Okay, how about a new plan: 16 team playoff and keep ccgs. Big money, big fun! Selection committee puts in BEST 16 teams regardless of record or conference championships. Conference championships games still count as conference championships and fans get to cheer for their teams.

Round 1:
(1) Ohio State vs. (16) Baylor
(2)Clemson vs. (15)Iowa
(3)LSU vs. (14)Notre Dame
(4)Alabama vs. (13)Michigan
(5)Georgia vs. (12)Oregon
(6)Auburn vs. (11)Utah
(7)Penn St vs. (10)Penn St
(8)Oklahoma vs. (9)Wisconsin

I used ESPN FPI to seed, and the teams don't really matter. Upsets are possible and probable. Much like college basketball.

First round at neutral sites, second round At Orange Bowl, Cotton, Sugar and Peach Bowls, third at Rose and Fiesta, Championsip at rotating NFL Stadium. Say Soldier Field?

Typo: (7)Florida vs. (10)PennSt

Also, jff, could add in G5 Championship to play in to #16 slot.

Why'd you remove Florida and have Pedo state play itself?

Yes, was better in late 70s and 80s. Never thought otherwise. Got worse up to the BCS and through it even. Did NOT get worse in the CFP era we are in as you have implied.
I said it's worse today than it was then. Which it is in my opinion. And autobids will make it worse again in my opinion. For the reasons I have stated many times over the years.

I don't know about that. First of all, if you count the AAC and the MVC, you are substituting 4 games for 7.

Here's what a hypothetical eight-team College Football Playoff would look like if the sport's brass changed their outdated thinking. (Yahoo Sports illustration)

I can't see any of these matchups getting higher ratings than the top 4 ccgs. Possibly Clemson/OU or UGA/UU, but I'd still rather see UGA/LSU and OhioST/Wisc.
Georgia/Utah not that sexy, but what if it was USC? Not so sure it wouldn't be higher than any CCG involving Utah.

I asked you to name another year that there was a team outside the top4 that could have won the NC.

It would have to a really good day and really bad day for the other team.
2015 OSU. Wouldn't have bet on them like I might have 2015, but the other OSU teams IMO in 2017 and 2018 had a shot. Maybe last year's UGA.

At least you said in your opinion and not that you know.

I don't think the autobids would promote weak scheduling. It comes down to how seeding and at-large teams are determined and whether or not homefield is used.

What would last years playoff looked like with 5 auto bids and 3 at large?

Hint, a bad UW team with 3 losses is in, and teams from the top 8 are left out. It's not this fair fix for all ills.

I'm not for the auto bids for P5 format but I don't agree with some of the arguments it either. That said, based on the committee rankings 39 of 40 teams that made the playoffs under such a format were top 8 with Washington last year at 9th bumping undefeated #8 UCF.

Yep, of course an upset can happen but very very rare. We don't need to expand for this reason. There aren't enough good reasons to expand and not stay at 4 and most would agree

Yeah and those teams were selected in the top 4
UGA and OSU could not have won it last year? Zero chance?
OSU in 17 or maybe auburn?
PSU, USC or maybe Oklahoma in 16
OSU in 15

Those are off top of my head.

Guessing most want 8. Including those who cover the sport.

It means you won your conference. If you consider that “meaningless”, maybe your team should consider switching to a different conference.


Teams can't just switch conferences. That's part of the problem.
