Reply to comment by just57572 in Georgia, Michigan, TCU, Ohio St. picked for CFP by Nuonorp

Friday and Saturday results would seem to disagree with that statement.

Ahhh! I meant best teams in the country… which is Michigan and Georgia.

Again, there has never been an upset in college football in championship games. I mean chalk is all that happens.

Play the games. There is crap for inter-conference play to get a real feeling for who is the best. Sure, Georgia and Michigan look really strong this year, but I’d rather see a system with all 5 major conference champions get in and 7 others.

I like upsets also, but I don’t think we should add more teams just hoping for chaos. I guarantee that for every upset we have there will be multiple blowouts. And just because an upset happens, it does not mean that one team is better than another.

But you just said that the “best teams find a way to win”.

I’ll take 12 teams and some dud games to give every power 5 conference champion a seat at the table. Was a “worthless” weekend of football when the 4 in the playoff was going to be the same whether Georgia, Michigan or TCU won or lost. Makes the conference championships mean something to be playing for a berth and likely bye.

I guess if someone besides Georgia, and Michigan (who found a way to win every game they played) wins the title I will admit defeat.

Conference championships did mean something.
USC had a playoff berth if only they had won. TCU wins their conference championship and there is no doubt they are in, losing three their bid into question.
