Except that is not watering it down. There were easily a dozen teams this year that deserved a shot. ALA, TENN, Utah, USC, Penn St, Clemson, Kan ST, WASH, FL ST.

You see, doing it the other way comes back to simply voting for the best teams. How in the world is that a good way to determine anything?

No there were not a dozen teams that deserved a shot. That is totally horse crap
There were teams that LOOKED like they might for a few games and then subsided
THAT IS WHY THE WHOLE SEASON IS IMPORTANT
THAT IS WHAT SORTS THEM OUT

TCU has already been a victim of this crappy playoff system. Remember a few seasons ago when they had an undefeated season but were left out of the playoffs? The reason given then was the lack of a conference title game. This year lost the title game and everyone (everyone being the biased big school thugs) wanted to leave TCU out because they lost to K-State and replace them with Alabama, who didn't play in the title game. Alabama deserved it more, they said.

I love watching college ball, but there HAS to be a better way to handle the playoffs and / or championship games. Why not copy the NFL or high school way of doing it? They could reduce the season from 12 to 10 games and have a tiered playoff system similar to what they do with the Texas high school post season. That makes the most sense. Or have conference championships actually have meaning. Most conference champions in the current college system end up playing in some crappy, meaningless bowl game. The current system is unfair to many good schools.

its not as idiotic as copying the professional stupidity
BUT I am sure all those whining about this just want to be entertained; the actual games mean nothing

You are always going to have someone choosing
Look at the NCAA basketball tournaments
This idea that having everyone qualify is a good thing is just so stupid

That isn't even remotely close to what I was suggesting.

All teams have ups and downs during a season.

No, the circus is what's happening now, when they frickin' vote for the best teams. That makes no sense in any way.
