Why do we even have playoffs?


Dec 2, 2018, 10:16 AM

We should just go back to the AP votes since it’s all about “who we think are the best teams”.

It seems like the result on the field doesn’t matter.

They’re taking about Georgia in the playoffs is ridiculous. The conversation should just be between Ohio State and Oklahoma, and maybe Notre Dame at most. That’s it.

The conversation is between OU and OSU...

in the room that matters.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


That is a valid point. Basically what Herbie is advocating

is exactly what we were trying to get away from 20 years ago, where opinions trumped actual results. Of course that led to the BCS computer models of pure formula which them swung the pendalum back away from the "eye test".

The playoff committee was supposed to create that balance between pure formulas and raw opinion, wasn't it?

Unless and until there is a TRUE playoff format...

similar to what the FCS teams use, the human element and the "eye test" bull$#!7 will continue to be a fundamental flaw in the existing system.

Why even ask this question?

I really enjoy the games! Esp when Tigers win...

Thirteen opinions from one room that can be affected by group think vs 61 independent opinions. It just seems obvious to me that the committee is not an improvement. Set the guidelines up for the writers to use for judging the teams so that they are on a similar page and let them do the job. The committee only seems to use the guidelines to justify what they decide, not to determine it.

I was referring to determine the playoff participants. I am not advocating scrapping the playoffs.

You want writers to pick? Even using a criteria guideline I

shiver at the thougth of Finebaum or Sapakof having any real say in voting.

To get the best 4 perceived teams together and to watch them duke it out to see who is the best at the end of the year.
