re: Memphis shuts up UCF

Explain to me why over half of the FBS is automatically eliminated from National Championship opportunity due to the conference they participate in?

They're not. Maybe UCF should focus on playing anyone, anywhere. If they played 2-3 solid P5 opponents and took care of business, they'd be given consideration. But when their best win is against Memphis, no they're not going to receive the same value as an 11-1 Alabama team.

16 teams all champions (10) with wildcards ends the charade.

In no universe does FBS college football need 12 regular season games, a conference championship game, and 4 playoff games to determine a champion when your teams are comprised of unpaid amateur athletes. 100% not going to happen. You talked about this coming down to money. Well, there you go. It is absolutely about money, just not how you're looking at it.

Shoot lets even use the by laws version that EVERY level but FBS uses 24, to include Division winners and Independents and Wild Cards can get included. But hey let's not try to be logical and just scream they don't deserve a chance.

Lower divisions are only required to play 11 regular season games and do not have conference championship games. Their champions, in totality, play the same number of games that P5 schools do when you account for regular season games and playoff games.

The 24 team tournament (28 in 2/3 levels) use gives you the best team and a champion.

a 24 team playoff WILL NEVER HAPPEN not should it happen. In no universe should a 4 loss team have the opportunity to play for a national title. It may be cool for a Cinderella team to go on a run in the basketball tournament, but it is not a great format for crowning the best team, which is exactly what would happen in this system. A 24 team playoff for major college football is a ridiculous idea. I also have no use for a team like Alabama to beat a team in round 1 by 45 points because you think it's only fair that way. It's not fair at all, actually, when the strength of divisions (conferences) are not apples to apples. It's also a waste of everyone's time and resources in a violent contact sport where every game these kids play is a threat to their future earnings. FCS and other levels don't have that problem. They don't have players with tens of millions of dollars on the line. And the NFL, a level that does, pays their players handsomely for their services.
