So if there were no playoffs this year

[fordman84]

Would things be any better? Who would be in the Championship game? I'd think without playoffs, FSU would still be #1 but maybe not. I don't see a lot of difference between the top 6 or so teams, so just the top 4 isn't tough but the top 2 is.

I think you would have FSU vs Bama in the natty

Oregon - tOSU in Rose Bowl

TCU - Miss St in Sugar

Baylor - Zona/Mich St in the Fiesta

Talk about some tears and frustrations!

The playoffs allow other conferences 1 loss teams a second chance. Something that just didn't happen outside of the sec in the past.

I love the CFP

people are going to be left out and upset and butthurt and whatnot, but it's better to have 2 teams left out than 4

2001 Nebraska didnt play in the BIG XII title game, played for bcs title.
2003 Oklahoma lost the BIG XII title game, played for bcs title.

2008 1 loss OU made the title game

But now that we're down to the Conf. champ games, I think we're seeing that 4 teams is not enough.

All I know is this beats the holy hell out of the BCS and it ain't close.

that's nothing compared to the 2nd chances Florida, Auburn, Alabama and LSU got

I think we're seeing (for the most part) the Conf. Champ games serving as a de-facto 1st round of the playoffs.

I do too Auburn has been screwed too many times in the past and it almost happened in 2010 & 2013. We would probably have at least one more national championship by now between:

1983
1987
2004
