i like the idea of a 12 team playoff, i just think more emphasis should have been put on strength of schedule, and giving boise and arizona state byes is ridiculous.
the acc and big 12 should get 1 team in and the champ should definitely NOT be given a bye. that's dumb.
indiana was a cute story but they played one good team all year and got stomped. 12 seed at best. clemson in as an 11 seed. smu should have been out.
look, in the bball tourney you see 19-11 acc teams make it over 23-7 mac teams all the time. same should be true in college football.
we'll see what the tv ratings end up being. if penn st-smu and penn st boise end up with low ratings enough years, they'll tweak it.
and if the big ten and sec dont get the majority of teams moving forward, in the next iteration the tv networks will let them both know they need to start their own tourney to justify those billion dollar contracts.
