The Polls (AP, Coaches, & CFP, etc.)

I don't hate this, or any of the other proposals for that matter. But there was an Ohio State team that would not have been in the playoff in an 8-team field by those criteria, that WAS in the 4-team field. The committee considered PSU's win over Ohio State that year a fluke. And you know what? They were 100% right.

In spite of that though, it wouldn't kill me to see this come to pass. It also wouldn't kill me to see the status quo remain. The simple truth is, I haven't seen a single year where a single team was left out of the playoff that had a REASONABLE argument for being the best team in the country. Call me crazy, but I prefer a world where a team that is the best in the country is the one that wins the NC. Some might like a world where a wildcard team gets hot at the right time and wins the SuperBowl. That's just not my preference.

Another thing that I don't like about the "MUST have played in their CCG" criterion: that prevents the Buckeyes from crushing the cowards in the playoffs. What's the good of expanding the playoff if we can't pants the wolverines in it?
