Oh contraire. I want the sportswriters and the computers thrown out of the process entirely. See:
You have four major superconferences. As each will have 12 or more members, they will all have conference championship games to decide their champion. The four champions of the four conferences can then play a playoff amongst the final four.
You can call it boring but the money will be huge and the prestige higher this way than the current polarizing political method.
Imagine if Alabama and Georgia met for the SEC title, Kansas St. and Florida State met for the Big XII title, UCLA and Stanford played in the Pac-14 title game and Nebraska met Wisconsin for the Big 10 title* (without Ohio St.which would replace Ohio St. except it is on probation).
Then the winner of those four games seed the Final Four to determine the National Championship. In this continued “what if” scenario, Alabama plays Kansas St. and Stanford plays Nebraska for the berths in the title game.
The beauty is the winners are determined on the field, not with a slide rule or with an idiot poll.
There you go. You care about money, I care about football. You want to watch your money, and I want to watch my football. You don't want me to be able to watch my football. I don't want your George Soros-style OCD football. Why can't you switch to soccer. You can have even bigger money there, because it can translate worldwide. Or whatever. Soccer is just what you need. It has all the big money and cleanliness you want, with out the messiness, the Americanness, and tradition you abhor. Please.
You don’t get it. The media is salivating, because under the new system they get to decide everything. They have total control. Now, all the teams will load up their schedules with puffball high-school-level opponents. And the sportswriters can keep the same 8 teams in the playoff, no matter which teams are better. Yawn.
A more realistic scenario, Alabama LSU Georgia are the best three teams in the country.Only one gets to play for the national championship. College football is flawed beyond repair as far as national championships are concerned. A playoff system will never be any better than the old bowl system was.
