Maybe they should talk to their conference champ about not getting blown out by a .500 team in consecutive years.

Being the conference champ is a tough row to hoe. Some years, in some conferences, it will produce multiple loss teams...
Ranked by whom? UPI? AP? A committee? A computer algorithm? Some local Shriner's Club?
Not in an 8 team playoff Oregon would not be left out
And can we possibly come up with a more fresh example than 5 loss Wisconsin?
It's been pointed out...idk a hundred times that that division consisted of 8-0 OSU and 6-2 PSU and they took 4-4 Wisky.
I've also added eliminating divisions to that AQ discussion which even with those two on probation would've left Wisconsin out of the title game that year.
So if it is virtually the same, why have a need for auto-bids? If a team can’t finish the season in the top 8, then they really have no right to claim they should be in the playoffs.If you took the “best 8” as determined by the polls/Committee, you get
Bama
Clemson
ND
OU
UGA
tOSU
Michigan
UCF
If you take the 5 auto-bids, unbeaten G5, and remaining at large, you get the same list with the exception of Washington replacing Michigan. Is that REALLY egregious?
People bringing up “well, we could have 4- and 5-loss teams getting in!!!” are referring to anomalies we would see every 10 years or so. I am opposed to making rules based on aberrations. I also prefer simple rules to complicated ones.
Win your P5 conference or go unbeaten and you are in. Otherwise, you are on the chopping block for at-large. Oh, and disband the Committee. Use the Massey Composite to determine at large teams and seeds.

Because UCF does trash scheduling. Why should we reward teams for playing garbage OOC and playing in a weak conference?Autobids GUARANTEE teams that THEY control their destiny. WRT “top 8”, WHOSE “top 8”? Last year the Committee left UCF out of their top 8. Why should we trust them to do better?
Not a fan of this part bug. Let's use 2014 for example.Take the 8 top ranked teams and let them go at it.
That is the best reason to do it right there.I think the legitimate fear that Disney has is that expanding the playoffs would have a disastrous effect on the rest of their bowl lineup.
You are going to lose your blue blood fan card for statements like this. Keeping "huddled in a room voting on who get in" keeps the riff raff out. We can't tolerate a way for riff raff to get in. They need to stay in their place.Not sure why people are so aghast over the potential of a 3 loss playoff team as opposed to a bunch of people huddled in a room voting on who gets in. The latter is much more absurd.

You know I love me some Massey composite
Agreed accross the board diego
Bad post, stop being obsessed with me
For your phony defense? Not my excuses to make, amigo.Awww, did you run out of excuses?
It's funny how desperate you are to disparage people on here just because your program savior has failed and your team/conference is irrelevant to the CFP in general.It’s fun how fast OSU fans, the dumb ones, are ready to accept that they’re probably gonna shit the bed every year, so expanding the playoff is a good thing now.
They are given a chance to compete.
It took 32 years but a 16 finally beat a #1 ly in basketball.
If the Sun Belt is so bad that they don't get a chance to compete,
then P5 teams should not be allowed to play them...right?
