There was a lot of talk on ESPN after Alabama and Miami lost this weekend. But no one will talk about the elephant in the room. How good is a system when there are certain teams from certain conferences that have no chance of making the playoff? I am talking about UCF. That team is 11-0 and if they beat Memphis will be 12-0 (their game against Ga Tech was cancelled). Yet they have no hope of making the playoffs. This is a rigged system. The system wants the "best 4 teams". So everyone knows this year the "best 4 teams" are Alabama, Clemson, OSU and Auburn. Doesn't really matter what the other conference teams do.
By the way, the playoff teams spots open are just 2. The winner of the ACC and SEC championships are in (the losers are out). If Oklahoma and Wisconsin win they are in. If either of those two teams lose then Alabama is in. If both teams lose then Alabama and OSU are both in (yes Oklahoma will have the same record as OSU and beat them during the regular season), but we need to get the "best 4 teams", which are Alabama, Clemson, OSU and Auburn.
My humble opinion is that given the fact that only 4 teams make the playoffs all 4 teams should be conference champions. If you want to take non-conference champion teams, the playoff should be expanded to include all conference champions and 2 other teams. Based on rankings the top 4 champion teams get a bye. The next 4 teams host a play in game at their home stadiums against the last 4 teams on December 9, 2017. Losers can go to other bowl games. Winners play in the major bowl games on NYD.
