So, according to you, an 8-3 team that played a weak schedule and finshes at #16 deserves a shot in a playoff system, but a team that consistently goes 9-2 or 10-1 is getting a free ride? Seems just the opposite to me. A team that lost three times yet gets a shot at a Top 5 team would be the one getting the free ride, one they neither earned nor deserve.

Face it, the big conferences make the game what it is. Why should they reward their underachievers with a shot at another conference's top team when THEY haven't earned it on the field?

With a goofy 16 team playoff, you'd get an NFL look-a-like. A 9-1 team with a playoff spot locked up would rest their good players in the last game thereby screwing the fans who buy the tickets. Not gonna happen.
