With all of these "[Insert Name Here] has got to go" threads, I figured I would start one with the only thing that I believe really needs to go, and that is the current College Football Playoff system. In our current society of inclusion, how is it that a system can be so biased against a specific group of people or teams (G5 teams) and get away with it? I mean 4-3 Iowa State? Really?

LOL.

Voting on a NC has got to go!

BCS has got to go!

+ 1 has got to go!

 

Lets just switch to a single elimination tournament with any college who can field a team getting a shot. That way everyone can be included and we can all feel special for making the playoffs.

Ok melodramatic.  You have 4 teams out of 120+ make the playoffs and probably 90% of those teams are eliminated by week 2.  They've made baby steps towards a decent playoff system, but they're not there yet

It isnt that everyone needs to be included, but everyone should be represented at least. If you really believe that the AAC is a s*** conference, and that UCF winning 20 in a row is just a fluke (even though they beat an Auburn team who beat both the participants in last year's championship), then put your money where your mouth is and give them a shot. That's all I am asking. I'm just sick of the bias against G5 teams that the current system portrays. Expand the playoff to 8 teams, the five P5 champions, highest ranked G5 champion, and 2 at large bids. Then there's no debate, no bias. The best teams will be in.

So much of it is ‘who have you beaten’.. None of the top G5’s have a super impressive pelt to their name this season.

There no, "portrays", they've flat out said that the G5 have no shot.

UCF winning 20 in a row and beating Auburn last year means jack. Their D has taken a significant step back. Same thing w us winning 10 last year.. impressive, but just about all of those playmakers are gone.

If it were just that, it would be better, but it's becoming more about who have you lost to and by how much?

I haven't seen a CFP game yet or the NC.  I try to cancel my playstation vue after the main bowl season and before the playoffs.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
