On the other hand, an SEC or big 10 team could be screwed because their schedule on a particular year is overweighted with the good teams. The we everyone they don’t is a phony argument. OU had to play everyone this year, but the league was down. So they actually had a weaker schedule. Do you think they only lose 1 game and make the CFP if they were in the big 10 or SEC? Not hardly. The argument works both ways. In the end, everyone plays the same number of games. The ones that have it weakest are those that play the cupcakes in the non-con. You don’t see teams like USC or Notre Dame or Texas playing weak non-con do you. Good for them.wild@nite wrote: ↑January 18th, 2020, 4:23 pmBut it's not. Not when we have to play everybody and some teams win their conferences and don't play everybody. We could go 12-0 and lose our championship game to be 12-1 and get left out for a hypothetical Big 10 champ, who might finish 11-2 and didn't even play the toughest teams in their conference. How is that right? Not only that, Clemson has no test at all in their conference. Nobody but them was inside the top 20. You think they get through the SEC or Big 10 undefeated? I don't.
16 team playoff is the only fair and honest way of giving all teams from all conferences a chance. The P5 champs and 11 at larges that can include a couple of G5 champs. That would be a true "playoff" that would spread the talent wealth.
There should be 8 leagues and 8 bids into the playoff.
