I don’t think two teams from a conference should get in.

Let’s imagine this.

If one can clone Nick Saban and Alabama to 12 Alabama’s and 12 Saban’s and then we put them in a conference, it’s highly likely that none of them will go unbeaten or even have just a few losses. Let’s assume we know it’s the same Alabama we know, so some of these teams should be in the playoff. However, with the current thinking process, none of these “Alabama’s” would make it to the playoff.

My point is having more than one or two losses shouldn’t mean that team doesn’t deserve to be in the playoff.

A conference could be filled with good teams that it’s hard to stay unbeaten, while it might be easy for another conference if it’s filled with bad teams.

My point is, even though the current way to find conference is flawed, the best way to find the national champions is to let champions from the best 4 conferences play each other.

Also, playoff system shouldn’t always mean the best team always win. Look at professional soccer leagues. They have the best system to find champions—a round robin system, home and away. And, yet, they have a “league cup”—a playoff system that some dark horse occasionally wins it.

If I were the one who had influence on the current 4-team playoff system, I wouldn’t have bothered with “the playoff rankings” and “who’s the top 4 that week getting in”. That’s pointless. A projected top-25 ranking would have been something better.

But the ultimate best is the playoff committee rank the conferences week by week. That will show how well their conference is and the chance their conference champions could be in the playoff. And at the end of the regular season, just send the champions from the best 4 conference to the playoffs.

This would have been a better 4-team playoff system.

First and foremost, we have gotta take care of business for the remainder of the schedule, to include putting the pedal down the rest of the way and rack up style points. It didn't matter until we lost, but now, if Ohio should beat Penn St. In a close game, both could still be ahead of us. Laying the smack down on GT, Wulfies, and Chickens can erase that. Past that, imo, I'm pulling for Aubie the rest of the way. If they somehow beat UGA and Bammer, then it will definitely knock out the loser of SEC title game, plus increase our SOS. That means Big 10 Champ, SEC Champ, ACC Champ and one other are in, possibly ND if they win out. I think Big12 and Pac are left out as TCU will lose I believe. OK St and WVU will ruin the conference playoff hopes I believe.
