[QUOTE="doneagain, post: 131124672, member: 1396145"] My question to those that are opposed to expansion is what makes 4 the right number? Opinion? Why isn’t 2 the right number anymore? It was for years according to the pre-playoff era talking heads. To me if they are going to limit it on purpose then it should have stayed at 2 with the old BCS system. They are still just deciding who gets to play for the championship like the BCS did, and then after the 4 teams play, they all say, “Oh, the committee got it right.” Well when only the 4 teams they selected have a chance to win it, obviously one of the 4 will win it. That doesn’t mean TCU couldn’t have won it when they were snubbed after conveniently dropping from third to 5th behind Ohio State. And I don’t blame OSU for that as any school in that position would be happy they got bumped in even at someone else’s expense. The conference championships of the P5 conferences have to mean something, otherwise when the G5 schools finally get the balls to sue over exclusion, they can say the argument that G5 conferences aren’t good enough is moot because clearly the playoffs don’t respect the P5 champions either, so there is no clear distinction between level of competition among the G5’s and P5s, unlike weight classes in boxing.
