Fuck it. Let it play out the next 3-4 seasons. I mean, nobody expected TCU to beat Michigan. 

We’re so engrained with the old ways we refuse to try anything new.

That's the right attitude to have, but we somehow went from "give them a seat at the table" to "here's your first-class seat for 50% of the cost" somewhere along the way.  

That is broken.

What's the worst idea for a postseason format that you've ever seen proposed?

I don't know about the worst, but I know about the best.

the SEC is gonna break it when SEC teams don't have home field and get beat
and when SEC teams get rematches with SEC teams and knock themselves out of the final 4

At least we are in agreement about who runs things.

I used to think any CG loser should be out of the playoff, that obviously can't work at all today.

Weird stuff is often OK with me, but it's clear this "system" is both weird and often nonsensical.

All American playoffs are way overinclusive. The NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB all encourage including mediocrity in their playoffs. Nearly their whole seasons are really just preseasons. So do the NCAA basketball tournaments. Sure, the upsets are fun, but easily half the teams have no business being there.

I love playoff hockey. It just hits different. But there's no reason a team that came in third or fourth place in its division should be playing for the championship. It's an 82-game season, for crying out loud. What is all that for if half the teams get into the playoffs?

The mystery is why CFB took so long to expand, some of that might be bowls.
