I actually really like Faux Pelini’s suggestion of a 7 team playoff instead of an 8 team one. Give the #1 team a bye, which puts focus back on being number one instead of on who is number 4 or number 8.dnc said:UCF and the Big Tens Bowel domination will both be big steps towards the 8 team playoff. Every Power 5 Champ, the highest rated Gang of 5 team, two wild cards.
Its going to happen.
I don't really like byes in college football playoff though, unless they'd start the playoffs much earlier. They already have 3 or 4 weeks off before they start the playoffs so it seems like a bye would lose the advantage of rest. It still means you have to win one less game which is obviously big, but is getting a bye that much better than playing team #8? When in doubt, I say more football. -
That's a terrible idea. Nobody deserved a bye this year.whlinder said:

I think the proposed setup was play the 3 quarterfinals back to back to back on the third Saturday in Dec, then play the semifinals on the regular bowl schedule. Quarterfinals could be neutral site or hosted by the higher seeds.

Most years, there isn't a clear cut team that deserves the advantage of one fewer game. -
Bama last year was a lone undefeated. Year before that was Clemson.
In the years with a bunch of close teams like this one it’s a huge undeserved advantage. Other years it is more justified.
I just like the idea of a significant reward for being #1. It may be difficult to discern who the absolute best or most deserving single team is, but there is usually a big gap between 1/2/3 and 6/7/8, who end up with 2 losses (and sometimes 3). -

People forget UW ducked #1 BYU in 1984 to play the #2 team instead:YellowSnow said:It's like BYU but with an actual quality win.

Playing Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl >>>>> playing Mormons in the Holiday Bowl
If UW had clownstomped BYU, Oklahoma wins the title.
UW did the right thing and beat the next best team in the land. Byu beat fucking 6-5 Michigan.
UW is the Natty winner for everyone who knows anything about football. So definitely not for you. -
The advantage is home games for 1-4.whlinder said:Bama last year was a lone undefeated. Year before that was Clemson.

Dear UCF,TierbsHsotBoobs said:How can the AP voters ignore the only undefeated team in America?
The shit they say about not playing a BCS/P5 schedule is real.
