A nice, fair 8 team playoff would be.... Major conference winners plus 2 at large teams. You want to make it ,10,12 then you have a board/commitee like NCAA. A team like Baylor could drop 50 on any team on any given day. USC is playing great, maybe these type of teams could be voted in.

LSU
Bama
Stanford
Wisconsin
OK ST
Oregon
Va Tech
Clemson

Its an example. Va Tech was highly ranked all year. Plus they are my team. I know what USC is on, but they also beat Oregon.

The bottom line is we both agree there should be a playoff... Then my stupid way of making a playoff and your brillant way would eventually be decided on the field. Right?

I didnt say your way was stupid or mine brilliant just that you cant include the 17th ranked team that just lost by 28 in an 8 team playoff. But yes a playoff has almost no downside.

Just when I was starting to have high hopes for you. I hear enough foolish talk from everyone around here about how great they are.

Clearly I was messing around, thats why I put in the because they are my team part. Im not joking about OK St though. Why should a team who lost as a 31 point favorite be allowed to play in the National Championship game?

Seems like this is one thing we could all rally around President Obama on. In 2008, he said

"I think any sensible person would say that if you've got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there's no clear decisive winner that we should be creating a playoff system. Eight teams. That would be three rounds, to determine a national champion. It would add three extra weeks to the season. You could trim back on the regular season. I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this. So, I'm gonna throw my weight around a little bit. I think it's the right thing to do."

Last time I checked, Obama was a politician. They never do what they say they are going to do.
