[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 921960, member: 766"] Let's say that the CFP takes the top two from each P5 and two at-large bids. This means that one or two conferences would get a third or fourth team (looking at you, SEC). Or that a really good independent or G5 team gets invited. Whatever. My question is: [B]why play a conference championship game if those two teams are already in the CFP?[/B] I mean, bragging rights and trophies, etc. are nice, but so are healthy players going into the tournament that really counts. This isn't basketball...guys don't generally break a collarbone (or worse) in the conference tournament. And you can actually play four games in four days in basketball meaning that VERY rarely, an underdog might knock off the regular season champions. So, while I'm in favor of expanding the CFP (eight seems adequate, IMO) to prevent the inevitable argument that some #5 or #6 was actually more deserving or better than a team with a better record against a weaker schedule, I just don't see the purpose of the conference title game after the expansion.
