[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 386683, member: 2843"] I also think an 8-team playoff with automatic berths for P5 conference champions and 3 at-large would solve some of the problems folks have with the current system. Although, I'd argue you will still have legit 'grey area' when isolating the best final 2 or 3 slots (of the 8) between what would usually be 4-6 teams with a good case to get in. The current 4-team deal is being executed in probably the best way possible. I generally believe the committee has done a good job getting 4 of the best teams into the tournament. Again...there is obviously going to debate over who's in (and out). ...and it is impossible to establish black and white criteria when there are 130+ FBS teams.. and each only playing 12 (or 13) games in a season. Now... specifically the UCF situation in 2017. The more I think about this... and especially after they handled Auburn, how good they are compared to Clemson, Alabama, OU, and UGA is not as simple as "well they didn't play a tough schedule" ...that is factually correct when comparing schedules. However, UCF did not LOSE. That means in simple terms they were better than ALL the teams they played. ..and frankly, how do we know (really) if this 2017 team is not on par with the very best in the nation. I feel like we (me included) just come at this with a real bias against teams like UCF who are not "supposed to be" the best team in the country. It has to be a P5 team or ND... well, perhaps a team like UCF has a LOT of things all come together in a particular year and they deserved to be in the conversation. [/QUOTE]
