Early on I was thinking, "Here is one team that shouldn't...

have been mentioned in the same sentence with the word playoff"

Now I'm thinking that it's actually two teams.

This is why I’m not a fan of expanding the playoffs.

I agree that I'm happy with the 4 team playoff

But it looks like we're charging hard toward 8 finalists.

If it has to expand, I would favor a six team format wherein #1 & 2 get a first round bye with #'s 3 through 6 essentially playing in against each other - possibly even on the #3 and #4 home field.

Just my thoughts. I know it's not going to happen.

Could you imagine the whining from Ohio if we got a bye and they had to play an extra game this year?

Just another reason I would like that format

LOL!!

I agree with the 6 team format. You get to 8 and those last 2 maybe teams with 2 losses.

Another point. I do not believe a conference championship entitles you to the playoff. I used to think so, but have changed my mind as it is essentially 1 game that determines the champion as opposed to ending the season without said game and having the total body of work from the season. Too easy to have a 3 loss team from another division catch you on an off day in the championship game.

For example, what if Clemson was undefeated and got upset by a 2 loss mediocre team from the Coastal. Do you really think the team from the Coastal should play for the NC? Heck no. It would lead to more blowouts. Anyone think that Syracuse or Pitt was better than the Tigers back in the day?

For that matter you can even have a worse team from the same division upset a great team and that team does not play for the conference championship. See Auburn and Bama a few years back. Bama beats that team 8 out of 10 times. So there has to be some subjectivity.
