So what? The end result is you get a true champion. Take all 10 conference champs and the 6 highest ranked teams that didn’t win their conference and determine it on the field. Don’t need any arbitrary commitees or computers.
The logistics kill a sixteen team playoff. No one will know week to week where they will be playing. The teams/fans won’t be able to make travel arrangements. Won’t happen.
What could happen is an eight team playoff. Sixteen teams in four conferences with a championship game. Then the four teams advance, etc.
Besides there is no reason to include a bunch of teams with no chance of winning, ie, the mid-american, mountain west, etc.
If a player is on a playoff caliber team for four years, it's possible he could play up to 64 games not counting the conference title games. That's the equivalent of 4 regular pro seasons as an amateur.
I've said all along that the playoff system isn't going to settle the controversies. It will only change the controversy from who is number one and number two to who is number four and who is five, six and so forth.
It's all about the money.
