They'll never win.  And it creates a ton more interesting games.  Allowing 3 loss P5 schools makes the regular season completely meaningless

Why do you actively support completely screwing your school and all schools like it to include vastly inferior crappy tallest midgets?
Because I am fan of sports, and when we get away from results on the field, we are doing away with the reason we watch sports in the first place. It is more fun when my team earns it as opposed to being the team that makes ESPN more money.

4 teams when there are 5 "power" conferences is perfect.  It's survival of the fittest.  It encourages working and becoming a multi-year elite program and earning those benefits o the doubt.  At the start of the season, those P5 conferences know that one of them (or 2) are getting left out - claw and scratch and bite and don't be left out.

12 teams......screw it.  It's college basketball.  Finish 3rd in your conference, doesn't matter, get hot late.  Or if it's including every conference, yeah, let's have some games over at halftime in the playoff.  That's fun.  Let's have backups playing it out from the 3rd quarter.  Good stuff.

I've noted before, upsets happen.  With an 8 team playoff, you have to win three times in succession against rather good opponents.  It is very unlikely, even if you have "the best team".

Such a move might force schools like Notre Dame, BYU and Army to join a conference, which could result in some more realignment musical chairs.

this simply encourages a conference to protect their best team.  That one or two conference teams that have a better chance of making the 4-team playoff.

giving Ohio St. and Oklahoma and Clemson and USC/Oregon the most advantages year after year to ensure your conference gets a seat at the money table is ugly

Yup.

yup, I'm surprised that going to a 4-team playoff didn't solve world hunger and world peace

In a few years, UGA has scheduled three P5 teams in a single season, two of whom are the likes of Ohio State and Clemson, etc.  I think we'd see that end abruptly, as teams vied to play more pastries to get to 11-1 at least.

Maybe, but the counter-argument is that if you do take a loss, but have a really strong OOC schedule, you might get the committee's nod over another 1-loss team that played a bunch of pastries.

this is a good idea for a PAC-12 team of a Big 12 team or an ACC team

not a great idea for an SEC team, that will get in above another 1-loss team

Outside of Ohio State, the B1G's not getting any BOTD there, either.
