Of course it won't happen ,Hero, because major college football is the only sport on Earth at any level in which the championship of that sport is NOT administered by the governing body of the sport. There is the problem, plain and simple, and why we'll probably never have a fair and inclusive championship.
We waited for a hundred years for them to get off their arses. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

Don't need any computers or voters...we have standings from 10 leagues including their champions. Think outside of the opinionated and mythical box. Not gonna happen.

It wasn’t perfect but instead of optimizing we threw out the baby with the bath water. I think eight is the right number for a playoff. The biggest problem with the BCS was, it was just TWO teams. If they used a full computer system, like SAGARIN even, and picked 8? You'd be SURE to have the most deserving teams included. They could actually do that, and avoid anti-trust issues. Maybe, that's the way out here? I only looked at it as the best rating we ever used...IMHO I vote for Sagarin and eight.

I thought the BCS Plan was much better and said from day one the committee is a small poll in which bias is magnified. Did you think the BCS had a better plan. My memory is everybody but me hated the BCS rating. I support your computer rating idea 100%. The BCS was 2/3 opinion and 1/3 computers so the computer polls never carried enough weight to make a difference.
Look at 2006 Ohio State and ttun clearly had the best resumes. ttun lost in a 3 point shootout on the road. They also handed Wiscy there only loss that season. Florida won a lot a close games in the SEC and also lost to Auburn by 10.
Then we have 2011 which both LSU and Bama got in with their rematch where the first game had absolutely no offense whatsoever. That year you had a 1 loss Andew Luck team that won the Pac 12 and also a 1 loss otherOSU team.
Then in 2007 a 2 loss SEC team gets the nod over a 1 loss team from a P5.
From my perspective the SEC has always gotten the benefit of the doubt. Only potential season that would be in question is Auburn 2004 but then again they chose to schedule Patsy U for their non conference games.
It wasn’t perfect but instead of optimizing we threw out the baby with the bath water. I think eight is the right number for a playoff. I just watched part of the OSU Pro day. Fields looks amazing.

Just write the rules so the SEC can never have more than one team and be done with it. I would have no problem if SEC gets every at large bid as long as it was done on a predetermined ranking system and not by a bunch of former coaches and AD's doing the eye test. In Ohio for High School football, they have a computer system that ranks the teams. Why can't college football come up with a system as well?

Notre Dame beat Alabama 5 of the first 6 they ever played. If you can imagine my two favorite teams are Alabama and the team playing Nd.

One rule about college football is there is always someone that stomps your team's ass consistently. For example, Ohio State had lots of issues with Clemson, but they purged those demons in the playoff. Notre Dame has had problems with Ohio State. What team has given your team fits?
For FSU, it has been Oklahoma throughout the years...they don't play often, but OU has dominated the series, including the 2000 championship
For LSU, Alabama has been the SEC thorn in their side, especially the last 10 years.
LSU is also 2-7 vs. FSU, but most surprisingly, they are 0-5 against Nebraska...never beaten the Cornhuskers
Alabama and LSU once was a lot closer to even. Funny point for a while the away team won almost every year.

I’ve followed Bball less this year than any in the past 30. But, from what I’ve seen? Gonzaga has looked good. I told you all a few posts ago that I cheer for Gonzaga after UK, Louisville and Texas Why Gonzaga?

Still blows my mind that LSU is even in the tournament when their coach is on an fbi tape discussing paying a certain recruit to sign with the program. The NCAA worshipper never say a word.
