It's hard...it really is

Since the advent of the playoff, very few teams have been in the playoffs. 10 different teams have appeared. I think we all need to take a walk and gain some perspective, myself included. Getting in the playoff is a very high bar. Winning the P12 championship should typically get you in, though.

I wonder if the BCS committee thinks that this is enough diversity of teams. I'd like to see us drop a conference game and add 1 more round to this.

3 of the 5 title games have been Clemson -vs- Bama


This year, we might see LSU or Penn State break in.

PAC 12 champ is only 40% thus far on getting in.

And the two times the teams got in ( Washington in 16, Oregon in 14 ), each team had 1 loss going into the playoffs.

Small sample size but 1 P12 or OOC loss + Pac-12 championship should get you in.

I was thinking the same thing as I took a look at the top-5 in the polls today. It is pretty damn boring when you can not watch a game all season and know who 3 of the 4 playoff teams are each year.

4, 8 or 16 teams - the result will be the same. I don't like the idea of expanding the playoff. I'd like to see 8 bowl games, 5 conference champs plus 3 at large, then do a playoff from there. That's a hell of a lot of games, so maybe have every conference play 10 conference games and drop the conference championship game. I think a high percentage of the time you're not going to get much argument over who is the best team in any conference after 10 games have been played.

Expand it to 8 team and if the PAC 12 champ gets repeatedly butt fucked, maybe it’s time to focus on being a basketball league again.

32 team playoff (minimum), no bowls. Or blow it up and go back to the old days.

College football hasn’t been nearly as fun or interesting since the BSC fucked us.
