Playoff should be 8 teams


Oct 11, 2015, 2:54 PM

Most certainly "the best" team in America will be represented in the top 8. I'm dubious about the current 4 team selection process. Because of emotions and bias it is highly likely the team which "could" win it all will be left to watch it unfold on TV.

That will never happen because it would almost assure that a SEC Team will never be in the championship game again much less the final top 4.

WOW now I really wish it would it happen.

It will only take the SEC being left outside looking n and BOOM....we'll have an eight team playoff. It's that simple.

When the SEC gets left out of the playoff you'll...

This won't happen until all Power 5 conferences have a championship game.

8 is coming but I hope they stop there. Maybe do another playoff include all the conference Champs from the non power 5 plus 9,10,and 11. Then cut the bowls about 1/3 to a half.

I think 6 would be a great

number. This way you get all P5 Champs as well as a wildcard from the other conferences. Furthermore, you include incentive for teams to battle amongst the top to get a bye for teams ranked 1 and 2. Only thing I would want worked out is a fully transparent ranking system so that there is minimal bias to get the "name" teams those byes and an easier path. I think 8 playoff teams is just a tad too many .

Better to have "a tad too many" than a tad too few.

The people saying four is enough don't seem to understand how much more subjective the selections can be, with just four. I personally think the five P5 conference champs should be automatically in...no subjectivity there, you win your conference, you are in the playoff. With the system we have now, there is usually no head to head to determine who is most worthy among the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th teams.

Just imagine if we end up having all five conference winners with one loss, and let's say our one loss is by one point to Miami. Who's to say we still aren't just as good, or better than those other one loss teams. But because we are in the "weak" ACC, we are left out.
