This x1000! The conference schedules are so imbalanced that saying team X plays an SEC or B1G schedule doesn't mean that much. Ohio St and Indiana did not play comparable schedules. UGA and Tennessee did not play comparable schedules. This is going to create flawed, distorted playoff rankings every year and there isn't much the committees can do about it.

All true, but let's compare it to the 4-team playoff and the BCS. Which system is best? The truth is that D2 football has the superior system. NCAA DI football is like Winston Churchill's assessment of the U.S. - "They will always converge upon the best course of action after exhausting all other possibilities." (or something like that )

Stewart Mandel has some really good points in The Athletic today. We want to put the CFP, or even Greg Sankey, on full blast. But things to remember:

- This format came out before Texas/OU went to SEC
- Before P5 became P4, which then messed up the byes, because...
- Consolidation then led to 2 mega-conferences in P4 and thus 2 weak P4 conferences
- UT/OU led to dissolving divisions in SEC
- The old system had blowouts
- In fact, the parity-first NFL had 5 of 6 wildcard games as blowouts last year
- Changing the CFP format required a unanimous vote and this was never going to lead to what most wanted

Now, if you can blame all that on Sankey, then wow, he's pretty powerful.
