Conference Champions have to be part of the main equation when going to 8-team playoff. The 3 Wild Cards need to have certain factors as well and CCT should weigh more then a team who does not even win their division. This is about expanding and truthfully i would love to see a Cinderella team happen in this situation. UCF, Boise St. Etc.
If they just went with the Selection Committees rankings we could see as high as 4 teams from one conference. Here is a review of the CFP Selection Day rankings since the inauguration (I do think if it was a 8-team playoff these rankings would not remain true):
2014:
1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. FSU
4. OSU
5. Baylor
6. TCU
7. Miss. St.
8. MSU
2015:
1. Clemson
2. Bama
3. MSU
4. OU
5. Iowa
6. Stanford
7. OSU
8. ND
2016:
1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. OSU
4. Washington
5. PSU
6. Michigan
7. OU
8. Wisconsin
2017:
1. Clemson
2. OU
3. Georgia
4. Bama
5. OSU
6. Wisconsin
7. Auburn
8. USC
2018:
1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. ND
4. OU
5. Georgia
6. OSU
7. Michigan
8. UCF

Originally posted by Babs View PostThank you.
The rest of y’all need to stop kidding yourselves and act like you’re paying attention to the sport. If the committee picks eight teams to play, you’ll have three SEC teams, two teams from the current season’s trendiest “second-best” conference, and a crap shoot for the other three spots. And in the end you’ll get essentially the same result, but with an even more tedious bowl season than we have now.
Any suggestion to expand without reference to conference championships is seriously delusional.
If we aren’t going to put in the eight best teams then expanding to eight is a waste of time. Let’s stay at four."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Originally posted by dabrockster View PostIt is not delusional. The current rankings from the selection committee are inherently biased to the P5. The history shows this. I think there are possibilities for other teams out of the P5 who can compete with them. We can still expand to 8-teams but, What determines the 8 best teams??"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

As a fan of a non-P5 team, I couldn’t careless if there are 6 SEC teams in an eight team playoff as long as they’d reserve it. If you expand to 8 then I agree you should include the eight best teams. Expand to 16 and then you can auto qualify the conference champs...from all conferences, not just the P5."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

8 best according to whom? "Experts"?
If a playoff of any size doesn't include the conference champions then what is the point of having conferences at all?
