current one) violates the principles you seem to be proposing.

You think that the criteria should be objective, which you define as winning a conference championship, and yet teams from power conferences obviously have teams in the playoffs that wouldn't meet that criteria.

On the other end, only the 5 highest ranked conference champions are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, but there are 10 conferences, so half of the conference champions are excluded from an autobid based upon the subjective rankings you reject.

I think the real difference between our preferences is that you are wanting to skew the results a bit in favor of teams in weaker conferences to give them a better chance at getting into the playoffs.

I can see the sentimental value in that, and an economic benefit in spreading the excitement around to more fans, more teams over a wider geographic area, but I think it will result in putting in teams from weaker conferences that aren't really up to the caliber of the others.

          You can't have it both ways is the issue - Genco98 MU - 4/25 13:04:51
               that is 100% not true - phrejd STL - 4/25 13:18:11
                    I simply disagree with all of that - Genco98 MU - 4/25 14:44:01
                         With 2 conferences there is no committee(nm) - phrejd STL - 4/25 15:38:50
                              but they won’t do that - Genco98 MU - 4/25 15:59:12
                              And we absolutely "paid" those teams - phrejd STL - 4/25 15:55:49
                    It does seem that cutting out a majority of the colleges & - JeffB MU - 4/25 14:13:19
                         A handful of programs have a shot today - phrejd STL - 4/25 15:37:52
                              So you are calling for an expansion of the SEC & the B1G. - JeffB MU - 4/25 17:44:38
                                   It’s a moot point - Genco98 MU - 4/25 18:00:21
                                        Why would that matter? Playing a Sun Belt team now counts - JeffB MU - 4/25 18:08:43
                                             It’s simple if you play them and you count the victories - Genco98 MU - 4/25 18:49:37
                                                  They *do* count. Perhaps one way to structure things - JeffB MU - 4/25 22:08:30
                                                       I’m not sure I follow that post - Genco98 MU - 4/26 06:42:53
                                                            There will be flaws with any way of picking teams. But - JeffB MU - 4/26 15:20:01
                                                                 But the simple one is winning your conference - Genco98 MU - 4/26 15:29:36
                                                                      So have 16 conferences? But is that fair if one conference - JeffB MU - 4/26 15:34:38
                                                                           No just a system like is now - Genco98 MU - 4/26 16:44:06
                                                                                How many conferences are you putting in? Are teams - JeffB MU - 4/26 16:51:32
