8 team playoff system. Why not?

#18

Quote:When there is a selection committee involved, overall body of work should be considered. Strength of schedule, margin of victory, etc. I think a UCF team that only has one loss to South Carolina, but dominates the rest of their schedule, grabs an at-large bid. I don't think a UCF team that closed the season like this....

 

(4 of last 5 games)

19-14 win over 8-5 Houston

23-20 win over 2-10 South Florida

39-36 win over 2-10 Temple

17-13 win over 5-7 SMU

 

 

....is a National Championship caliber team. A mid-major with a National Championship caliber team and National Championship caliber season will get an At-Large bid.
 

Ok, but a team like Baylor that they absolutely ran over would have made the 8 team playoff?   Further proof that just because you dont blow teams out, doesn't mean you are a better team.  See Ohio State....they will run it up as much as they can...and they still aren't very good.

 

Edit:  As most threads on this board, I'm not saying you are wrong...its a matter of opinion.  I just know rooting for a team like UCF it will be rare where our team is good enough and should be in the talk of a national title type tournament.  If they were in a 16 team tournament last year, I think they could have made it interesting....at least made it deep into it.
