The question was: why can't the teams in the strong leagues move to the weaker leagues, leading to four balanced leagues?
Oh!  
My mistake.

Because that has never happened, ever.

Or remember when BC,VT and Miami all - very good programs at the time moved the ACC? Many/most (myself included) thought along with a dominant FSU those teams could very well rule the CFB roost.And that fizzled out but gave rise to Clemson - who saw any of that coming? Or the dominant run of the Tide - so there will be change

I figure if a single person misses my point, it could well be that I didn't express it well, or maybe they just are incapable of understanding it.

When a host of people do it, consistently, I figure I am not expressing things well at all.

Great, 2 more of you are being oblivious.
Run Forest Run! There was actually 3 questioning your post but who's counting. Great so others who don't recoginize what you perceive as unriveled intelligence are oblivious?Fetching

Okay, the premise was that the 4 conf champs of the SEC, B1G, ACC, and XII get in the playoff.
2 of them are champions of very strong leagues and the other 2 are champions of weak leagues.
The 2 weak league champs had an easier path to the playoff than the strong league champs.
Define weak - by what metric? Before Ohio St played Alabama after the '14 season 47 of 48 of ESPNs "Expert" analasysts had the Tide winning - 47 of 48. For a 2 week period that season the committee and they had all top 4 teams from the SEC.Not Fla St,not Oregon,not tOSU - all final play off participants.So you swallowing their narrative whole shows you belong with the sheeple.

That is akin to their running 70m (easier) vs 100m (tougher).
Sorry, I have to spell out things for kids all day.  Doing it for adults in my free time isn't fun (honestly, not a shot at you, just a fact).
No that's akin to you realizing hallucinations again.And I don't care what you do during the day in here - you spray graffiti at least as much as you spell anything out,so let's just move on.

Just because something hasn't happened before, ever, doesn't mean that it couldn't happen or won't happen

Something VERY unlikely to happen is a good program going to another conference to make less money.

But how long do they stay good? Just look to Miami/FSU - changing Tide now? There will be change that is guaranteed

Edit: OK FF Nebraska too

Agreed 

They may move to another conference if the money was equal or better. 

Networks in their greed could reshape conferences by region to promote better games and therefore content.

Also more equal competition for playoff spots

beat 3 ranked (at the time) teams that season.  The last one is absurd of course.  "Hey, we beat 5 ranked teams (3 of which ended up with losing records and another ended up 7-5)."
That one bothers me too. I think most of us in here avoid that and:
  • When talking about past seasons refer to teams as ranked or unranked at the end of the season. That is a MUCH better way because it applies both ways. Highly unlikely but if Indiana goes 9-4 and finishes ranked it would be clearly ludicrous to give the teams that beat them late in the season credit for beating a ranked team while withholding that credit from Ohio State only because Ohio State played them before they were ranked.
  • When talking about the current season refer to teams ranked in the latest poll.


My other problem with it though is that it creates a false dichotomy where all ranked teams are one class and all unranked teams are another. That is false because #25 and #26 are obviously more similar to each other than they are to either #1 or #130.

Only Ohio state stays good forever 

And that could change

Final poll is the only one that counts

#1 in the poll means something 

Top 5
Top 10

I preferred the polls limited to the top 20

No need to water it down with another 5 and others receiving is irrelevant
