RE: This is what I think the CFB Playoff format should look like
The football regular season is so short it should be looked at as an extension of the playoffs. Having CCG winners ensures those are the best teams at the end of the gauntlet.

They protect from scenarios like this:

Ohio State finishes 11-1 with a loss to Penn State (8-4) in a fluke game on the road.

Michigan finished 11-1, but was blown out by Ohio State.

Ohio State loses the Big Ten CCG to 9-3 Nebraska.

Nebraska finishes the regular season at #9, behind Michigan, a team they did not see on the field.

In a straight 8, Michigan by none other than their name, gets in over the Big Ten champ that beat Ohio State, a team that destroyed Michigan two weeks prior.


I’m sorry, but that is fundamentally WRONG. The importance of records, as in how many losses a team has, is archaic! If a team wins a P5 CCG, by virtue of the stage they’re on, with all the marbles on the line, should get in.

Our own merit philosophies aside, I only see the P5 voting for expanded playoffs if they get auto-bids for their CCG winners.
