Okay, so im reading an aritcle on ESPN(http://espn.go.com/b...ur-team-playoff) about how all the SEC coaches are in agreement that, in a four-team playoff format, the teams selected should not have to be conference champions. Of course they would say that, but anyways, it got me thinking. How would I set-up the college football playoffs?
So here are my two realities, if you will
In an ultra-fair reality that will never happen in real life:
You take the top 8 conference champions and the seed them 1-8 based on there rankings, or SOS, or wins or whatever. Then you invite the 8 highest ranked teams who didnt win there conferenc title. they would be seeded 9-16 based on rank, or SOS, or wins or whatever. All of the conference champions, regardless of rank, size of school, or whatever will get a home-game in the first round. Then it would just go on from there.
In an semi-fair reality which could actully happen:
You take the champions of the top 4 conferences (SEC,Big 12, Big 10, Pac 12). Seed them 1-4 based on rank. Then you take the 4 highest ranked teams who didnt win their conference title and seed them 5-8 based on rank. Top 4 teams get a home game in the first round. Higher seeded team always gets a home game.
What do you guys think? what are the flaws in my scenarios? how would you do it differently?
Hopefully this will give us something to talk about...
