I must say that I don't like the idea of a playoff system in college football.... IF it extends football past the new year...
Take the top 8 teams....
1 vs. 8
2 vs. 7
3 vs. 6
4 vs. 5
They play a game in mid december.... then... around christmas time... the 4 winners of those games play a game..
then... the remaining two teams play on new years day..
A college playoff system cannot go past the first week of january... after all... those kids do play football, but they're also enrolled in college classes..... it's MUCH easier to make up a final than it is to catch up after missing the first month of class....
BUT.... I still love the motivational factor of having to beat the crap out of EVERY opponent to be considered the number one team in the nation..
I'm afraid with a college football playoff system, we'll see far fewer "dominant" teams.... those teams that you watch and know that there is no one in the NCAA that could beat them...... EVERY game.... growing up... watching Florida State come 1 game away from a national championship for all those years was (even though I was born in Tallahassee and am a die hard fan) ... well.... what I love about college football..... EVERY play meant your season.....
That.... and those of you who say that independents shouldn't be considered.... with a playoff system that doesn't rely on rankings, instead relies on conference champions........ any given team can lose a couple of games, rest your starters in the non conference games, and win their respective conference championships... If a "conference champion" reliant playoff system were used, then we probably would not see many (if any) undefeated teams anymore.... besides if it were that way, then half the SEC wouldn't make it into the playoffs...... And you can't have a college football playoff system without at least the top 3 or 4 SEC teams in it....
the SEC is that good....
oh well.. the suits will make their money.. and continue to destroy everything that is good in life....
