[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 94259, member: 195"] IIUC, the aim of the playoff is to find the "best team." To that end, the first premise is that the playoff should be a playoff of the four best teams. Given the potential of disparity between the quality of conferences, it is reasonable that two, or more, teams from one conference may in some seasons be better than the champions of other conferences. For example, in 2009, SEC #4 beat the ACC champion in the last game of the regular season (for illustration purposes only). I agree with you that the aim of the playoff should be to find the "champion." As long as we have only four teams, which I don't see being easily expanded, I think there should be three automatic bids and one play in bid. Generally speaking, the first step to becoming the FBS Champion is to be a conference champion (with some allowance for independents to play in). The three automatic bids will go first to the three highest ranked Power-5 conference champions, (if ranked in the top 10 or 15) and then to the otherwise highest ranked teams if there are not 3 ConfChamps in top 10 or 15. The two highest-ranked non-power 5 conference teams getting invited to a play-in game on conf-championship Saturday. So, only if there are not three power-5 conference champions in the top 10 would it be possible for a second power-5 conference team to go. However, that [/QUOTE]
