Playoffs starting early next season. For teams 1 through 4 if they win then they got a boogie to give. If they loose then each week becomes a playoff game. This is what differentiates college football from every other sport.

This is what differentiates college football from every other sport. Only the mythical playoffs start early next season. why ??..because the schedules are vastly imbalanced. A mythical imbalanced schedule playoff can never take the place of a fair inclusive post season elimination playoff like all other NCAA sports ( including football ) have. Isn't it coincidental that the only team sport on planet Earth with a subjective driven championship system is also the only team sport on planet Earth with a championship not administered by and awarded by the governing body of the sport ? |

Regardless if it is a mythical or actual playoff, I still get far more entertainment out of college football than I do out of any other sport. I can barely watch the regular season of college basketball because the games mean so little. If Kansas, NC, or Kentucky play and lose it is no big deal. They have had there place in the tournament for weeks. The only games that matter right now are games with teams that are on the bubble. So when teams like a 15 - 13 Pitt plays a 16 -12 GT they are fighting for there lives to get to the tournament. And if they make it they would be very lucky if they even get past the first game. On the other hand, the regular season means everything in college football. Call the playoff whatever you want but it is by far much much better than the Bowl System of 20+ years ago. |

The CF 'regular season' cannot be all that meaningful, however, with all those rent-a-win FBS -FCS games, some teams playing 8 home games, some playing 5 and 'custom' scheduling in general. The regular season can't be all that meaningful when major conference champions are denied national championship opportunities yet divisional runner ups get voted directly into the final four. I still contend that without a meaningful post season the regular season can't be very meaningful |

That's where you're wrong: There IS a meaningful post-season, and teams must have an excellent regular season to get there. Every game matters. Only wins keep your dreams alive.

The regular season can't be all that meaningful when major conference champions are denied national championship opportunities yet divisional runner ups get voted directly into the final four. I still contend that without a meaningful post season the regular season can't be very meaningful I am with Bevo on this one. To me the regular season has by far more meaning than any other sport. This is why I am glued to the TV on CF football Saturdays. No doubt there is an imbalance of schedules but it is a risk vs reward. Last season, tOSU went on the road and beat Oklahoma and it was a huge difference maker to have tha win plus only having one loss which put them in the mix. On the other hand Washington played it safe and only made the cut because there were no other 1 loss teams left in the field. Western Michigan did run the table but did not have a win over a top 25 program. Had Houston run the table they would have been in because they did schedule teams like Oklahoma and Lousiville. I get you point about the meaningful post season because 50% of G5 are eliminated from the playoff before their first game because of their schedule. This will continue to be the case until teams from conference like the MAC and Sun Belt start winning OOC on a consistent basis. However, teams in the P5 it is simply run the table and you are in no matter who you are. |

However, teams in the P5 it is simply run the table and you are in no matter who you are. I was thinking about that... I guess, "technically", it's not correct. It's theoretically possible for all five P5 conference to have undefeated Champs. So, someone gets left out. It's more likely that, a P5 Champ could go undefeated, but come from a conference that's having a really weak year... and, get left out over a 1-Loss team from an incredibly strong conference. I think that's still pretty darn unlikely. But, we still don't have enough history with this committee to know what they'll do. The basic problem in the FBS is: there is FAR TOO MUCH imbalance in the schedules... both between conferences, and even within conferences. If there were more balance, I think more people would be supportive of some kind of Auto-Pick system, with more participants. But, that's not the current reality. The CFP is an attempt to weigh all the various factors, and find the four best (& most deserving) teams. It's far from perfect, but.... I'd say it's working pretty well so far. |

I thought about that scenario as well but the chances of five P5 champs all being undefeated are about 0. The imbalance in schedules is a significant justification to why we have the committee. I think there are way to many factors with an unbalanced schedule to weigh teams mathematically. Until they expand beyond 4 teams or possibly force teams to play balanced schedules then I think the committee makes the most sense in terms of the selection process. |
