Quote:I agree, Josh. 6 and 8 both accomplish what I'd like to see. I'm just not sure it's right to give two teams Byes. Team 3 might have just as impressive resume as 1 or 2 (we see it all the time), but be at a huge disadvtage.


In one sense I like rewarding the top two teams, but it could really handicap teams with equally impressive resumes. I'd have to think about the trade off some more.

 

Maybe, but if you use this year as an example its pretty simple.  If the playoffs started today, it would be Miss St and FSU.  The two undefeated teams that would deserve it the most.  It's not like that every year, but I think you can typically pick out the top two....and if you can't and #3 is mad about it, go prove it on the field.
