Yup most years there are only 2-3 worthy teams. Decades worth of data support this.

#3 has never won either.
Obviously, 2 should just play 4 from now on.
If you insist on 4 teams, then take the top 4 even numbers: 2, 4, 6, and 8.
If the team we deem the "worst" is winning at a clip of 40%, while the team we deem "best" hasnt won, it leads us to believe we might not entirely understand who the best team truly is by watching the regular season, and stopping at 4 may actually be keeping the best team at home

You criticize the rankings and then say "maybe we should expand a little" but I'm the lost one here?

A plethora of threads stated "we dont even need a playoff to determine the best team this year"
Whoops

Not really
3 undefeated teams needed to sort each other out.
Oklahoma should have never been given an opportunity.

The #1 team lost to the #2 team.
We need changes across the board!!!
This is an overreaction

This year proved how absolutely dumb expansion would be
Reading the arguments that spin it otherwise is amusing though

Michigan got blown tf out in their last two games of the season. If we expanded to 8 or 12, and cut out the conference title game, they would’ve been the #4 seed
Yeah, let’s do expansion because Alabama lost to another undefeated team!!!

Not quite following your logic. But let me take a shot at it.
So...because the two best teams were significantly better than everybody else, that strengthens the argument that we need to expand the playoffs?

Yeah this needs bookmarked for worst thread of the year

Ya imagine some of these jokes wanting to put Michigan into a playoff. It's sickening they have voting rights

Also, the MAJORITY of the time, the #4 seed has lost by at least two scores.

It goes to show we dont know as much shite as we think about a regular season with over 100 teams where cross conference play is limited

if you were the best team, you would have been top 4 in December
one suggestion i haven't seen: 1 vs. 6, 2 vs. 5, and 3 vs. 4 with a championship game the next week
basically if #1 or #2 win, they're in. #6 can't win the championship but can knock #1 out. #5 can only get in if they and #6 win, which would make #5 vs. #3 or #4. All 3 first round games would be called semifinals

Their #2 team was significantly better than their #1 and #3 teams. Their #1 team was 11 points better than their #4 team. And that's about it.

So, if in December of 2014, the committee decided to rank TCU ahead of OSU, then OSU all of a sudden is not the best team? OSU was that close to not getting in. A decision of 13 people sitting around
And TCU still may have been the best team that year. They were absolutely legit
