[QUOTE="Franklin Delano Bluth, post: 1362884, member: 44648"] People arguing that we should get rid of the playoff because UCF didn't get in/ there was no "justice" in the selection of teams must be forgetting how much more ambiguous things were in the past. Under the previous systems, this year's champion would have been even more in question. FBS is the only collegiate sport that didn't have some sort of playoff which was crazy - every other level of football in college has a playoff. Also - playing devil's advocate re: UCF, does anyone else think that perhaps they came in with a chip on their shoulder for not having made the CFP and that they caught a seriously deflated Auburn team that controlled their own destiny, and laid an egg in the SEC championship vs a team they smoked earlier this year? Auburn had their ticket to the playoff and lost it - UCF was playing to prove that they belonged in the playoff [/QUOTE]
