It isn't watering down. Its reality. Whats watering down is Bama, Clemson, OSU and OU/LSU/UGA every single dam year. F all the stupid peach, citrus and weedwacker bowl. Make the post season worth something. Win your conf and you get a ticket into the playoffs. Have a great regular season then you get to beat the F out of a team in the first round or get embarrassed by them. Who knows. Thats the point. Nobody knows what could happen. I would have loved to see Boise St have to play another team after OU and probably get whacked. UCF...take your stupid banner down.
Disparity exists in college football. Adding more crappy games isn't going to change that. If we really wanted to fix the problem of disparity we'd set realistic academic standards for these "student athletes" to meet and make sure they comply. Barring that, inviting the Coastal Carolinas of the world to the dance isn't going the fix the problem of Bama, Clemson, and Ohio State being in the finals almost every year. UCF is a different story, if we were inviting the highest ranked conference champs then they would have had the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is, but of course they put Bama in instead even though they didn't even play in the CCG. THAT is the real travesty that needs fixin.

But you are arguing to keep the disparity in the media and fans...Im arguing to put the disparity on the field. If a team wins their conference...they get in. Its not a hard concept. Its a fair concept. Its more football. Its less disparity caused by a bunch of rich biased f@chs going into a closed room and deciding. Its decided on the field where it should be. And its more football. Sure, its going to be Bama, Clemson, OSU and so on, but at least its coming from the field instead of the media and a biased group of morons.

This makes no fuchsing sense, yet you idiots babble it constantly. Dumbasses just running their mouth.

The playoff is coming from winning it one the field. The reason Clemson, Bammer and Ohio State are in the playoff most years is because they win 12 games and their conference. Usually the fourth team is the only argument and frankly the fourth team has never really earned a shot at the title anyway.

This is just more sandy vagina bytchfest from people who somehow think that somehow Dildo Dan is going to be able to do in Dec and Jan what he cant do in Oct or Nov, beat a good team. Why? Who fuchsing knows why they think that.

If they let the G5s champs play each other to get a shot to play in, thats fine. It will be a baby seal clubfest when they play one of the power house teams anyway.

But some shytty 8-4 team that finished 3-5th in the conference has no reason to be given a do over, or a do over over.

If you want to be a champion then win it on the field in October and November

Meanwhile, these morons above complain about stupid peachtype bowl games that are meaningless. Some here just want to be miserable self absorbed c^nts so they can continue to complain about sh!te. Id just rather see more games in the post season that mean something without destroying the concept of conference play. But yeah, lets keep it at 4 teams along with meaningless weedwacker bowls filled with teams of players who opted out.

Ok, so...in reality, the latest seems to be that they will be moving to a 12 team playoff. Its quite obvious that this triggers a lot of you, but it sounds like that is what will happen. Ignoring your inner triggered responses to state how things should be, how should the 12 teams be decided? Biased rich f@chs in a closed room or on the field?

5 P5 Conference Champs, highest rated G5 champion, and 6 at large by highest BCS ranked teams

I think that is giving way too much room to maneuver for the BCS committee.

The BCS ranking system was so much better than the playoff committee rankings. Having the multi-points (87? ) to even out a single poll's bias.

I think I agree with your solution except maybe take it to 8 conf champs using top 3 G5 champs then highest ranked 4 teams from there. I want the playoff committee to be disbanded and destroyed.

EDIT: And probably more to the point of disbanding the playoff committee is that I dont want the conference championship games to become meaningless. For example, whether UGA or UF got in with Bama doesnt change the fact that it makes the SEC CG meaningless. Those at large picks are going to come from the P5 conferences and they will do just that...make the conf champ games meaningless.

I agree with taking all 8 conference champions to the playoffs as I believe over time it will better distribute talent to more than three to five teams like exists now. UCF, App State and other lower tier teams do at times make the power 5 wish they had not scheduled them and better access to talent could make a difference in creating more balance. Where you and I slightly disagree is I don't think inviting four at large teams makes CCG's meaningless. Winning your conference championship is the only guaranteed path to the playoff's, the at large teams should be forced to play their first playoff game as a visiting team (screw ND) and in the slight chance there is a rematch of a conference championship game at the ultimate then they both earned the rematch. Remember our first Natty was a rematch and the only peeps butthurt were the Seminole faithless.

I'm all for a twelve team playoff and for the elimination of all of the meaningless bowl games. It isn't about the players it's about the benjamins (think March madness). I will wager not a single player will opt out to prepare for the upcoming draft, not one.

Nobody wants to watch Bama, Klimpson, or tOSU play the MAC or Conference USA champion (Ball State and UAB, respectively last year).

Those games won't get ratings and they won't get fans in the stands either. It's silly.

So who would have gotten in after we lost to Bama this year? Should it be us on principle that we won the east or would it be aTm or UGA? How does that not make the Conference Championship meaningless? And this same scenario plays out across all the other conferences as well.

Oh yeah...Id much rather watch a opted out team play another opted out team in some stupid meaningless bowl game.

Again, this aint about your version of utopia, its about it looks like it will be a 12 team playoff coming. What is the best way they can make that happen? Or even, how will they F it up and even destroy college football further.

They're trying stem the massive exodus of NFL hopefuls every December. It'll make it a little harder to leave your teammates if they're like, "Dayum, homie, ya'll gonna leave us like dat when we gots a shot at the Natty Tight? Dayum, *****."
I have no doubt that the day is coming fast where a player will sit out his team's playoff game. It's inevitable and he'll know the media won't dare criticize him for the decision.​
