Alabama has four top-50 wins by S&P+. One of those was on the road. Alabama has consistently blown out its competition, while Miami has not. You can’t just discount a win on the road at Mississippi State as "not that great" while granting Miami credit for a one-point home win over Georgia Tech. Also, Miami has struggled to beat basically half of its schedule, while Alabama has won by 20+ a whole bunch of times. Miami needed last-minute, miracle type plays to recover against FSU and GT. In the last 4 games they have forced 16 turnovers. That's unlikely to prove sustainable. Miami sounds like an Ohio State team I saw beat them once.... Albeit with an assist from a zebra. You are 100% right about the assist from the zebra's. Had the zebra's not missed 2 clear holdings and called a catch by Chris Gamble out of bounds when he was clearly in then OT would have never happened. The next play Roscoe Parrish returned a punt 50 yards to setup the fiield goal to tie the game. video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-mozilla-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=mozilla&p=chris+gamble+holding+calls+national+championship#id=1&vid=adfe75a0d7d86a3e4eca847b6fa9af45&action=click

This video doesn't matter to people who want to believe Miami was screwed on a play that never should have happened. The clock was at 2:15 when OSU should have had a 1st down either by penalty or a completed pass. They would have been able to almost run out the clock. Miami kicked the tying FG on the last play of regulation. Plus, they had 1st and goal from the 2 in the second OT and couldn't punch it in. PLUS ----it was pass interference. Doesn't matter, there's no such thing as a national championship in college football, anyway!

This year is yet again a reminder that 8-team playoff would not be as fun as you think. ACC and SEC title games would be meaningless, OSU sleepwalks into field, USC also gets in

ACC and SEC title games would be meaningless, OSU sleepwalks into field, USC also gets in This year, a TWO TEAM playoff would be the optimum... There is NO CHANCE that more than two team have any legitimate claim to a title. Depending on how things play out, it well be only ONE team.

Didn't Phil Steele do a study showing that most every year, 4 would have been optimum?

Just the opposite. If the FBS had a championship playoff there would be at least 5X the critical 'crunch time' games remaining to determine league titles-autobids, plus the at-large slots....compared to the hand full of meaningful games remaining to determine who gets voted into the Invitational

Yes... He dud. Four was the right number in the majority of years. Two was the next closest.

The excitement level is not the same when a loss just means you drop down a few seeds as opposed to being OUT of the chase.

Actually, 4 would be a very good number for any playoff, just as long as the 4 best teams are selected to compete. Unfortunately, in the real world that rarely happens. How often do all of the top-4 seeds in any playoff reach the semifinals?

The excitement level is not the same when a loss just means you drop down a few seeds as opposed to being OUT of the chase. cpa, CBS just ran story about the 8 or 9 remaining 'meaningful' games in the CFP Invitational system. Tha's about 6% of the remaining FBS schedule . That means 94% of the remaining FBS games are relatively meaningless. The combined last two weeks of the FCS, DII and DIII 'championship' divisions features far more than 6%' meaningful' games regarding access to the playoffs. No comparison for the Invitational mythical system vs championship playoffs.

It’s not CPA, it’s Bevo.
The lower divisions are starting to get excited now, sure...cause their “season” is just about to begin. Very little, before now, mattered.
Meanwhile, FBS teams have been living in the edge all year.
It’s different. Neither way is any more correct than the other. They’re just different.

Meanwhile, FBS teams have been living in the edge all year. It’s different. Neither way is any more correct than the other. They’re just different. actually bevo, the 9 remaining 'meaningful' games according to CBS included 4 conference champ games...which leaves only 5 'meaningful' games in the last two weeks of the FBS regular season...5 games out of 130 to be played in the final two weeks !!!! That computes to 3.8% meaningful football to be played in the exhibition division. No other football division or any team sport on Earth has only 3.8% of its final two week crunch time competition being meaningful.Different for sure, but the CFP system featuring 96.2% of its final two weeks of competition being meaningless /...no good.
