Using the BCS formula to determine the four playoff teams makes too much sense

It’s not perfect, but at least it is consistent.

A expanded playoff with conditional auto-bids and a computer formula to determine the other teams would be ideal. 12 teams would be my personal preference.

Make 10 conferences of 9 teams each. Play 8 regular season games

I feel like the government went in and fixed the BCS with something worse. BCS with top 4 in playoffs would be a step

It's still true...

BCS with top 4 in playoffs would have been the exact same results...

That's not an argument for 2 teams; it's argument for different selection metric

Exactly. Use a computer...for 8 teams. Boom!

Exactly

Although for all the CFP complaints, BCS would have picked the same 4 every time

It’s much worse. As I said it would be from the beginning.

It is not worse at all. 3 games will always be better than 1

It’s much worse

How? Which top 2 teams under the BCS have been left out?

Fornelli must be a CBer, because that is some awful logic. What’s his handle?

Using BCS to determine the teams would have given the exact same results as CFP

Seems to be some notable differences here

Definitely differences and worse for G5, but not different at the top

The powers of college football distracted the media and public with the playoff

Yup, BCS was actually a much better system

The CFP is biased and the BCS is just programmed in bias

I prefer 4 teams, but the selection process is infinitely worse.
