[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1433883, member: 588522"] You're right. ND might not be one of the best 4 teams, but they have the resume of one. I would tab Georgia over them (and honestly OU and OSU). The playoff committee is better as the BCS system was, but not much. There's no such thing as a perfect system. Playing one-off games has been shown multiple times to be chaotic and not representative of who's actually the best team in the country, but example for this year, there's three (4, but thats a whole other argument) undefeated teams, sure Bama has looked the most dominant (and has the stats to mostly back that up), but its not clemson or ND's fault necessarily. An 8 team playoff, 5 conference champs, best G5 team, and two wild cards is more appealable to fans, but I honestly can't say it fixes it competely, and the more one-off games you play, the more parity and chance you add to possibly getting the 2nd or 3rd or worse team be labelled champ. I guess to that end, that's how most sports work anyways. [/QUOTE]
