Somebody was always angry. The 4 team playoffs for a sport with over 100 teams and 5 super conferences was always an idiotic half measure that truly failed every year. So no reason why it shouldn’t fail one last time.
The easiest way to reduce some of the contention around the four-team playoff format is to introduce a simple rule: Any team that loses its conference championship game is ineligible for the playoff. In effect, the conference championship game becomes a “preliminary round” among the playoff contenders.
