Most of us are still for a playoff system. But we don't like who gets to pick the final 4.
I always imagined that a playoff system would have kept the BCS rankings and just let the top 4 settle it on the field. This whole idea of bringing in a committee blindsided me when it was announced.

Oregon will never go 13-0.

the old BCS formula had the same 4 teams as the playoff committee has selected
Which is a big part of why I said the old ranking system was fine. It really didn’t need to be changed as far as how the rankings were calculated. It was rather unnecessary. And definitely much less biased. When we’re talking about the order of those top 4, it matters.

BCS took all the BS out of the equation. LSU/Bama 2011 caused its death. Nobody wanted another all SEC national championship So we went back to the BS.

It’s not “biased” now
The BCS formula used the coaches poll which is a joke and the Harris poll which they created after the AP asked the BCS to not use their poll. The Harris poll was basically a larger, less accountable version of the committee, (it was just old sports writers, broadcaster, coaches ADs etc) and of course the computers. The committee meets and discusses the merits of the teams, they can and seem to use various data like the computers and formulas and actually watch the games of the teams involved. Frankly I think it’s fine, they do a good but thankless job. College can never be like pro sports where you have some objective standard of best record somehow a decision has to be made, you can leave it to computer formula if you wish but those can be flawed, 2 of the current ones have Alabama over LSU. I’d prefer to have a group of experts be able to make the final call.

Ah, in general not that much, I understand this particular year you’d rather be 1 and not play Clemson but it’s not always that way. Last year it didn’t matter and in 2017 I’d rather have played UGA or OU that #4 Bama
However I’m pretty sure the final committee rankings have been the same order as the BCS in the past. This week is meaningless

There was never a 4 team playoff so what “BS” did we go back to? But by all means like go back to no BS like having and undefeated P5 team having no shot at the title that’s so much better

the CFP has matched what the BCS would have been every single year
False!! In 2015 the old BCS would have pitted Alabama with Oklahoma. Instead Alabama got Michigan State in the first round instead of Okie.
By the way, an Ohio State, defending national champion, with Michael Thomas, the NFL's best wr, Zeke Elliott, the NFL's best running back, Joey Bosa, the NFL's best edge rusher, and Marshon Lattimore, the NFL DRPY were all on that team and were kept out of the CFP because they lost to Michigan State by a field goal with no time on the clock in a torrential rainstorm.
Who do you think Alabama feared more in 2015? The Ohio State who punked them the year before with NFL superstars everywhere? or Michigan State who won a flukey game against OSU where they never led once in regulation?
This whole committee thing has been a fraudulent scheme to make Alabama's road to NC's as easy as possible for them.
RTWFU!!! and keep those cheating, stealing, lying pieces of sh!t out of the playoffs this year, they do not deserve a shot at the NC this year. They are not one of the 4 most deserving teams in the country and not one of the 4 best teams in the country

The bold is all that matters, the roster and what they did in the NFL is irrelevant Ohio St didn’t win the conference, MSU did, they both had 1 loss

Said no one ever who understands football is a game of matchups. Okie beat bama by 2 scores in their last meeting in 2014 in the Sugar Bowl, Michigan State had a roster full of 2 stars and had a Bama lite scheme. The committee full of Bama sycophants ( bama buttkissers) tweaked the old BCS matchups and gave the gumps Mich St instead of Okie in the first round. In effect a first round bye as Mich St would lose 100 games out of 100 to bama due to lack of talent needed to compete.

Wrong again gummpy. In 2017 Bama was 11-1 and didn't win their conference but still got in due to the sycophant (bama buttkissers) committee. Talent does matter, that's why the committee didn't put The Ohio State in the playoffs in 2015. The committee KNEW Ohio State would mop the floor with Alabama just as they did in 2014 with Zeke, Bosa, Mike Thomas, Lattimore and all the other NFL talent on their roster.

New committee this year Gummpy, no more Bama sycophants on it. Bama has -0- percent chance to make the playoffs this year, didn't deserve to get their in 2017, and would have been destroyed by The Ohio State in 2015 if this committee was in place in 2015 instead of the Bama buttkissers committee at that time.

The BCS was less biased on human opinion.
The BCS was the more fair system of evaluation. It was proven to be correct nearly 100% of the time.

Having a bunch of old white men sit in a back room, in secret, deciding who gets to play for a national championship is no way to decide things. It's un-american, its ugly, it feels dirty. Just sayin.
Posted on 11/28/19 at 8:35 pm to Perception
Much rather the BCS system but have 4/6 teams and top 2 get byes. The guidelines used by committee have never been discussed. Eye appeal is another word for opinion, which was never supposed to be used because it’s easy to look good when playing shitty competition.
