So let me get this straight. Word is that Mich might even leapfrog Washington for CFP.

yep. if Oh state gets in, this has become the subjective NC moved from a vote

I think that it is a step in right direction, but it should not stop here. 8 is perfect

The subjectivity requires a wider net

It never really was a true playoff. It was a money and power grab....

It's a 4-team BCS system to replace the 2-team BCS system.

It needs to go to 8 teams. 4 is not enough. 8 is just right.

I hope it happens because it will cause a lot of backlash

It would just be so easy to fix. 8 team playoff: P5 champs, 1 G5, 2 at large.

Only problem with that is OOC games become preseason games (they won't mean

Except if you're a team hoping for the autobid.

If Washington loses. If they win they are in.

As well they should.

You think Washington should drop if they win?

I love Michigan and wanted them to beat OSU so bad. But they did not win their conference.

While I agree that it'd be subjective, I think that conferences championships

It doesn't mean you're the best in the country, but it means you deserve a shot.

Isn't the point of the CFP to get the four best teams in the country into a

Random Walk

12/1/16 11:52am

I suppose so. But 3 Big 10 teams seems silly.

rggee

12/1/16 11:53am

Not if they're 3 of the 4 best teams in the country.

Random Walk

12/1/16 11:55am

But they've already all played each other.

rggee

12/1/16 12:07pm

Why does this matter?

Random Walk

12/1/16 12:09pm

How do we know they're the best? They get the benefit of playing each other.

I agree--you don't know.

12/1/16 12:15pm

Ok, but how can anyone claim to be the best in the nation if they failed to win

Why does this matter? Some conferences are harder than others...just because

Yeah but then you are relying on non-head-to-head perception to say who is

I'm not saying that conference championships shouldn't be a factor.

But if you view the regular season as part of the playoff, then those who fail

I think that you're playing the regular season to decide who gets in the playoff

From it's short history, and this year in particular, is there any doubt left

there shouldn't have ever been any doubt. It wasn't designed for G5 inclusion

good point. This is proof that it is not about allowing anyone in as much as keeping others out.

In a way, I kind of hope this happens. Then it would clearly reveal a bias

The playoff system isn't corrupt like everyone thinks. Would anyone dispute that

But it is as stupid as everyone thinks. You need to have a sufficient number

Corrupt is not the word I would have used. Self Serving? Yes. Elitist? Yes.
