The dust has settled, it is obvious that the CFP selection committee favors the 1 loss conference Champion over a two loss team that was most likely better if they played on a neutral field.
If that's the case, we should have all the conference champion plus the best Independent team go in a 11 team playoff where the opening round games would take place starting this Saturday on the lower seeds stadium.
Here is how it would work:
#1 Alabama
#2 Clemson
#3 Notre Dame
#4 Oklahoma
#5 Ohio State
#6 UCF
#7 Washington
#8 Fresno State
#9 App State
#10 Northern Illinois
#11 UAB
The Top 5 would get byes to the Quarterfinals, which makes sense considering there is usually one team that feels like they get left out of the playoff. Here is the bracket:
#8 Fresno State #1 Alabama
#9 App State
Game at 7:30 on ESPN Game at 9AM on ESPN
#4 Oklahoma
#5 Ohio State
Game at 5pm on ABC
#6 UCF #3 Notre Dame
11 UAB
Game at 5PM on ABC Game at 12:30 on NBC
#7 Washington #2 Clemson
#10 Northern Illinois
Game at 12:30PM on ABC Game at 4pm on ESPN
Wildcard round would be on December 8th with the Quarterfinals on December 15th. Semi Finals and Final would be remain unchanged. This draw is fair to every conference and makes every game a huge game as there is no back door like Alabama used last year. Yes, I have been a Georgia activist all week but it's because of my jealousy of how Alabama got in last year.
