    This current system is essentially ran by ESPN. Too corrupt

    Voted for return to bowls. I liked the discussion and arguments when it wasn’t clear on the field which team should be crowned. CFP makes the traditional bowls less important.

    Current “playoff” is worse than past bowl system

    A better playoff system is better than past bowl system

    5 auto bids; one from each conference winner

    6 play-in teams (3 games) determined by highest ranking that didn’t win conference championship game or are from non P5 or independent.

    Play-in games at higher rank home field.

    After play-in games to an 8 team playoff

    Round of 8: home field of higher seeded team

    Round of 4: bowl game site

    Championship: bowl game site

    All P5 conference must have championship game
    All P5 teams must play at least 9 conference and 2 OOC games
    All P5 teams must play at least one OOC game against another P5 opponent
    No games against div2/fcs opponents will count


    Or just go full commie soccer relegation mode

    I'd do a hybrid in which the top two teams play a week after NYD.

    The playoff lost me when two SEC teams played each other. Again.

    I go back and forth. The new BCS meant more good, meaningful games so I miss it.

    On the other hand I want 1991 Miami.

    If they can't come up with a playoff format that involves more teams and games, approximately equaling the number of traditionally good bowl games, then I'd prefer going back.

    I would like 8 teams. 5 conference champs and 3 at large.

    The BCS was stupid because it was ESPN driven. It would have been nice to see the Pete Carroll USC teams get some more cracks at winning a title.

    The playoff is fun. Like others have said, it needs to be 8 teams. There is a way to still have the real bowl games mean something and have a true champion.

    I fixed a typo or autocorrect issue that makes me look like leas of a dipshit.

    Going back to the Bowls would be lame now after we’ve already had the playoff. The bets should play the best.

    With the old bowl system an undefeated team would sometimes play a team with 3 losses. Ohio State being undefeated and playing a 2-3 loss Oregon or Utah team would suck.

    Undefeated Penn State got stuck with Oregon in 94 and Nebraska won the natty

    I like watching elite teams play elite teams.

    I also don’t trust the new age media to objectively vote on a national champion. Now it’s less reporters and more guys who try to get as many clicks as possible to keep their shitty dying newspapers alive

    To add: Adam Jude was an AP voter up until last year. Adam fucking Jude would’ve had a 1/65th say in crowning a national champion. No thanks

    I used to be #TeamPlayoff, but now I’m nostalgic for the old system. That being said, I can’t see how reverting back would work.

    To me the 8 team play off is just another step towards the eventual 32 team super conference. So fuck it - no more half measure. Either make CF into the NFL or don't. All this 'tweener shit is lame.
