It's already time to scratch this fuckerd-up 4-team playoff. It's a comedy show and completely illogical. Transparent? About as much as Osama's promise of transparency.
There now exists a "new-years 6". Stick with that slogan-title. 5 conference champs, 5 slots. Force the Irish to fully join the ACC or play the ACC champ in the conference championship game. Then give the sixth to a Non Power 5 team like Boise State or BYU. THEN EVERY FUCKING BODY is happy and its 100% fucking fair and all things are equal. Hallelujah!
This fucktarded Profile in Courage belongs on the front page.
What the fuck kind of bracket did you come up with anyway? 1 v 6 for one spot in the final...while 2 v 5 plays the winner of 3 v 4 for the other spot?
I need to start smoking your meds.
Hard for a soccer fan to understand boobie. After 13,000 posts one would think you would have a worthy one by now and ill give you credit. #1-#2 getting a bye is a good idea. I like mine better, but your's aint too shabby flabby.
I endorse a 6 team playoff system but have a few modifications:
1) P5 conference winners get a spot at the table provided that they meet minimum qualifications (this takes away the scenario where you have a 7-5 team win a conference title game)
2) Remaining spot(s) belong to either a non Power 5 school or ND finishing in the Top 8 of the polls at the end of the season. If these spots aren't filled by this metric, then it goes to the highest rated team(s) in the end of the year rankings at the end of the season for non-conference winners. This avoids situations where you have a 1-loss team like TCU (or Mississippi St if they would have not lost to Ole Miss) whose only loss is to a team that won the division/conference ahead of them.
3) Top 2 teams get byes AND host the National Semifinal games.. The byes are determined based on SOS and the views of the Selection Committee. This further enhances the importance of the regular season. Committee membership needs to be balanced based on Conference ties. For example, you can't have 4 members in the Committee with Big 10 ties and 1 with PAC ties.
If you aren't in the Top 8, you have no reason to complain about not being in the National Championship picture. If you think you have a team good enough to play for it all, you'll schedule accordingly. If you don't, you won't and will be happy with the bowl games as they currently stand. Moreover, as this will ENCOURAGE the best teams to play each other, you'll have more instances where teams play themselves in/out of the picture. Generally speaking, it will be far more difficult to complain about the last team in the picture (if there isn't another automatic qualifier).
One conference representative only. That being the champ. Let the rest of the country, outside the power 5 fight for #6. He who has the most impressive SOS, and best record gets the #6 spot. The odds of beating #1 would be slim. If it happens, then as I said that team will have earned the bye. Makes #1 all important. If that team played the most difficult schedule, they shouldnt lose. Will finally shut up BSU.
it makes so much sense, which is why most of you droolers dont get it.
