I have said this many times, but I think it is still a very valid question. With this new system under way it comes into question whether or not it is fair for each conference to have a conference championship. Many times we see a team sitting in the rankings behind a team competing in the conference championship game. They are practically an automatic bid for the playoffs regardless just like Alabama last year and Florida the year before. If a team is ranked 1st in the nation and is undefeated, is it really fair that a team they already beat in their division gets a chance to play for a national title? While they sat at home the team that beat them earlier in the year went out and played an unnecessary extra game. I still think the playoff field needs to be expanded, but I think we need to get rid of Conference Championships.
