Dan Mullen is interviewing at Miami

[CrazyCajun]

I don't see the difference between a power 5 playing 2 FCS or 2 bottom G5 teams. I also agree that the USC loss will hurt them as well.

Like I said in post to hawk, the committee makes up rules as they go to hold teams back and/or to boost other teams.

I don't see the difference either, Especially watching 2 move ups run through our conference like hot knife through butter. I agree, they make the argument fit their narrative however they like.

Not saying it should matter but I'm willing to bet good money UNC doesn't make it regardless of win.

I'd argue Clemson would still have a better resume than both Ohio St and UNC and should stay in top 4 with a loss.

perhaps, but the whole thing should be scrapped if you [n.c.] beat the other option [clemson] heads-up on the last day of the season and they nevertheless stay in ahead of you. would be a farce.

You guys have lost your focus ... tie that in to Dan Mullen interviewing at Miami!

Imagine the NFL selected their playoff teams by a selection committee and only selected 4 teams to participate. Would anybody think that was a valid playoff?

No.

And, this one isn't either. It will never be a valid playoff until all teams capable of winning the championship are included and all members of the included conferences have a path to the playoff.

What we have now is pointless to discuss because it is so ludicrous. There is no reasonable way to parse out 4 schools from over 100 and not make stupid delineation marks for inclusion that are not completely frivolous in nature.

They have turned the entire season into one long episode of The View. Lots of arguing back and forth over nothing.

Even with 8, you are leaving out schools good enough to win it all.

I'll be posting my playoff after this weekend's games. It's the Mother of all Playoff plan I do every year. The only playoff plan endorsed by Arkstfan.

But at least it's not up for as much discussion... It's all the champs from P5...2 highest rated P5's that aren't champs and most likely the winner of the 2 highest ranked G5 champs...this Is also somewhat realistic as what you could actually get them to go for. They will never go for the mother of all playoffs.

Even you're plan, this year, right now, would leave out Notre Dame. Many people think they may be the best team in the country. They would be the first school left out in your plan. You don't think there would be some discussion about that?

When Notre Dame is left out, it is always a good plan.

If they aren't ranked higher than teams who just lost in the championship? Or 2nd place big 12? No, I'd have no problem leaving them out. If they can't be one of those 2 highest ranked after the other 6? What more benefit should they get?

[CajunAmos]

I still like the plan with each conference champion (12 I think) with the next four highest teams.

Maybe Notre Dame (and the other independents) should join a conference like everyone else.
