common denominator is das playoff kommittee is made for tv markets full of crap system

Maybe, but given four playoff spots, how would any other system be significantly different?

the way it was before. the playoff is just a bogus marketing scheme. why not have a system where you can have a split poll. more than one champion. that was part of the genius of college football. now we just have a bullshite committee.

I get that, but remember, the way it was before under the old pre-BCS poll-and-bowl system was a lot MORE biased against what are now the G5 conferences. They got WAY less of everything - money, TV exposure, and chance to play in big bowl games- under that system.

The BCS and CFP has provided way more opportunities for the Memphis's and USF's of college football than any previous system. E.g., right now both of our schools have a clear-cut path to a major New Year's Day Bowl, keep winning and we will play in one.

25 years ago or 15 years ago, we'd have no chance at all.
