6 team playoff. Must play in your conference championship to get into the playoff

Fify.

No more mulligans, and finishing second in your division shouldn't be a bye.

Get the frick out. Just because LSU got burned and had to play Bama again in ‘11 doesn’t mean you go that route and throw the baby out with the bath water. The goal is to get the best or most deserving teams in the playoff. You want an 11-1, 2nd ranked LSU team who beat Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina in the East, but lost a 1-point game in Tuscaloosa left out of a 6-team playoff when Bama’s 3 SEC East opponents were Tennessee, Vandy, and Missouri? Y’all’ve got to let that “have to win your division” bullshite go. Teams—even in the same division—can play very different conference schedules.

Well, which is it? Because those aren't the same thing. You think an Alabama team that doesn't win it's division is more deserving than a 1 or 2 loss Pac-12 team that wins it's conference? Better? Very highly probable. But more deserving? Hell no.

Again, if you're going to sit here and try to say the regular season means something, I'm not sure how you can discount this.

I don't understand how going to autobids and at-large teams diminishes the regular season. You still have to perform at a high level. Yeah, maybe you get a 3 or 4 loss conference champion in because of a fluke win, but why does their opponent deserve a mulligan for having a shitty game right before the playoffs?

Say Clemson goes unbeaten until the conference title game...ya'll putting them in because they only have 1 loss?
