so yeah there’s lots of flaws with the new format but people yearning for the pre-bcs era are doing it with rose (lol) colored glasses. Pre-bcs era Oregon beats Indiana by 21+ in the rose bowl and is declared national champion. I’d prefer that personally cuz I think we’ll lose to Ohio state, but I think most of this board should be thankful for the new system (this year at least).
Now, the best four teams are guaranteed to get in and whoever runs the gauntlet deserves it.
Yes, FSU sucked last year but you cannot say (100%) that the best 4 teams got in.
This will crown a true champion.
I know, some of the girls on this board (or in the sec) want boise and asu to not have a first round bye but there has to be a reward for winning your conference.
The current system is the best ever at this level. This cannot be disputed (rationally).

Ohio state wouldn’t have made a 4 team playoff this year.
We haven't needed the changes since 1997
I was right all along
The NFL playoffs are usually boring. People forget
They would have made the Rose Bowl which is the natty game this year, as would have been the case last year.
@ntxduck
under what system would a 4th place osu have made the rose bowl?
I think the expansion to 12 is dumb but osu (who is probably a top 3 team in the country) undoubtedly benefited from the expansion.
Ohio state only had one old big 10 loss and tie breakers on IU and Pedo. pre bcs era they go to the Rose Bowl.
pre-bcs tiebreaker was who had the longest rose bowl drought, no? So it would have been Indiana?
Pre BCS Indiana would be 4-7, Bud !
Oregon at least made it to the Rose Bowl pre BCS.
All they need to do to fix this is make the champions an auto bid but not a guaranteed bye. Too late for our Ducks, this year.

Name a downside to the new system?
Maybe, playing 16 or 17 games.

If you're too dumb to get it already, nobody can explain.
