A flawed system that uses opinion as the sole justification for leaving out two of the five voting conferences every year is up for reconsideration? I am stunned... just stunned!

Eight might hold for a while. It still isn't ideal but it takes a long time for the powerbrokers to get to the obvious solution.

Eight is another step in the right direction.

^^^^^THIS^^^^^

How we can design a system that ignores an entire conference season and replaces it with the judgement of a dozen ice skating judges is just inexplicable. If you want to destroy the sanctity of the regular season---thats the way to do it.

Precisely. 04-cheers

IMO, better to have 12 ice skating judges considering an *entire* season for all teams than have conference champs get auto-bids, which entirely throws out all the OOC games.

That's 1/4 to 1/3 of the schedule that now means nothing, and that's actually the most theoretically meaningful part of a schedule, as conference games are local, they don't necessarily tell us how well a team stacks up to national competition, which is what a playoff is.

Plus, and it's hard to see how an NIU fan is overlooking this, the highest ranked G5 team WILL still be chosen by ice skating judges, not by winning their conference.

The OOC schedule (and the beauty pageant judges) will still play a huge part in seeding and the 2 wild card selections.
This could also lead to better OOC scheduling for P5 teams, because they would know they could lose 1-2 games in the year and still have a chance to play in the CFP.
