8 team playoff system. Why not?

#50

Quote:I don't think 4 spots is quite enough. Look at 2012. Going into the postseason, you had:

 

12-0 Notre Dame

12-0 Ohio St.

12-1 Alabama. Loss at home to Texas A&M

11-1 Oregon. OT loss at home to Stanford.

11-1 Florida. Loss at home to Georgia.

11-1 Kansas St. Loss @Baylor.

11-2 Stanford. Losses @Notre Dame and @Washington. Beat Oregon on the road, won Pac 12.

 

 

Going into the postseason, I think that all of those teams had legitimate best-team-in-the-country arguments. Luckily, there was no undefeated mid-majors because that would have made a 4 team playoff even more sticky.
 

Even there I think you could have pulled a top 4 relatively easy.  Ohio St/Notre Dame based on them being undefeated.

 

Alabama was the clear cut best team in the SEC and Oregon was the best team out west, so give them that shot.

 

You wouldnt give it to Florida because they lost to the team that Bama just beat for the SEC title and the Big 12 is similar to this year.

 

You couldnt even consider a 2 loss Stanford at that point.  This actually goes against your 8 team argument in that how can a team with 2 losses even be considered having a shot at the national title?

 

I'm just playing devil advocate.  There is no right answer here and no matter how this plays out a lot of people wont be happy.
