Playoff selection committee members (first 6 announced)

Actually it has nothing specifically to do with my team but simple minds tend to migrate to that argument.

I've outlined why it is a bad idea. It's simple math and psychology.

All I ask is that the current system minus the coach's poll (as they are obviously bias and the sample is too small) be used to get the final four.

It is "biased" not bias. Why is this so hard for so many people?

And no, you haven't outlined shit other than your own opinion that isn't supported by facts.

A small committee actually eliminates corruption as they can come to a genuine consensus. You know, just like a 12 man jury amongst your peers deciding your fate.

Facts are 1/12 is greater than 1/100. You don't get that?

Agree. Makes zero sense if a conference champ is automatically in the playoffs. However, if they made it where conference champs get in if they are within a certain ranking....say the top 8-10, then that would be ok.

I may be taking this out of context with the gynormity of this thread but this is a good start. Every Conf. would need to have a CCG, take the human voted polls completely out. We'd be just about the same as the BCS formula cept with a playoff format.

There would be a degree of disadvantage to larger Conferences being only 1 team would move forward, but that serves them right for letting cable tv denote the size of your cockroll

That's the real reason we dropped Sparty...so some internet dumbass wouldn't call a schedule with a 6-2 Big Ten team on it "mid-major".

Are you really saying that a teams second best win, against the 5th best team in the worst year in the history of the Big Ten, is a good schedule? They beat three FBS teams that had a winning record. THREE!!! Boise St does better than that most years.

I think I agree. Why not keep the current system for choosing the top 4? (minus the coaches poll)

 

[MellowYellow]

The coaches poll is a joke since most coaches have their SIDs do it for them. Granted, the SIDs are more informed about the entire landscape of CFB because of the huge time-commitment running a program takes. They should label it what it is and call it the SID poll.

Too bad for Auburn. Condi won't be showing them any love.

The 4th best team can now win a national title.

 

[Ironbreaker]

The 4th best team can now win a national title.

Only after winning two games though, so whats wrong with that? Apparently those other guys were overrated.

The 4th best based on what? Whose opinion? That's the whole point!

No, I'm saying that you're better off not scheduling a Big Ten team, because it will likely take away from your resume and not add to it.
