Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 146223, member: 628"] Any system that can't decide it's playoff field purely by wins and losses (like the pro leagues do) is going to have an "arbitrary" cut-off [I]somewhere[/I]. IMHO the goal is to draw it in a place that (1) makes qualifying for the post-season meaningful, and (2) includes enough teams that should have a reasonable shot to win a championship. I've long felt that 8 is the perfect amount for college football. It's 7% of all FBS teams, which is crazy low compared to every other league in America. #8 this year would have been Kansas State -- they were a 10-2 team. Seems "reasonable" to give a 10-2 team a shot at a title. Hell, by comparison the 2003 SU hoops team wouldn't have had a shot, so it's a pretty damn selective criteria. [/QUOTE]
