If this is how they’re gonna select, fine. Cancel the CCGs. They are nothing more than a way to penalize the 2 best teams and improve the stock of a team that didn’t make it and promote ones that didn’t.

Yep, Wisconsin would have been in without one. Time to end them, they're worthless

CCG could actually help you sometimes.

Really and truly, you just need to expand the playoffs to 16 and give auto bids to P5 conf champs.

Auburn argument aside.

Take wisky. 12-0 regular season, regarded higher than Bama after regular season play. Their reward? Play another game vs a top 5 opponent. If you lose, you’re obviously not as good as the team sitting at home watching on tv. That just blows my mind

The SEC will never abolish the championship game. Too much $$$$$ involved. As for the other leagues, I don't know how much money they make.

It meant nothing to tOSU because they already fricked themselves during the regular season.

It meant something to Wisconsin because a win would have been the only way to validate that they belonged in the playoff.

Sadly the best part of college football no longer matters. It's a shame.

More importantly it creates unbalanced outcomes.

Auburn beat Georgia and Alabama in the same month. Georgia beats Auburn. Why in any scenario should Alabama be thought the better team of either.

Had auburn not played. Alabama would still be behind both.

The same with Wisconsin. They were penalized by playing. You can argue their schedule was weak, but they certainly dropped for playing.

They made the conference championship games when the BCS was picking #1 and #2 teams to play. If was an extra game to pad the resumes. I said as soon as the 4 team playoff started the conference championship games are useless.

Just have the two actual best teams play in each conference and you've essentially expanded the playoff

Also, putting in OSU would be an admission that they have zero guidelines. Can’t do what they did last year then come back and do the opposite this year to an even less deserving team (PSU16argument >> OSU17) this year. At least this way saves face. Time to blow it up

Only problem is that makes 10 and doesn’t account for non-P5 or ND

Is it really that hard to understand a conference championship can help bolster your resume but doesn't necessarily guarantee a right in the CFP?

Apparently yes. Things didn’t go how we wanted them so we demand a change. Some on this board sound a lot like a bunch of SJW
