No polls for CFP System


Nov 10, 2019, 6:14 PM

Chose the four teams from the five conference champions. Why should the most important games of the year come down to a so called "eye test"? The four best teams have proved it by winning their conference title. One team will be left out but still better than the current system.
I know, its too simple.

The process could be made quite effectively doing the following;
1)Go to 8 teams. The Five conference Champions+ 3 at large( more than likely the runner-up in the champion games)
2)The Five winners of the Conference Championship Games get an automatic berth. But here is where an * is added: Every team is required to join and compete for a Conference Championship. That means Notre Dame. They get no "free pass".Either join, play a conference schedule and play for the title
or play 11 games and go home.
Each team now plays an 11 game schedule;8 conference games,1 game from one of the other Power 5 conferences, most likely on a home/away schedule, one game against a Division II school, and an in-state rival( like Carolina if in a different conference). One regular-season game is dropped in favor of an additional playoff game.
Game #12 is the Conference Championship. The winner advances, the loser waits for his fate.
Here is where another* is needed.No runner up can have 2 loses, which means only one regular-season loss can happen.
After that, a committee reseeds the teams,# 1 thru #8 with the higher seed hosting the first-round game. The final four games are then played at the Rose, Cotton, Sugar, Orange Bowl and Fiesta Bowl with one serving, on a rotating schedule as the final game for all the marbles.
Now if you decide to keep it at 4, as you said one team gets left out, and that should be the team with 1 loss, or the weaker strength of schedule.

Better yet ...

1) All 5 P5 conference champs are in.
3) Let a committee pick 3 more conference champs from G5 schools and independents (highest ranked?).
3) Only one school per confrence. Don't win your conference, too bad. Shut up and go home. Try harder next year.
4) Not in a conference? Join one or schedule an extra game if you want to be considered.

Last year, that would have been Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Notre Dame, UCF, Washington, and Fresno State. No beauty contest, no ridiculous resume or eye-test arguments. Win, you're in; lose, you're out. No stupid, undeserved rematches between teams that just played in conference championships; no second chances for losers. Everybody earns their way in.

Not all conferences are equal, meaning you won’t always get the best four teams from conference champions. That’s why that will never happen.

Define "best 4 teams".


Nov 10, 2019, 7:19 PM

That's the problem now - you can't - not objectively and definitively. It's a guessing game, a beauty contest in large part. It is impossible to determine the 4 best teams. If we could determine the best 4, we could also determine the best 1, and there'd be no reason to have a playoff.

The problem with that is that it does not suck up to the SEC. Sucking up to the SEC is the categorical imperitive. If the system does not allow for 4 SEC teams to be in the playoffs you have to scrap it for another system.
