So in regards to the Group of Five schools having a shot at the Playoffs here's the deal, I love the idea of a CFP, I like it being at 4 teams (would prefer 6) but having a committee is not the move imo. I feel like using the BCS system but having a Playoff would shake things up a bit for sure.

I've been back and forth with 4 vs 6 teams. Some years I feel like there should've been 6 teams (2014, 2016, and 201&), but all the other years were best with 4. I do agree with the committee vs BCS. Even if we could have weighted votes, I would be fine with that. ie. BCS votes were given 60% and the 13-person committee given 40%. You still want to include the eye-test, but the committee has shown they DONT*** have a set formula to follow moving forward.

But the parameters seem to change on a yearly basis. First it was game control, then quality losses. There's no consistent formula

to me, force teams to eliminate the bs early and make teams play cross conference match ups, that will eliminate some teams early. Like look play two other conference teams like acc vs big 10 challenge then maybe sec vs big 10, then have them finish the regular season, then champ game, then let the committee select accordingly, like @Lucky_Lefty said the committee has and will change their view on things year to year, and as we gain and lose members opinions will change. Overall though I’m satisfied with their picks, i can see the playoffs eventually expanding to 6 or 8 teams but i came across this gem and fellas tell me what you think

They should do a 8 team playoffs this year just because how fukked up the canceling and reschedule games has been this year.

That was a genuinely typo. I meant they DONT have a set formula. We’re on the same page here.

Gotcha. If they had any sway, they’d force a certain conference to play the same number of in conference games as everyone else. That could be seen as unfair since they get to schedule an extra cupcake unlike every other conference. But they won’t

To me, 1 vs 4 has been such a consistently patsy matchup, might as well have a 1 v 8. The value is gonna be in 2/7 and 3/8 anyway

If there ever was a year to experiment & do some shyt like, this would have been it. They're dropping the ball trying to keep it exactly the same when they would have the perfect excuse to generate more money, curb some of the whining, etc.
