For a long time I've said that I can't get into college football as much as I do the pros because the way they pick the top teams is too subjective. There are too many personal preferences, too much politics, and a whole myriad of other things going on that should not be part of the process.
Coming up with a playoff system is a step in the right direction, however, there are two major problems with it the way it is currently. One, how many college teams are there? I'm asking because I don't know, but I would guess there are several hundred teams. Only having 4 teams in the playoffs when there are that many teams is ridiculous. There should be at least 16 teams, and preferably 32 teams going to the playoffs. Secondly, they need to get rid of the committee and determine which teams go to the playoffs based strictly on stats...the same way the NFL is done. It could easily be done. This way you take all subjectivity out of the equation, and you eliminate the controversy...
