This is so bad for college football. Fans are really gonna see thru the farce we call “playoffs” and realize it’s a rigged system designed to benefit the elites.

I thought the purpose of playoffs was to find the elite teams?

 

[EngDawg]

Simple solution would be an eight team playoff with each conference champion being an automatic qualifier, two at large power five wildcards chosen by committee, and an at large group of five team chosen by committee. Then it’s fair for everyone.

Agree except I have contended since the beginning that there should be 5 PF conference champion auto qualifiers and 3 at-large. And everything is seeded 1-whatever using a computer formula. The formula inputs and weights for each input would be agreed upon by all D-1 teams prior to the playoffs. The top 8 teams the computer spits out are in the playoffs and seeded accordingly. Seeds 9-26 can be used to fill the next 9 top bowls. After #26....the lowest bowls can wheel and deal however they want for remaining teams regardless of their seed.

The point is mainly .....Take the Committee out of the Seed Determination.....ie....take out the human bias. Once a year the computer formula can be adjusted....but it has to pass by at least 75% of all the D-1 schools voting.

And if people say an extra playoff game makes the season too long......then reduce all schedules by one OOC game to an eleven game reg. season.

Danny Kannell is a moron with severe penis envy. Those teams won on the field. Would it have been less of a farce to him if Clemson had beaten Alabama? Didn't think so.

And everyone needs to stop with the UCF BS. They are a good football team but auburn crapped the bed yesterday. Bama and Georgia would roll them. Hell, I believe we would roll them.

 

[rem101]

If it were a playoff game, I think Auburn rolls them. They had 0 interest in that game after being 1 win away from a playoff spot.

I really don't understand his pathological hatred for the SEC. He seems like a pretty good guy otherwise. How was this rigged? Clemson had their chance. Oklahoma had their chance. Southern Cal and the whole PAC 12 proved they weren't ready for prime time. I agree the playoff should be 8 teams and Ohio St., Wisconsin, Southern Cal and UCF should have been included. But it's pretty unlikely the end result would have been any different.

If it goes to 8 teams, people will still ***** about something, most likely how the teams get seeded. "We had to play Bama in the first round, while they had to play UCF" or some nonsense like that.

There's always something to ***** about, and Kanell is always going to be the lead bitcher if it means the SEC wins anything.

 

[West Tn Dawg]

The biggest thing I see is everybody is sick of Alabama and the SEC winning the Championship most years.
It doesn't matter if there are 4 teams or 16 teams. If you don't want them winning, then BEAT THEM!!

 

[Hump4Hoops]

It's his shtick. He does what gets him clicks.

He's become the "SEC hate" guy, so he plays up that character to get clicks. It's what guys like Skip Bayless have done for decades - just be a loud ******* with a stupid opinion in order to stay in the conversation.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

Soooooo the BCS with an 8-team playoff?

And you are correct, we'd likely still be looking at the same championship game.

Clemson v UCF
Oklahoma v USC
UGA v Wisc
Bama v OSU

Why do you think my "girls play sports?" schtick has been so successful through the years?

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

SEC hate is the only real answer.

The rest of the nation were already jealous of the prestige, tradition, passion, and money of the SEC. Their anger reached a high point under the BCS run the SEC had, particularly when Bama played LSU for the title.

So they invented a 4 team playoff system. And they were absolutely happy with the Playoff when it yielded Ohio State versus Oregon for the Championship...they did not complain or call for the Playoff to be expanded because it had seemed to achieve their intended goal of stopping the SEC from winning College Football Championships.

But now the SEC has 2 teams in the Playoff Championship Game and they are unhappy again. And they are calling for an expanded Playoff or any number of different new rules that should be made to the Playoff system now.

"Conference Champions Only", "Strength of Schedule", "Should have to play NINE Conference Games", "Eye Test", blah, blah, blah, la, la, la, da, da, da. I don't care which stated narrative they use...the clear unstated motive / force driving their talking points is "We are tired of the SEC, God I wish we could keep the SEC out of the Playoffs".

