  1. Some years I might find that worthwhile to consider. This year it doesn’t seem to matter. It just seems like a contest to see which other team will lose to Alabama by 30, like that year they were leading Notre Dame 28-0 at the half in the national championship game and sent in the marching band to play the second half. As I recall, their scrubs played Notre Dame dead-even after halftime. This year seems like more of that.

    Maybe Clemson can give them a battle. After all, they fought Bama to a standstill the last two years, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen this time.

    But for the future, I agree that the major conference champs plus two wild cards would be a fun way to do it.

  2. As long as the NCAA Div 1 Football does not have a true (win vs loss) playoff, there will never be a true National Champion.

    Toughness (or lack of it) and all of the other details that some people try to use to explain why a team is/is not champion material is something that is determined during conference play.

    That’s why the 6 major conference champions plus two wildcards- in this case, UCF would be one of them – should be the teams that play for the championship. That eliminates the ‘beauty contest’ aspect of the ‘playoff’.

    Put 8 slips of paper in a hat, each team HC picks a slip. The team on the paper is the team they play in the first round. After that, win vs loss determines play and finally, on the Saturday BEFORE The Super Bowl, you have the College Super Bowl where a true National Champion is crowned. In the odd case that the HC picks a slip with his own team on it, he picks again. Simple.

    It is the only way to have a true champ.
