You realize that 2/3 of the BCS formula was human, right? The human polls made up 2/3 of the BCS ranking.I probably could live with that if they could figure out a way to determine the 4 teams without the human element. Too much bias.

With a 6 team playoff that game would have been for the bye if say the top two teams were to get a bye in a 6 team playoff scenario. I figure the CFP will be Bama 1, Ohio State 2, Clemson 3 and Washington 4 this week.With an 8 team playoff the OSU vs Michigan game yesterday would have been meaningless. I don't think that's what we want from CFB..

In CFB you always have to have the human element. Even in the BCS era there was the human element. FBS does not have the parity of the NFL. 12-0 WMU is not equal to 12-0 Alabama. For everyone saying we should have just taken the top 4 BCS (I agree BTW), the BCS and the CFP had the same top 4 teams last week and probably will after championship weekend.I probably could live with that if they could figure out a way to determine the 4 teams without the human element.

The Fox show last night actually brought this up. 3 teams from the B1G making it in would create a farce, but it would be possible if OU beat OSU while both Clemson and Washington lost. Why? Because B1G teams in consideration beat Colorado and Oklahoma during the regular season and the Hokies are pure garbage.What if Clemson and Washington both lose their championship games Saturday? And Penn State wins the B1G? Could we have 3 BIG teams along with Bama in the playoff, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State?? If this were to happen oh lordy!!
Thing is, we're playing 15 now. I'm happy with 4 or 8. I could live with cutting out a cupcake week too.If you expand the playoffs to 8, cut the reg season back to 11.... (which they won't do), 15 games is too many games for these kids....
Take out the cupcake week, replace with a second bye....
The cupcakes then go back to FCS status because they lose the cupcake payday.....and the system rights itself

Why do we always have to have the human element in FBS football? Why can't things change? I guess because of money. LOL I am just a believer that if you win your conference, you should get into a playoff and they're 5 major conferences, so 3 at-larges would be needed to fill out a field. I would rather watch a quarter final game than the Weed Eater Bowl.In CFB you always have to have the human element. Even in the BCS era there was the human element.

I think conference championships matter, but do they matter enough to keep a team with the same number of wins, 1 fewer loss, and a tougher SOS out due to a head to head loss? Well that's for the committee to decide (that's what the PTB wanted). Either way, It shouldn't keep another 12-1 P5 conf champ out. Give Stanford, Oregon, or USC Washington's record (incl OOC cupcakes) w/a conf champ and we aren't even thinking about leaving them out.
It's not nearly that simple.Why do we always have to have the human element in FBS football? Why can't things change? I guess because of money.

Money has always been the issue. Don't ever doubt it.It's not nearly that simple.
"The issue." Money is the only reason for all of this? Thus, you believe there must be a human element involved?Money has always been the issue. Don't ever doubt it.
You have misunderstood. I don't want the human element to decide who is in the playoffs. Plenty of money can still be made without a committee deciding who is in the playoffs. I am not much on the "this team beat this team who lost to this team on bad call". That is not the way to figure out which teams get in. Tuesday nights are a joke but I have to admit, at least we have a playoff. I would rather see it expanded to eight teams at the most."The issue." Money is the only reason for all of this?

No, I don't misunderstand. I get you don't want the human element involved, and you also think money is the only issue, which is why the human element is involved.You have misunderstood.
