8 team playoffs are terrible ways to determine a champion
I actually agree with you that they aren’t the best and that the Saints are the best team in NFL right now.
EPL has the best system. Play everyone home and away. Best record is champion.
Problem in college football is that playoffs are needed as there are too many teams to have true cross-conference play.
NFL has too many to play home and away. Even in the NFL a playoff is needed.
Without a balanced regular season a playoff is needed. No way to say a 13-0 Pac 12 champion is really better than a 11-2 SEC champion without playing the game.

This is correct.
Allowing ESPN to get four more media darlings in the playoff annually will not do anything to improve CFB.
Like another poster said, recruits have figured out the system as it stands now is only there to benefit about 5-7 teams, and that's it. Everyone else is playing for scraps, or they have to go unbeaten and win their CCG (unless they are a brand team).
Hell, if you are an SECW team, your task now is beating Bama twice annually as well, which is impossible. Got to beat them in the regular season, and win the SEC for the right to rematch them in the playoff. This year we moved to "if they lose the CCG, they are still in", so now SEC East teams like UGA face the prospect of beating them in the SECCG, then having to play them again in a couple weeks.
Expanding this to 8 teams will do NOTHING. And if you think ESPN would put a UCF in an 8 team pool you are kidding yourself.

True. I agree.
Cfb would make great strides if games against the G5 were limited to one per year.
11 P5 games on the schedule should be required. ooc emphasized

And yet Bama has gotten a mulligan by not winning its conference (or even its own division) under the current system and under the BCS.
Because they undoubtedly had a top 2 or 4 resume even with that loss.

I’m torn.
An 8 team system does cheapen the regular season even more.
It does however mean it isn’t as big of a travesty when the committee does something stupid like put Notre Dame as the 3 seed.

"G5s need to play more P5s to prove their worth!!!!"

Not really. It shows the massive hole in the system.
They say they want the best teams but then turn around and discount certain teams b/c "they don't deserve it" based off of completely arbitrary reasons.
How the hell do you know who the best teams are if they can't all play each other? Why do some teams get to have a loss or 2 and still be considered when teams in the exact same conference would never be afforded that luxury?

G5 just needs to go their own way.
They'll never do it though because of the socialist handouts they need to survive.
Lmao.

You don't know what socialism is and all y'all that keep saying playoffs are socialism need pick up a book and learn something b/c you don't know what the frick you are talking about.
Posted on 12/31/18 at 12:41 pm to tigerspin
ND would have been the 3 seed in any type of playoffs. 8;16;32 etc
What an odd argument

The G5 needs handouts to survive. Facts
It's the epitome of a socialist enterprise

As long as Notre Dame gets knocked down to the same level UCF is at right now, deal.

The P5/G5 relationship is not what socialism is. You don't know what you are talking about.
Never mind that hardly any athletic departments are in the black. You want to say that the SEC is socialist b/c they don't tell Vandy to eat shite? Is that your stance?

So settling on the field is bad? Georgia and UCf should have the chance to prove what they are worth but they didn’t get that chance because of humans
Posted on 12/31/18 at 12:45 pm to TheAstroTiger
You can argue UCF I guess but Georgia did have a chance and lost twice.

That would kill college football. If you eliminate G5/FCS game a lot of average CFB teams are going to go from 9-3/8-4 to 6-6/5-7 or worse once you eliminate the rent-a-wins
Want to see interest tank, have a majority of P5 teams start finishing at .500 every year.

Yes the sec is socialist. Every conference is...
I'm not so sure why that is so hard to accept.
Big boys support the little guy.

No, they are business partners. Again, you clearly don't know what the hell socialism is.
