[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 167225, member: 1329"] As long as there are only 4 playoff spots, the finalists will have to be conference champions - regardless of how that champion was chosen (looking at you B12). It also makes the conference championship games the de facto first round which would then include 9 teams (with the B12 Champion's regular season resume having to speak louder than the CCG from the other four conferences). At the end of the day, how can any team figure into the final four, if they did not win their conference? An independent would have to have an great season with an excellent SOS (determined at the [I]end[/I] of the season - not where their opponents were ranked when they played) to get a sniff. IMO, the current setup cannot last long. With five "power" conferences and four spots one conference has to be left out each year. Without more inter-conference play during the season, there is no objective way to discount an entire conference. Not to mention pissing off the fan base of 20% of the schools in the P5. What happens if ND goes 11-1 this season? Which two conference champions would be "out"? Let there be a season where there are five undefeated P5 champions. Wait until some super-star gets a career ending injury because a coach is running up the score in garbage time so his team wins "better". May personal favorite 2015 doomsday scenario: 13-0 GT 12-0 TCU 11-1 ND 11-2 Bama 11-2 tOSU 11-2 USCw I'd pay good money to be in the room with the SEleCtion Committee when they are choosing four of those six! :devil::jawdrop::ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
