Yeah I'm on board with the idea of staying at a four team playoff. As annoying as this scenario is, about half the fun of my season is watching big name schools lose on the road to teams like Iowa, or Iowa State, or whoever else has the hot hand this week knowing that it's crippled that big name schools season immensely. If we put all the conference champions in a playoff it basically makes OOC games meaningless. If we just go with what's perceived to be the best 8 teams then we're going to have scenarios where 2 loss teams are absolutely in contention, and probably the odd year where a 3 loss team is in the mix... Which again makes those exciting October upsets kind of meaningless. College football is great because every single game has a huge amount of meaning and implication on the season. If that gets chipped away it's one step closer to the classy cocktail party at the mayors house known as the NFL, rather than the greasy college kegger where you wake up on the lawn the next morning wondering what happened.

Just for fun, here's a probable 8 team playoff (seeding can differ depending on if the P5 champs get the top 5 spots or not) 1. Clemson 2. Oklahoma 3. Georgia 4. Ohio State 5. Alabama 6. USC 7. UCF 8....... And once again we're debating things.Is it 1 loss Wisconsin? TCU? 3 Loss Auburn with a better resume than Wisconsin? And then granted there are some exciting games there, but it also potentially makes a couple of conference championship games sort of irrelevant. Or when Alabama rolls into the final week knowing they've got a spot no matter what. Or Georgia probably clinching before their championship game. Seems like a really slippery slope to me.

That's a really long layoff for Bama. Also Clemson-Oklahoma is going to be a really fun game.

Henchman of Santa posted:It’s time to start the discussion: is the 2017 Big Ten the greatest conference in college football history? A distant second to what is obviously the greatest conference ever, the 2011 SEC.
