[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1362876"] UCF's omission requires an 8-team playoff, not a reversion to a bowl system that gave us split national champions and instances of undefeated teams like 1994 Penn State or 2004 Auburn getting nothing. The old bowl system was an absolute joke in terms of determining a national champion. If you want justice for teams like UCF, the old system is the worst thing you can ask for. The new system is a step in the right direction, but that next step -- expansion to 8 teams -- will get us even closer. By the way, if you didn't watch the Rose Bowl, you missed an absolute classic. Big Ten or not, that was definitely the best football game I've seen in person, and one of the better games I've seen, period. [/QUOTE]
