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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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