I never understand the early melts for these things. Let the season finish out, then bitch all you want. I can guarantee it will change between now and then.

The CFP was designed for the "eye test". specifically to go against the BCS computers.

I still argue the only answer is 6 or 8 teams. No way it needs to be more than that.

This committee seems, seems, to value quality wins , UGA and there 2 quality wins overrided there loss to USCAR



Then why's a one loss team with no quality wins and just two wins over teams with a winning record ranked so high? The target moves how they want it to move.

Exactly what I always said. Hell the ncaa basketball 68 teams and they still cry about who gets left out. Same will happen with football, where do you stop it?

Expand from 4 to 6. Gives each P5 conference champ a shot, plus the most deserving one or two second-best teams from a P5 conference (or an exceptional mid-major, like UCF was in 2017).

8 game playoff fixes this.

5 P5 Conference Champs
3 At Large with SOS weighed heavily, PF/PA not as much of a factor.

Repurpose some of the nothing bowls to be playoff games.

But, corporate $$$ will guarantee this never happens.

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

The BCS likely would've been saved by this requirement, too.

They haven’t fricked up the top 4 yet at the end of the year. Let it play out

I don’t understand why they thought the BCS was worse than this

They could’ve created a playoff system based on BCS rankings.

You realize that each member leaves the room when their school is discussed?

Agree with a poster below. Just pick 4 from the 5 conference champs. Leave one out every year. It should be easier that way.



If they have equivalent SOS going into the championship game, otherwise it's still a gift to the one who could have had an easier path. No one cares about the major bowls that used to garner a lot of attention. Should be 8 teams, then anything could happen. Team #8 gets some guys back for the playoffs that missed considerable games, anyone could win. I'm just tired of the Bama preference, hope AU kicks their arse.

All this shite talking about the CFP and they just put LSU #1



typical TigerDroppings

If you're aggravated about Bama being #5 and not lower - use your fricking brain.

Oregon lost to #12
Bama lost to #1

Bama has not beaten and current top 25 team
Neither has Oregon

Now, I'll give you 1 second to tell me who you think would win on a neutral field - Bama or Oregon?

That's a no brainer.

What could yall possibly be pissed off about???????????

Even if you go with 6 you can have all power 5 champs plus a wildcard team. That would allow a Cinderella or a 1/2 loss power 5 contender to get back into it. If you go 8 you’ll have so many teams with the same resume fighting over the 8 spot it’ll be chaos. There needs to be qualifiers to get rid of the corruption.

It’s far from the worst ever. That would be a poll at years end with NO games.

Expand to 6, 5 power 5 champs and one at large bid. Top two seeds get a bye

A small 13 member panel made up of participating schools AD’s, employees, boosters, and random people.

I'll chime in here... I hate it.

Prior to BCS, it was biased with name recognition and eye-test, therefore multiple polls with multiple champions.

BCS eliminated that bias. That did not sit well at all.

And so now we're back to same bias, name recognition and eye-test, but with a 4 team playoff format.
