(01-07-2018 02:50 PM)TroyFootball05 Wrote:  All fair points. At the end of the day I just want the best teams. Eye test or not, Alabama belongs, and showed they belong. Not Ohio State, not Penn State, not Wisconsin. Alabama is simply better than the rest that got left out, "fairness" and "deservedness" be damned. Alabama will likely win it all. Are we still going to complain that Ohio State or Wisconsin didn't get in? I can sympathize with UCF fans, but they are not one of the Top 4 and should not get in just because they went undefeated.

In hindsight, I don't necessarily have a problem with championships deciding playoffs, because there's not a lot of other data. I just think from a purely philosophical viewpoint it seems flawed. Alabama is just better than the rest. They play a 12 game season and lost one game, a rivalry game, vs a red hot Auburn team. All the other games didn't matter? That's not how it works when judging who is the best team in a college football season. You guys are confusing fairness and deservedness, with who is actually the best.

I'd like to see an 8 team playoff, but nothing beyond that. That would solve some of the G5 complaining. It's possible in some years a lower seed is actually the best team. I get it, everyone wants a chance. I'd be curious to see how often an 8 seed, or a 16 seed, in a playoff format has won it all. You can argue principle of fairness and inclusion, and I'll argue the practical nature of whether they belong in a playoff by looking at the percentage that lower seeded teams actually win the whole thing. I'd gather it's relatively low because they get the Top 4 or 5 teams right.

An 8-team playoff is better, but is still not a sports league and remains subjective as to who "deserves" to get in and perpetuates treating some league members as "special".

A 12-team playoff with all conference champions and two wildcards is what I would go for. Your "eye test" stuff takes place in the seeding, like all other sports. The "best" teams get bye weeks.

And you are right, lower-seeded teams from the G5 conferences will have less chance of winning. Just like a 15-seed has less chance of winning than a 1-seed does. But what it does do is start to lessen the competitive gap between the 10 conferences in FBS. The gap will always be there of course, but it will be less over time and healthier for everyone when everyone is playing for the same thing and recruiting for the same thing.
