    Let’s not forget that there were no playoffs at all 4 years ago. Baby steps. It’s a step in the right direction. Before they can add another round to the playoffs they will have to convince teams to drop one or two of their fluff games. These are college kids and it is in no ones best interest to extend the season.  
    UCF should have no problem finding a fluff game or two to drop.... =). Sorry , I couldn’t resist .

    Nah I don’t take it as an insult. I have the line at 3.5 but even at 4 I don’t think it’s disrespectful. Keep in mind who the coach is and who he’s coaching against (his former assistant). That is worth a point or 2 imo. But to be honest if we lose by 4 points or less I will go to bed feeling pretty good about the season and our future. I just hope we can find those 4 points on the field somewhere. GO DAWGS.

    I would say 8 is too many but who knows . Then you would have 2 and 3 loss teams contending for national championship. And then what’s to separate the two and 3 loss teams that got in and the ones that didn’t? It’s a never ending argument. Whoever barely misses  it will always feel shafted .

    @Lit UCF's transformation to Champions 13-0 was not by luck nor accident.  It took tireless dedication by the entire program.  Congrats to the Knights!
    Husker Nation feels blessed to have Coach Scott Frost. Welcome home Coach.

    I agree, but let’s just say some have a few more to spare, which is why they are in this situation to begin with.

    It’s stupid there are so many college teams and to take only 4? There are only 32 NFL teams and 12 get in it doesn’t make any sense. 
    How many teams would you like to see get in? Top 20? Should strength of schedule play any part in deciding who gets picked?

    This is a home game for a hungry Georgia team. Freshman qb is my concern despite his performance thus far. Should be a good game. 
    One could argue this being a home game for Alabama as well. Look how many times they have played in Atlanta over the last several years.

    Top 20 would work. Strength of schedule is part of the rankings. It would be hard for a team that didn’t make top 20 to argue they should have been the national champion.

    @Eggdicted_Dawgfan They've discussed 6 or 8. Yes, strength of schedule is a consideration. But, if that's the soul focus then I would consider it rigged.  BIG, 12, PAC, SEC, ACC etc. all play hard and should have an equal chance at those seats based off of record.

    @etherdome completely agree. They need to either play in a legitimate conference, or knock out a few legitimate top 5-10 teams during the regular season. 

    Being #80-90 for SOS and arguing they should've got in is a joke. After the Aubrun win, ok, more valid argument...but it came too little too late. Maybe next year, though without Frost they'll prob drop. We'll see...

    Nonsense. Then it would mean next to nothing to make the playoffs. And I’m sure you know this is not even remotely possible. Unless you limit the regular season to 7 games. Money plays a huge part in the conversation.

    Yes 6 or 8 would be fine. Any more than that and you are taking too much away from the importance of every single game and that’s one thing that makes college football so much fun and so intense. You almost can’t lose and still control your own destiny.

    I see you didn’t mention the AAC in there. I don’t believe SOS should be the only factor and it’s definately not. But when all things are equal I think it should play a big part. But UCF schedule does not even rank in the top 60 I don’t believe. Where do you draw the line and let someone in just because they haven’t lost?

    So UCF should have just not played this year since they never had a chance from day one.

    No I think they play, they give it their best, and hold their heads high for knocking off Auburn in the Peach Bowl. It was a heck of a season. They proved they can hang with the best. 

    But to make the argument, prior to a big win against Auburn, that they should've been Top 4 because they were undefeated in the AAC is complete nonsense. That's why I believe they have to go undefeated and have a "signature win" to even be in the talks come CFP time.

    Well let’s say GA state went undefeated this year. Should they have been in? How about Troy? UAB? If an undefeated season guaranteed someone outside of a power 5 conference a spot in the playoffs what would be the reason to schedule tough out of conference opponents. They would all schedule the easiest schedule possible.

    Plenty of teams out there already know they could run the table next year and win every game by 40 and still not make the playoffs. Including UCF if they have the same SOS next year.

    They beat everyone they played they didn’t have a chance for a signature win. It seems like the way the schedule is chosen may be the biggest issue.

    Most of them are getting paid through scholarships. I wouldn’t mind them getting paid a little pocket change as well but my concern is once you open that door there will be no end.

    Yeah, and I'm sure there is so much that goes into scheduling...I also have no doubt good teams won't want to play UCF--they'll see it as a lose-lose. And that's why I would've loved to see UCF call out the P5 teams and challenge them to schedule UCF next year(s) -- but instead, they declared themselves NCs & showed (in my lowly opinion) why they don't belong on the big stage.

    In UCF case you are correct their schedule is their biggest issue. Raise the bar a couple notches and you may be on to something.

    A 4096-Team playoff would probably remove all arguments about teams not having a shot.  Although then people would complain about the seeding...
