    How is it better? We got royally fucked in 2008. And intentionally by tons of petty fucks in the coaching profession and the media. The computers factored in tons of irrelevent nonsense. And now I am supposed to be outraged and want to bring that back since our 3 loss team didn't make it?

    Fuck that.

    It's fine as an overall ranking but not to pick 2 teams to play for it all. No metric is good enough for that if we're being honest.

    If you really want it to be like every other sport, you have to get rid of all polls and rankings and guaranteed byes for conferences.  Otherwise, it's still a subjective list.

    To get a true playoff you have to restructure the conferences.  Until we do that, this is going to continue to be based on voters and rankings to some extent, which is not how a true playoff field should be determined.

    I changed it to just grant byes by ranking but you could do it any way that's agreed upon. It just shouldn't change week to week like it has this year.

    I understand that objective rankings are virtually impossible but it would be miles better than the way we decided it this year.

    I for one do not believe expansion will fix the issue. The issue is the committee.

    There will always be contention, no matter what system you put in place. I will say it again, it should just be a normal fucking playoff like every other goddamn sport on the planet. CFB is not that special and doesn't need a cutesie playoff system. If you had that, Texas is in, ND is in, BYU is in, everyone that's fucking crying right now would be in. 

    Set it up for 24 teams with 8 automatic byes for the highest ranked teams. Seed the rest by composite ranking.

    I'm using the final CFP rankings just for the sake of argument here, but whatever composite ranking that is agreed upon prior to the season would work the same way:

    Would anyone at all be upset with this? Seriously, be honest with yourself. The SEC gets 4 byes (7 teams total), B1G gets 3 (6 teams total), Big 12 gets 1 (5 teams total), ACC gets 0 (3 teams total). What exactly would be wrong with a playoff bracket like this?

    I mean, yes? But one was with 2*-3* transfer guys, and if you're struggling against top tier coaching with guys who will be going pro in something other than sports, I don't see them as "even." I see Indiana as superior due to coaching. If they had the same players Ohio State had, they would have skull fucked that tream to the tune of 65-10. So, yes, sort of. I fear Indiana more because Cignetti is elite at coaching, whereas good for Ryan Day for getting his NC last year, but he's such an inferior coach. 

    The score made it look more even than it really was. I don't think I'm making sense, and I'm trying to figure out a way to where you see what I'm trying to say, rather than what's typed. 

    Does it make sense that I would rather face Ohio State than Indiana? Because Indiana is just so well-coached. If they get a recruiting boost, watch out. 

    I fucking told you earlier this season, verbatim, that Indiana was more physical and better in the trenches than the other "top" B1G teams, despite their talent level, and that they would have something to say about not only who plays Ohio State for the title but the title itself, while you just sat there and assumed it would be Ohio State vs Oregon, even after Indiana went into Eugene and manhandled them. I told you that it was impossible to tell if Ohio State was actually all that good because the only tough game they had played and would likely play the rest of the season was against a green Arch Manning in the season opener. You know why I was right and you were wrong? Because I guarantee you that you never watched a single second, outside of maybe highlights, of this Indiana team (you didn't even seem to know that they had beaten Oregon on the road when we had this conversation months ago) and just made a series of assumptions based on basically nothing but helmet logos.

    Their talent level on paper is lower than most other top 25 P4 teams, but they were at least on the same level as Ohio State from a physicality standpoint, and I'd argue that they were flat out better, this was not a fluke performance, and they'd be able to repeat that probably 6-7 times out of 10 against them. There was somebody in the game thread trying to argue with a straight face that Ohio State won the battle in the trenches last night and I just can't understand how people get so chalk brained sometimes even when shit is happening in front of their eyes.

    It wasn't just in the trenches, either, they were better at every single position other than arguably wide receiver and it was probably a wash in the secondary.

    Of course you can. You just have to want to do it.

    You still haven't answered the question. How do you make a bracket without humans or computers involved. It's not governed by the fundamental laws of space and time so it's not going to just coalesce on its own.

    Why the hell are they still calling it G5? It's G6 including this "new" Pac-12 which is warmed over dogshit

    P4 and G6

    Are they actually included in the highest ranked conference champion discussion? I genuinely have no idea. It can't be considered a real conference championship right?

    Professional leagues seem to have it figured out. I'm pretty sure college football could figure it out, too.

    Pretty sure humans and computers are involved there. You said no human or computer hands involved. How does it work, then? We have a turtle race?
