It’s Time to Stop Reacting with Surprise to CFP Rankings and Instead Reject the System

Josh,
I’ve been thinking about how every year rankings come out, and then we all lose our minds about it. The current system is incredibly broken and continues to lead towards “oh, sorry we left out this team, let’s just add more teams next year.”
I think I have a better way to address some of the same problems occurring every year, the two problems being: how we objectively compare teams across conferences and how we determine playoff access.
It goes beyond expanding the playoff, or making a commissioner, or adding more people to this committee. It restructures cross-conference scheduling, uses tiered matchups to establish conference strength, and creates a 24-team playoff that would attempt to make things more objective.
I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of being angry every year about the same results. Maybe it’s time to throw the CFP tea into the harbor and say no CFP rankings without representation.
I’d genuinely be interested in hearing your thoughts on the proposal. Would you be willing to take a look? I am sure you get tons of things like this, with fans saying they have THE solution. I’m not saying I do, but I think I have had enough of being frustrated about a system that will continue to disappoint me.
Long live football and God bless!