Funny how OSU last year seemed to get a pass for not winning the Big 10

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

A better solution would be for the committee to give us the 8 BEST teams, period. To hell with automatic bids to P5 conference champions and the nod to socialism and participation trophies with giving a precious bid to a G5 team. To heck with that. Just allow the committee to choose the eight best teams, perhaps using the BCS formula to help guide their choices. We have seen years where the top 3 teams in the SEC West are all better than some P5 conference champions and ALL of the G5 teams. I cannot express my disdain enough at the notion of placing a G5 team in an 8 team playoff if the CFP rankings has that same G5 team anywhere outside the top 8.

[JoMo MoJo]

Danny Kannell is a talentless twit that seized upon the anti-SEC sentiment as the sole reason for ESPN to retain him. He is the Paul Finebaum, albeit nowhere near as successful, of the rest of college athletics not associated with the SEC.

 

[Dawg1976]

I'm glad he's mad. Means the system is working just fine.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

And it’s been shown twice now that, no matter what you use to determine the best team (BCS or CFP), Alabama will be in play most years.

Kanoodle can hate all he wants but Alabama is the established benchmark for football success

 

[kired]

I prefer EngDawg's method except I'd include a rule that the G5 school has to be ranked in the top 12 or 15 to get a bid. So basically that means they'd have to be undefeated. If any G5 school is good enough to run the table and get enough respect from the CFP committee to be ranked that high, I'm fine giving them a spot that likely would have gone to a 10-2 P5 school.

Using that rule, there would not have been a G5 school in an 8 team playoff in 2014 or 2015.

 

[Ranchdawg]

Only a matter of time

before this happens. UCF has a rightful claim to the NC. Undefeated and beat the team that beat Bummer.

You just chose to equate your 'successful' sexism to Skip Bayness. You are proud to be the Skip Bayless of SPS.

Damn. That needs to be the little message under your name- 'Proud to be the Skip Bayless of SPS.'

Boom.

 

[Junction John]

I still don't see how he's still trying to make the argument that Bama and UGa shouldn't have been in the playoffs. They both WON. If he wants to *****, complain that 1-loss Oklahoma and Clemson took Ohio St and UCF's spots. Apparently those are the two teams that shouldn't have been in the playoffs, if you want to use some logic. Which he doesn't.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Why would it be okay to f over a power 5 team ranked 8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th in the final regular season CFB poll in order to place a 12th to 15th ranked directional Florida, Boise State, directional Michigan, La Tech, etc in an 8 team playoff for the national championship?

I prefer EngDawg's method except I'd include a rule that the G5 school has to be ranked in the top 12 or 15 to get a bid. So basically that means they'd have to be undefeated.

[kired]

No committee is ever going to rank a G5 school in the top 8 when they haven't played a tough schedule because it's impossible to judge how good they really are. And none of them can see the future enough to schedule multiple quality P5 opponents years in advance so they have a strong schedule every year. You either completely leave them out of the rankings, or give them some way to get a team into our mythical 8-team playoff.

And the purpose of a playoff is not to find the best team - it's to crown a champion. If you take all P5 conference champions then you've given every P5 team a way to make the playoff. And you're even giving 1-3 wild card spots for the ones that couldn't win their conference. In my opinion, making a way for G5 teams to reach they playoff crowns a truer champion than eliminating over half the teams in the FBS before any games are played.

And you're proud to be the Rosa Luxembourg of SPS.

 

[goodknight]

No to conference champions and 3 at large. I thought the idea was to get the BEST teams in whether it be the current 4 team format or 8 in the future. If you believe in polls and computer rankings you take the top 8 whomever they may be.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Hot dang! Then we must be qualified!

We beat the team that beat the team that beat both of the teams in the Championship Game!

 

[patdog]

No. The idea is to find the ONE best team and crown it as champion. If you win a P5 conference, you have an argument that you're the best team. Adding the highest ranked G5 champion ensures that everyone has a legitimate chance regardless of rankings. If you don't win your conference and you're not even the 2nd at large, you have no case.
