The thing about rematches is that they explicitly contradict what was the big mantra of all the playoff advocates--"Settle it on the field! Settle it on the field!"
Well, if you've already played, it's already been settled on the field.
If Team A beat Team B on the field, thus "settling" it, then why should Team A have to beat Team B again to advance?
If Team B wins the rematch and wins the championship, they only had go .500 "on the field," whereas Team A is left out for doing the same thing.
But the "settle it on the field" rhetoric was dropped as soon as the CFP was implemented, so I guess it was nothing but a talking point all along, as opposed to something that anyone actually took seriously.
Anyway, I don't like rematches. I don't like CCGs. I don't like the playoff. I'd rather go back to bowls and polls and smoke filled rooms full of old guys in funny-colored blazers.
And then an off-season full of great arguments about who should have been voted the MNC!
