    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.

    Best poast I've read on this cluster fuck situation. The answer is either ...

    1. 4 conferences, 16 teams, conf champ game (quarterfinal), winners advance.
    2. Scrap it all and go back to traditional bowl system.

    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.

    Iowa left out? Sounds like you want an 8 team playoff.
    I don't want any fucking playoff at all. It's so fucking dumb. Either do 4 16 team conferences or just fucking vote.

    It's all a voting system one way or another.

    Decide the shit on the field ... but also decide the shit on the field in a manner that is all inclusive of the best teams and forget about trying to decide which 1 or 2 loss team is better than the other.

    Ohio lost at home to a team playing with a backup QB

    Any argument that they deserve to be in the Final Four is FS ... they had everything in front of them and pissed it away.

    Why "Team X" and not ND?

    You know it'd be ND

    Dude, it's a hypothetical playoff that will never exist. Why not FSU?

    #1 would be awesome. It would be even better if it cut out one non conference game. I wish only one non BCS non conference game was allowed.

    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.


    I like to downplay wins over top 10-15 teams. It's what I like to do. How many top 10-15 teams has Alabama beaten?
