Food for thought and further discussion.
Here is this years 8 team playoff that narrows down to the CFF:
Northwestern vs Ohio State
Notre Dame vs Clemson
Alabama vs Florida
Iowa State vs Oklahoma
One could argue that they are not the best 8 teams in the country either.
However, there is an opportunity for 3 new teams (UF, I St, and Northwestern) to become league champs and advance to the FF....for the first time in how long? Interesting to watch how this plays out.
Those on the outside looking in are Cinn, TxA&M, Coastal Carolina, BYU, and Oregon and San Jose State. One could argue that they are, or are not deserving of inclusion.
A G5 FF could be this:
BYU vs Cinn
Coastal Carolina vs Louisiana
So what value would any of those 4 teams provide to the 8 team playoff looking at their SoS other than it waters it down to the 12 best maybe?
Opinions will vary....it could be fun to watch how that G5 FF would turn out and they could have their own champion and make the regular season important again for more leagues and their teams.
This is all my speculation and you have yours. That is what makes being a fan so much fun. Enjoy today being one of the great days to be a CFB fan of the crazy 2020 season. Cheers fellow Card fans.
