In 2014 Baylor and TCU absolutely deserved a shot. In fact the team that should have been #6 that year, Ohio State, wound up winning the whole thing. Just about every year since there are 1-3 teams in those lists that could have played for the national title. Also, due to the arbitrary nature of the playoff rankings, some of those teams which made it off the list and into the playoffs might have been no stronger than the ones listed just outside.

I don't see the crime in including all of them in an 8-team playoff. Any eventual winner would be historically credible based on playoff performance alone. None of the champions would be 84 BYU, 90 Colorado, 97 Michigan, or any number of questionably claimed national championships in the history of the sport.

        No one. That's why I'm in favor of an 8-team playoff. * - ndhouston 2018-12-15 09:08:47
