I don't give a flying rip how many championships a program has had in the last 5 years.  If they don't win the conference or even their division, they shouldn't be in the playoffs.  Period.

I respectfully disagree

It's not speculation for the last half decade.  Those two teams are just way better than everyone.  

It's easier to win when you get an automatic entry.

I respectfully disagree

Why?  They weren't the best in their conference or division even.

Stop it

Why? It's true.

Why not keep the conference championship and just got to an 8 team playoff, with 5 conference champions auto and 3 at large? Then the committee ranks 1-8 and sets playoff bracket. 

I guess I just think that they are eventually going to get to a 16 team playoff, so they might as well just get there.

Plus, the more teams (in my opinion) the better.

If Alabama or Clemson don't win their conference and only have 1 loss, they should be in...at this point in time.  They are the two best teams.  That's what the playoff is.  Best vs. best.

I really don't care if it's Alabama or Clemson...replace those names with two other schools with their rosters, coaching staffs and results.  I'd still say they would be in.  It's about being the best, not winning a terrible P5 league.

Stop it

I ain't wrong.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Imagine if MLB or NFL always put the Yankees or Patriots in because on paper they're the "best" team.

Also the more teams the more $$. I would think the NCAA would hurry this up.

Then why play the games? Just hand out a trophy to the top recruiter and call it a day.

No they aren't.  If they were, they would have won their conference.

NO.

You guys are acting like these Teams are 9-3 getting in to the playoffs.  They are 13-0 or 12-1.  Get out of here with your Napoleon complex.

I am fine with saying you have to be a conference champion to get in but then make it an actual rule.
