    Um... basic math. 16 team playoff is 4 games. Well weeks.

    It really does not matter how many teams that are allowed in...those teams on the fringe will always cry and moan if they are on the wrong side of the fringe.

    Personally I absolutely love the idea of having meaningful bowl games on New Years Day again (the BCS really took that away IMO), so I am happy with what I am seeing so far. Is it perfect? No, but no playoff system would be IMO.

    Right now 2 teams will play 15 games. So you really think the fact the 4 teams out of 100+ playing 16 or 17 games is the ****ing deal breaker for 16 team playoff?????

    16 team playoff will happen.

    *If anything happens I can see some sort of bull**** flex scheduling regarding non-conference lower division cupcake teams that can be dropped if whatever team makes it to the conference championship.

    Actually though it makes a big difference when you view a 2 or more likely 3 loss 17th vs 16th team than considering a 1 loss 4th or 5th team.

    Because its going to be 1 in 50 that a 12th-16th team wins the playoff imo.

    Like I said....not perfect. However, much better than the BCS, which was better than the old system (except for ignoring New Years Day), so it is progress.

    As long as you weren't one of the ones slamming the bcs you can have that opinion.


    Otherwise you should be RAGING at the 4 team playoff sham!

    I never was a huge fan of the BCS, but it did seem to work better than the system it replaced. The playoff system should work better than the BCS, and it is bringing meaningful bowl games back to New Years day, so it is an improvement IMO.

    Then what is the purpose of having that many teams? I am ok going to 6, but beyond that it is going to start taking away from the regular season. And I personally, don't see the point of adding a bunch of teams that you admit probably won't win it all. And also keep in mind, football is a different game than basketball. How many of these kids who are about to go pro want to risk injury with 2 or 3 extra games?

    And there will always be controversy, no matter how many teams are let in, just like there is controversy every year in the NCAA tournament. Here are the teams currently ranked 13th-20th. You don't think the teams being left out of this list won't have an argument?
    13. Georgia
    14. UCLA
    15. Arizona State
    16. Missouri
    17. Clemson
    18. Wisconsin
    19. Auburn
    20. Boise State
    21. Louisville
    22. Utah

    I think any argument can be refuted with "you lost too many games, shut up and stop complaining, if you want in the playoffs you have to win games".

    What was the point of switching to 4 team playoff vs the BCS if it didn't fix anything regarding the number 1 complaint of the BCS, which was deserving teams not having a shot at the title. TCU and Baylor have as much right as any playoff team with the exception of Florida State imo (because FSU is undefeated).

    If you were pissed and bitched and moaned about the BCS, you should be pissed and bitching and moaning about the sham that is the 4 team college playoff. TCU/Baylor never forget!
