I read where CFL will use strength of Schedule more in determining the twelve teams for the CFP playoff. In my opinion ( yes, I know, who asked me), anything besides head to head competition is worthless. Maybe the coaches, fans and media like all these metrics, but I think the players would want it decided on the field.
I propose that in March of each year the CFP committee choose the top 48 teams in the country. Then you form 4 conferences as follows:
The 1st, 5th, and 9th teams go into one conference. Then 2nd, 6th, 10th, in the next. 3rd, 7th, 11th in next. 4th, 8th, 12th in next. The last 36 teams split randomly among the 4 conferences. Then each team plays the 11 teams in their conference for their college season. Randomly decide which teams get the 6th home game. If two teams tie for the lead have a playoff. Then the four winners of those conferences play in a four team semifinal and final playoff.
I can hear the screaming already. What about the traditional conferences? What about them? They've all been turned upside down and they change pretty much every year anyway.
Media and Alumni: we need more than 6 months to schedule telecasts and make travel arrangements. Well, tough. The media and rich alumni are what caused this mess to begin with. The only people that matter, the students, will be there.
And yes, Note Dame, if you want to be in the mix, you have to participate.
No more committees, polls, or metrics deciding things after the March 48 decision.
