The CFP is the worst system for determining a champion...ever.

A small 13 member panel made up of participating schools AD’s, employees, boosters, and random people.
The Hunger Games were more fairly administered.
Agree with a poster below. Just pick 4 from the 5 conference champs. Leave one out every year. It should be easier that way.

It's all about the eye test...

It could all be fixed by requiring a team to win its conference to get in.

Thanks for the insightful take on justifying your thought...

Then Ohio State will have to start scoring 80 pts a game.

At what point do we stop caring when a team gets left out?
Like we cared when it was 3rd place vs 2nd place.
We care about 5th place vs 4th place.
Do we care about 7th vs 6th? 9th vs 8th? When?

I also wonder if the timing of those said wins/losses affect the decision as well? Say ga loses to scar last week. Are they still 4?

I want to blow something up every time I hear this phrase. They just just call is what it is: subject bias.

in a 4 team playoff there really is no excuse for this not to be a hard requirement
if it was 8, different story

Interesting. I bet UGA would be 10 behind Oklahoma.

8 teams, Conference champs auto bid, 3 at large teams. Could even do 6 the same way just have 1 at large team

Not sure the record and resume is what it is pardon the pun

Dumping the computer and going with a committee allows them the freedom to change the qualifiers every year. One year they can say schedule strength if it favors the elites and blue bloods the next they can say eye test. Basically they can warp the requirements to fit the elites whenever it suits them. I’ve always hated the newer systems because it robs fans of the great stories that made college football like Flutie vs Miami, BYU winning a title or even that great Georgia tech run in 1990. These great memories have been extinguished because of this corruption.

Too many games to be played for that. I think 6 is the right number.

8-team playoff. Keep the committee and their rankings, but limit their influence by doing the following:
The five P5 champs automatically qualify, regardless of committee ranking.
Three at-large spots.
Have objective criteria for the at-large spots which makes the system fair for all teams, and provides transparency.
For example...
Any team which finishes in the top 6 of the committee rankings (if not a P5 champ) gets an auto-bid.
A group-of-five school gets an auto-bid assuming they a) won their conference, b) defeated at least 2 P5 teams, and c) finished in the Top 10 of the committee rankings.
