    The playoff is fucking stupid.

    This is not, in any sense, an improvement over any other system.

    If Clemson loses a close game, they will have a super high quality loss (something that none of these other teams have) and the same record as the winner.

    If they lose in the title game, they'll have more quality wins.

    You can't have 110 teams, 5 leagues, varying schedules and accurately find the 'best' team.

    This is the reason I've always been against a 'playoff' because it solves nothing.

    The beauty of college football was always that every game mattered. Now, you can lose to a Shit team in October and so long as the committee thinks you're good, it doesn't matter.

    If you move to 4 conferences with 16 teams, championship games, normal bowl tie ins and then a final game, at least that makes sense.

    This system is just as dumb as the BCS (probably worse) and definitely worse than the voting system.

    Agree. The BCS and Playoff are a farce. Just go back to how the bowls were pre-BCS and let us argue about who the champion is.

    I absolutely had to edit that because of race's 5.3 seconds. He's quick for an old guy.

    The match ups are fine, but if SOS actually mattered and wasn't some complicated formula that overrated SEC games, Sparty would be #1. Four wins over top 10-15 teams. Beat Michigan and Ohio State on the road.

    *lost to Mike Riley.

    Lost to the refs while playing Mike Riley, but sure.
    Natl championship caliber teams don't put themselves in a position to lose to Mike fucking Riley due to refs.

    *beat Michigan on pure stupidity by Harbaugh.

    *beat Oregon with VAJ and a broken finger.


    Beat Ohio on the road with a backup QB

    Beat undefeated Iowa on a neutral field with a 22 play game winning drive that took the balance of the 4th quarter

    Sparty is beyond deserving and has the best resume of all the 1 loss teams

    I would've taken Iowa over Oklahoma just to piss everyone off.

    If Iowa wins their bowl game and Oklahoma wins the 'Natty', how the FUCK is Iowa not a co-national champion?

    Iowa's ONE FUCKING LOSS came on a neutral field to one of the best teams in CFB in the last fucking seconds of the game. Oklahoma's one loss came to a shit team on a neutral field and they got beasted.

    So, games in October don't matter? You're saying that a team should be punished more for losing a cunt-hair close game to fucking fired the fuck up Michigan State at a neutral site than losing to a shit tier Texas team in October?

    It's literally the dumbest fucking thing ever.

    Everyone who wants a playoff is blinded by the 'settle it on the field' gobbledy gook and is too fucking stupid to think it through.

    Yeah, but you could make a better case for the defending national champions whose one less was to that same MSU team. OSU would skullfuck Iowa. Neither system is perfect, but the BCS was worse.

    While I liked and miss the old New Years Day bowls, the old system brought us the 1984 BYU national championship, split NC's, and a ton of uncertainty. I can't believe people really miss that...

    Iowa left out? Sounds like you want an 8 team playoff.
