College football gets a 4 team playoff!
I can't wait! We are finally closer to determining a true champion on the field.
The details of the selection committee haven't been ironed out, but hopefully it will be something equitable.

There are a few sports writers that know what they are doing, but they are few and far between.
When does OSU come off probation? I am betting they will be in contention most years. I'd rather have an 8 or 16 team playoff, but this is certainly an improvement over the BCS.

Next year. When the playoff starts. My guess is that by 2020 we'll have an 8 team playoff. When the conferences see the kind of media exposure that the 4 playoff teams are getting they'll demand expansion. Baby steps, baby steps.

Team number 5 was better!.........

That is basically what I was thinking. This is a huge step in the right direction. Looking better!!

Yeah, I'm sure we will hear that. But then, we'll hear "Team number 17 was better!" if we get to a 16 team playoff too.

Don't go to 8. The BCS is a beautiful thing. Any more than 4 Mae the regular season shit. Now every game is still a payoff game.
Sweet Jane
Exactly.

That's a bogus argument and it's been put to bed. The regular season is going to be all about winning your conference now and that's the way it oughta be. That's why I think you see further consolidation of conferences. Eventually we'll have a 8 team playoff with 6 conference champs and two at large bids to make the lesser conferences happy. That will put the focus where it should always be. Winning your conference. The BCS marginlizes conference play. Lose two games but win your conference? Who cares, you're out of the BCS Championship picture. Now winning your conference is going to mean something.

With 126 teams playing, I think the regular season will still mean something whether we have a 4 team or an 8 team playoff.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
