving the best team out
Name one year in the history of college football where 5 teams have had a legitimate argument as the best team during the season (i.e. a legit argument to be national champions).
Take as much time as you need.
Posted on 1/10/19 at 11:53 pm to lsupride87
Just rank teams like the BCS did. Then take the top 6 or 8 and that’s your playoffs.

Try using the entire set of college football as a sport. Ever.
And, again, let me know when 5 times had a legit claim to the natty.
And if you can't find such a scenario -- and you can't -- then what the hell are you arguing for?
The playoff is for nothing other than to deal with years like 2004. There's never EVER been a year that the CFP wouldn't solve, and in the vast majority of years it is wildly overinclusive. And yet you're advocating for expansion? Huh?
Solution in search of a problem. Most appropriate use of that phrase in my lifetime.

That was easy
