Been here for almost 18 years ...... I'm known to "stir the pot" every once and a while!Good lowered!!
You've been reading/listening to too many people who make their living from controversy.
1. Watch the teams play.
2. Pick 2 or more teams outside of the top 4 that look like better teams than the top 4.
You'll have your answer.
I would not be in favor of any playoff with automatic qualifiers. Winning your conference is meaningless in determining who the best teams in the country are.I voted to keep it at four, for now of course. But, if its expanded beyond 8 teams then you allow people to win their conference and the "weak schedule" argument is done because you just play who you are scheduled to play. Win or lose!
IDK. I'm getting tired of the committee. Leave it on the field and you won't have the "media bias" in picking the 4 best.I would not be in favor of any playoff with automatic qualifiers. Winning your conference is meaningless in determining who the best teams in the country are.
No.Should the College Football Playoffs Expand the field? If so, how many teams?
I don't think anyone has thought this one through, but I see you have.Whatever they decide to do with expansion, it absolutely CANNOT have automatic qualifiers for conference champions. That would render every single OOC game completely meaningless.
Yep, it’s different in college basketball where they play a lot of games. I still want marquee OOC games to matter.I don't think anyone has thought this one through, but I see you have.
Get ready for "but Michigan beat Alabama in September, and Alabama made the playoff but Michigan didn't!!!"
Not likely to happen but it could...how about a 7-5 Pittsburg (2018 ACC Championship game) gets lucky and beats Clemson. Should they get in as a conference champ?I don't think anyone has thought this one through, but I see you have.
Get ready for "but Michigan beat Alabama in September, and Alabama made the playoff but Michigan didn't!!!"
Well, the issue there would be when a top 4 undefeated or one loss team gets upset in their conference championship by a 2 or 3 loss team.....say Virginia beat Clemson this year.I voted to keep it at four, for now of course. But, if its expanded beyond 8 teams then you allow people to win their conference and the "weak schedule" argument is done because you just play who you are scheduled to play. Win or lose!
