Yeah. We need another 2 weeks of games to figure out Alabama and Clemson are the 2 best teams in college this season.

Don’t forget the unintended consequence of seeing 3 at-large SEC teams making the playoff every year. Which really makes their regular season fairly irrelevant ... Eapecially the conference title game.

Just stick to the NFL. Or, enjoy the FCS or D3 playoffs.

The regular season is meaningless in NCAA basketball. It’s a prolonged pre-season. March Madnesa is a season all to itself, between the conference and NCAA tournaments. And the baseball tourney requires multiple losses to get eliminated.

When is the last time 5 P5 teams went undefeated? You don’t build the playoff for the exception. That makes no sense. Especially, when it has never happened.

Here’s the truth about the playoff, IMO. The discussion will always be about the top 1 or 2 teams in each P5 conference, some quality G5 team, and a 0 or 1-loss Notre Dame. That’s 12 squads, max. And could be as few as 6 or 7 in a given season. When you consider 6-12 squads are really in the...

The same thing they do when a G5 team goes undefeated for 2 straight seasons. Weight their schedules, and compare the quality of their loss. Most folks in favor of playoff expansion are the same folks arguing UCF doesn’t deserve a shot because of their schedule. If you can exclude a team...

Under the current system, you get a champion. And with it only being 4 teams, the odds are higher that the winning team will be the best team. Best of all worlds. How does expanding the playoff make a champion more legitimate?

You get a champion with the current system. You got a champion under the BCS model, too.

You have the playoff because you might have multiple undefeated teams. So, giving them the chance to play each other makes sense. But there’s no reason to expand for 2-loss teams to make it. And any more expansion makes that a real possibility.

An expanded playoff, with a single game elimination scenario, diminishes the likelihood of the “best” team winning. Are folks looking to crown the best team, or are folks just looking for more entertainment?
