Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 2013632, member: 204"] Play offs do not necessarily decide who is the best team. They decide who, on a particular day, was the better team. If the present play-off structure truly wanted to decide things on the field, Penn State and not Ohio State would be one of the final four. Heck, the Nittany Lions beat the Buckeyes and won the Big Ten Championship. They are not in the final four because somebody decided off the field that Ohio State should go instead. In other words, there is still a very pronounced subjective component to the play-offs. And since that is that case, I would prefer just cutting to the chase and deciding who is the best team the way it was done for years. That would reduce the number of games - make the bowl system more viable - maintain the importance of the regular season and reverse the needless trend of making the college football the equivalent of the NFL playoffs.
