They just created the 6 team playoff. #6 Wisconsin would play AT #3 UGA. #5 tOSU would play AT #4 Bama. #1 Clemson and #2 Oklahoma would be waiting at the Sugar Bowl and Rose Bowl for the winners.
New CFP format.

- Start date
Which makes yesterday's Big 10 title game TOTALLY meaningless and nothing but an injury risk.......
Yes, every conference now needs to go back to the drawing board and get rid of the geographic divisions and set up scheduling and seeding for conference teams such that the 2 best teams in the conference playoff for the championship if they are going to keep scheduling conference championship games. I have always thought a 6 team playoff was the best option and have the 2 playin games the week of Christmas. it increases the chance for all P5 conferences to be represented plus 1 at large team. That would be an awesome 3 weeks of football for sure.
So if a conference champ had 4 losses, they would be in simply for winning their conference. I thought a playoff was about having the best teams in.
I'm cool with 4.
I didn't even see many people arguing for six or eight teams when we thought we weren't going to make it.
I've always thought that after number 3 you're just lucky to have a chance. The problem with the old system was that we weren't getting the top 2 teams each year

I'd MUCH prefer going back to the TWO game "Playoff" even though it wouldn't favor Alabama in many years. But the reality is it made the REGULAR SEASON a whole lot more important.
Lest we forget, we got in despite crapping the bed in a SHAMEFUL flop against our in-state rival, and we nearly lost out on the P_ayoffs to a team that lost by 31 points to an unranked opponent. They landed at #5.
Frankly, the BCS was a Vastly better deal than the P_ayoffs, but you know what was the Absoulte best?
The BAD OLE' DAYS when Byrant, Switzer, Hayes, Parseghian, etc. would get on the phone with the TV Networks and cut the deals they wanted, and when all the dust settled at midnight on New Years day, you very often had two teams with Great Arguments and both could hang banners - and HALF the rest of the teams could end their season with a WIN, instead of today when you have ONE "Winner" and 127 Losers.
Keep at 4, if you’re going to have 6, then you have to get rid of the 12th game, which won’t happen because we all know CFB is big business. Someone will complain about too many games and risk of injury

Even with 6 I don't thin that conference champion is an automatic entry for the reason you just stated. A conference champion with 4 losses or even 3 losses is proof of an incredibly weak conference. At that point you would take the 2 best at large teams. Because as CNS said last night all conferences are not created equal.

Every few years people will argue about expanding the playoff format. It becomes a slippery slop. 4 teams, period. End of story.
I hate what is happening to college football. Even if it got to 8 or 12 teams there will always be someone complaining. Football is NOT like basketball...the more games you add the more likely key players get injured thus changing the complexion of the outcome. If you are playing several teams with top talent it becomes a survival of the fittest rather than who is truly the best.

eh...I like the idea of 6 but without the automatic qualifying conference champion. Best 6 teams are the best 6 Teams. After that I don't care who complains.
