There aren't 8 teams that can win the championship.

Last year proved that there were only 2. There isn't any reason to waste everyone's time with a playoff of teams that can't win. Make the 4 Power 4 conference championship games the quarterfinals. I realize we have to get to 4. Put everyone else in the bowl games. The playoff is fine at 4. No one in the G5 is good enough to make the top 4. They could make the top 12, and they have proven it. But they don't seem satisfied with just being able to do that.

College football show last night, all 6 said G5 need a playoff & own NC. -- Stech 11/30/2017 6:53PM

The heads romanticizing about it now, won't be that interested in it later. -- Maroon Baboon 12/02/2017 12:37PM

UCF's defense is atrocious...great job by Scott Frost on offense though, -- Stech 12/02/2017 5:58PM

A 2017 G-5 Playoff would look something like this.... -- Old Line Hokie 12/01/2017 5:47PM

2 many teams in that playoff. Should be 4, maybe a max of 8. No more. ** -- Atlee Hokie 12/02/2017 09:13AM

I agree that it would likely be 4 or 8. -- Old Line Hokie 12/02/2017 11:50AM

You left out ND. ** -- EDGEMAN 12/01/2017 8:13PM

I would watch those games in a second...they would matter 10 fold more too. ** -- Stech 12/01/2017 6:39PM

Whether they are 1 mile or 10 miles from P5, doesn't matter. -- Atlee Hokie 12/02/2017 09:12AM

I don't think it can happen because... -- Alicks 12/01/2017 06:04AM

I'd make ND compete with the G5 Teams... -- Mr. Touchdown 12/01/2017 12:40PM

There aren't 8 teams that can win the championship. -- HOO86 12/01/2017 10:14AM

But we don't have to get to four. One can be left out. -- crabcake77 12/02/2017 5:07PM

Agreed. This isn't basketball -- VT ChemE 1986 12/01/2017 1:50PM

I maintain basketball isn't anchored in reality either. -- Atlee Hokie 12/02/2017 2:39PM

Agreed. Probably 10-15 are capable of winning it all ** -- VT ChemE 1986 12/02/2017 6:30PM

Yep. 3 CFPs, and we've only needed more than two once. ** -- reestuart 12/01/2017 4:14PM

Agree that 4 is perfect. The games this weekend are all huge... -- reestuart 12/01/2017 11:01AM

Agree it won't happen until the G5 give up, 6-8 P5+ playoff more likely ** -- WestyHokie 12/01/2017 09:42AM

I don't want college football to be so cookie cutter -- Colonel Jessup 12/01/2017 09:32AM

Agreed. If college football turns completely into NFL life TE, -- reestuart 12/02/2017 08:32AM

The Presidents of the P5 are adamantly against the 8 team playoff. Reason -- Stech 12/01/2017 07:08AM

That position has never made sense to me -- WestyHokie 12/01/2017 09:44AM

Ah, the 4 division idea! I’m totally in! (Beware…long post) -- Alicks 12/01/2017 09:29AM

If the P5 ever breaks away, sure. ** -- EDGEMAN 11/30/2017 7:53PM
