However, if the most you have to do is beat Baylor and 3 cupcakes in the OOC or in Clemson's case this season, beat no one all season long....then, it's not right and this is how this stuff happens. .

That crap is prevalent in college football. Heck, the scheduling inside the SEC is patently unfair. There is no way that a division title should be decided primarily by anything other than records against teams in the division (or common opponents if they happen to have had other common opponents). Second or third tie breakers, sure. But the first decider should ALWAYS be division records.

My point is simply that scheduling inequality is part of the game, and it pisses me off to no end.

Clemson may be one of the best four teams in the country. But they sure haven't earned the right to be in the playoffs.

this shows there is no reason to expand the CFP

In the five year history of the CFP, the #4 team has won it twice. The #2 team has won it the other three times. Should we eliminate the #1 seed, since they're 0 for 5?

Every other level of college football has a playoff with more than 4 teams. Most are in the 16 to 28 range.

Don't let this game, in which an elite SEC team blew out an overrated Big 12 "power", cloud your vision. Under the current system, the UCF's of the world will never get a shot at the FBS Championship. They play the same game, at the same tier. They deserve a legitimate chance to play against the big boys for all the marbles.

Go Vols.

Neither are "much" better than OU. Both are trash compared to LSU, OSU, and Clemson.

LSU beat Bama by 5. Tua hurt in TN game and not 100%. They beat UGA by about half what they did tonight. They were banged up too. So you’re hate clouds your vision.

No, UCF does not play "at the same tier." There is a significant difference between the G5 and the Power 5.

What needs to happen is the Big XII dies and the playoff is played between the 4 conference champs.

FBS. Same tier. P5 -vs- G5. Different levels.

You'll be writing about my prediction long before yours, if yours even happens.

Go Vols.

The committee is not the problem. The BCS would have returned the same 4 teams.

The BCS was BS too so that doesn’t make the Committee any better.
For a sport played over 120 years:
1: over 100 years champions were determined by a poll
2: then it comes up with a “system “ to get the 2 so called “best” teams to play and determine the championship
3: a committee picks 4 to playoff for championship
4: How many PHD’s does it take to have a true playoff, like every other level of American football has and every other sport on the planet?

Every other level of college football is also picked by a committee. Why would a committee be inevitably better at picking 8, 16, 32, etc than they are at picking 4? We hear griping every year about the NCAA basketball tourney, so 68 is obviously not the magic number.
