MWil23 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm hoping that both SEC teams WIN in the 1st round, creating a drama filled rehashing of 2011 debate nationwide with horrific ratings, causing total upheaval in the 4 team playoff a couple of years from now, expanding to an 8 team playoff with set criteria. These ratings are going to be much worse this year than in years past in the Midwest and Pacific regions (shouldn't factor into the decision anyway), and if both SEC teams win they'll go completely in the tank everywhere west of the Mississippi and north of the Mason Dixon line. It took a horrific 2011 ratings/controversy and money loss for major networks/the NCAA to expand this thing, so let's just get it perfect this time. *Each conference from a Power 5 team gets an automatic playoff birth. *3 additional "at large" teams will be selected. Having only 4 playoff teams when you have 5 Power Conferences was confusing from the start. Still better than the BCS but innately flawed. Not having set criteria causes controversy, because some use the "eye test", some use "resumes", some use strength of schedule, some use quality losses as opposed to quality wins, etc. Go ahead and have UCF seeded #8 and have them play Clemson. The always controversial topic of #4 vs. #5 play each other, same conference or not, and this only adds 1 more game to the schedule for 2-4 total teams in the nation. Guess what? High school kids play 15 games if they go to the state championship game. Start the playoff weekend 1 week earlier and let's do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
