Playoff committee stated in their original mission statement that they would give an edge to Conference champions over other teams...but they bailed on that from the get go.

It's still the bullshite, subjective eye-test instead of something tangible...winning on the field.

Bama will play a two-game schedule, lose 1 of those games, miss the SEC Championship game and get into the playoffs as the #4 team.

It's so absurd, and turning people away from the mockery that has become this sport. They said they wanted a playoff but it's still just votes.

A REAL playoff takes the Champions from each Conference. That's a simple take ESPN bias and human votes and eye-tests out of it...win your Conference and you're in.

This shouldn’t be at all controversial. Like I said, any “national championships” won by teams who didn’t win their conference are entirely mythical.

All conferences are not created equal. ACC is shite and so is Clemson’s SOS.

Conference Championships are inherently unfair in this system.

I’m not advocating for Bama to be in it. But that stipulation about Champions is bs.

Except there are 5 power conferences and only 4 spots. They need to do away with the playoffs and bring the BCS back. That was the best system in my opinion.
