Now with Public Poll!
The idea is the same: Who would win a 16 team playoff!

Damn, the date it closes is off
I wouldn't do a cap on teams per conference. If three of the best teams are from, say, the SEC one season, it'd be unfair to leave one of them out for an arbitrary reason like that.
You rarely have three two loss teams in the same conference... I mean an example this year is the big 12... but obviously Missouri would be getting in over Kansas by the head to head victory... I think Hawaii would deservingly slip into that eigth slot... but the argument for Kansas is legitimate... how can you leave a one loss team out? I think thats just as much controversy as LSU #2 over a USC or OU... people will still scratch their heads over who is eight and nine... or 4 and 5... thats why a playoff doesn't solve everything... unless they scrap it all and just go with the top 16 as this thread suggests.
I still like an eight team format... final four the 3rd weekend of January... Final a week before the Superbowl... but that probably extends the season WAY TOO long and those students need time off I would think. A sixteen team playoff only works if its immediately after the season, which would end the first week of January... but the kids have finals going on at that time... don't be inconsiderate to that fact. March Madness doesn't extend into May and College Bball students have bigger dropput rates that football players I believe. They will never make that happen.
It's tough to say who would win a playoff, there are alot of very good teams, like Ohio State, LSU, Oklahoma, West Virginia and USC , all of whom I believe, have a legit chance to win.
How can you leave a one loss team out? Have you seen their schedule? Easily. Their schedule (minus Missouri) < Hawaii
