It matters to encourage parity.

IMO, that should be a major goal of the post season. Otherwise, things stay lopsided forever.

If you could set th rankings criteria for the playoff, what would be in it?
Stech • 12/26/24 11:24 AM ET
The argument, I suppose, is whether you are crowning the best or a champion
Hokester • 12/30/24 09:54 AM ET
That would be the ideal way, but obviously the SEC and Big10 would...
cincyhokie • 01/01/25 01:16 PM ET
I wouldn't set strict criteria
Pylons • 12/29/24 07:13 AM ET
Remember, the 2 team BCS used a compilation of computer rankings
PadrosWindup • 12/28/24 10:01 AM ET
Some objective mathematical criteria is better than none, we can & should
Stech • 12/28/24 10:19 AM ET
I would do it like European soccer.
Gobbler-100 • 12/27/24 09:55 PM ET
No rankings until November 1
mrcaniac • 12/27/24 07:25 PM ET
Unfortunately you can’t stop the media from having polls. And then pundits
IB4TECH • 12/27/24 08:55 PM ET
Can stop using their polls in the CFP rankings though**
mrcaniac • 12/28/24 06:28 PM ET
How?
Pylons • 12/29/24 04:04 PM ET
Something not talked about enough: the college football punditry class love
Maroon Baboon • 12/27/24 10:26 PM ET
So true!!!**
Stech • 12/27/24 08:00 PM ET
Most objective way to make changes is to do relegation and promotion.
Maroon Baboon • 12/27/24 07:01 PM ET
Something like this. A minimum of 9 wins, and win your bowl game.
Truthahn • 12/27/24 01:25 PM ET
If you are going to introduce "math", just use computer rankings...
jesuisvtguy • 12/27/24 12:55 AM ET
Like your more equitable math suggestion on who u beat, opinion domination
Stech • 12/27/24 04:19 PM ET
Bingo on the "Top 25" number. Anyone looking to remove "bias" should start
Maroon Baboon • 12/27/24 10:46 AM ET
Only computer rankings that have zero input from polls.
EDGEMAN • 12/27/24 10:17 AM ET
Exactly, not only the P2, but everyone including ND would play more tough
Stech • 12/27/24 04:23 PM ET
Correct. No "experts" allowed, only cold hard data bits.**
Hokester • 12/27/24 12:32 PM ET
i don't think it matters

Beat UVA, you’re in playoff.
lawhokie • 12/26/24 11:50 AM ET
That would only fly, if UVA went to P2.**
manassashoo • 12/27/24 09:54 AM ET
Conference winners only. Let the conferences split up, and only
Big12 guy • 12/26/24 11:38 AM ET
What's nice about this is that all participants are decided on the field.**
Hokester • 12/27/24 12:35 PM ET
If interested n fairness or integrity, they would, but their goal is 💵💵💵
Stech • 12/26/24 02:44 PM ET
The total purse will be the same regardless of who is in it
daveinop • 12/27/24 08:07 AM ET
I would do more NFL style with even smaller groupings
HokieAl • 12/26/24 02:29 PM ET
This makes the most sense **
