I guess the four team playoff system is better than nothing but while we wait on the Big Bowl cartel to get their palms greased during this long contract, let's have some fun and bounce ahead to a real playoff format; done with a twist of Vegas. I'll precede with a quick summary of why Vegas is involved.
First, imagine Condalesa Rice sitting in on a Vegas Odds makers War Room on any given Sunday. "Condalesa, do you know who Baylor is? "Yes". "They are playing Oklahoma, at Baylor, and the Sooners have won 24 of the last 25, they are both ranked and Baylor has played nobody...what would be a good point spread in your opinion"? "Uh, well...uhm...I don't know? I would think maybe -3"? "Mrs. Rice, do you know what Baylor's mascot is"? ..."Uh,...Bears I think"..."Good, how about who their quarterback is and how many years he has been starting"? .....(uncomfortable silence)..."never mind"
Hopefully you get my point on how outclassed she would be; hence, to make a valid playoff format one should first and foremost lay aside all the hype and get an opinion from someone who REALLY KNOWS who the best teams are on a neutral site. With that in mind here's a look at a real playoff format using a 12 Team model and infusing a selection committee that has real pros choosing the best teams:
8. South Carolina
9. Georgia
5. LSU
12. Baylor
6. Stanford
11. Wisconson
7. Clemson
10. Missouri
1. Alabama
8. Georgia
4. Ohio St
5. LSU
3. Oregon
11. Wisconson
2. Florida St
7. Clemson
1. Alabama
5. LSU
3. Oregon
2. Florida St
1. Alabama
2. Florida St
ALABAMA wins third straight...A.J. McCarron slips on fourth ring and smacks all his naysayers!
