8 team playoff system. Why not?

Quote:Actually I believe Ohio State was ineligible for the postseason that year. And of course some years the #2 and #3 teams are very close. That's part of the drama competing for that top 2 seed. The #5 team is generally not that close to the #2 seed however. I'm not as interested in creating a perfectly fair system as I am creating one where the teams that deserve a chance, have a chance, without taking away the drama I love about competing for those top spots.

 

The difference between #2 and #3 or between #4 and #5 should matter a lot. Otherwise that's when you're devaluing the regular season.
 

Right, they had a post-season ban, but the scenario happened and is obviously realistic.

 

I'm not for devaluing the regular season. Alabama had a phenomenal 2012, going 12-1 and won the best conference in the country. Their season was arguably better than Ohio St. who went 12-0, but played in a much weaker conference. Picking one better season over the other is a coin flip. It doesn't make sense to significantly stack the cards in Ohio St.'s favor if your goal is to crown the best team in the country.
