    If I were Alabama, why would I schedule a tough OOC opponent if I have the guns to pummel the conference into submission early? Then I can simply bench Tagovailoa and the other stars, rest them up for the conference championship, win that and secure a playoff spot. And no one else in the country would be interested in watching the rest of our games because we'll be playing our 2nd and 3rd stringers in games where it doesn't matter if we win or not.

    Again, you are assuming you win the conference championship. What happens if you shit the bed? That strength of schedule could save your ass. With conference championships getting you into the playoffs it actually entices teams to schedule tough OOC games. Those loses don’t hurt you if you win your conference.
    He doesn't get it. And I doubt ever will. I give up.

    Holy shit, gysm, if the playoffs expanded, Alabama would schedule OOC against, like, Citadel or something! That would ruin college football!

    But but but...it interferes with school schedules and midterms! Also, what about the smaller schools? It’s always been about the money. Until people stop watching Bowl games, we will always have them.

    I guess it comes down to whether a person cares about who is the best in the land or not.

    I’m as traditional as they come but if finding out whose the best in the land, there has to be some sort of playoff. Just about Every American major sport has some sort of playoff. While the current NCAAF CFP system is still subjective, it is better than the BCS where they at least tried to pit subjectively #1 and 2...and it’s a helluva lot better than prior BCS as some here are suggesting to go back to where there are teams that “share” national championships and teams “claiming” they won the national championship when they wasn’t a part of the game.

    Prove it on the Gridiron or never let “national champion” come across your brain cells to be transferred to your pie hole or finger tips, even if it’s awarded to your team. Not past, present or future if your desire is to win the conference and be relegated to the Rose bowl or Sugar and play whoever with a chance to be named 1 and possibly receive a participation trophy.

    Nope, rather see whose best in the land CF, as many fans.

    Perhaps this because PAC has had no one win in the CFP, much less the national championship since this “playoff” began?? I’d bet if a PAC team was high, especially Washington in this case, they’d prolly be a different attitude and I’d hear(see) more “national”, yes “NATIONAL” champion vs this regional old subjective biased stick with Rose vs BIG 10 horseshit.... Perhaps...
