I see your 8 team playoff would be better than we have now, but with 8 teams you still have the committee deciding 6, 7 and 8. Still a good chance three second place teams (Alabama) get in and one of them wins it. Still too much committee control.
Just take the 5 P5 champs and have 4 play 5 in a wildcard game, winner goes to the final 4. One extra big $$ game and the committee's only job is to seed the 5 teams.
Make a conference championship mean something, winners go to the playoffs. Have the same deal for the G5 teams.
That’s not a bad idea. A few problems with that though.
1) We would likely have ZERO meaningful out of conference games. They won’t help or hurt you as far as winning your conference but why risk getting beat up for nothing gained.
2) Notre Dame and UCF can’t get in period. They are not in a P5.
With 3 at large teams, it gives those schools a chance to get in plus gives the P5 schools a reason to play a tough out of conference game. You may not win your conference but you just lost one game and beat a top 5 school that’s in another P5 conference.
I hate committees but I can live with them deciding 6, 7 and 8.
