I'm just throwing ideas out there because votes are what suck.
Your record is what should merit your field.

You can't vote the Redskins into the playoffs even if they were 10-6 and didn't make the wild card while the Patriots won their division with a 7-9 record.
The best teams don't always get in.

The 10th seed won the WS this year.
The mighty mighty Dodgers bandwagon is sitting in a junk yard, out of gas.

The biggest problem I see Dustin is defining the best team in college football.
The best team doesn't always win. The team who plays the best at the end does. The hottest team so to speak.
Also, we are trying to determine best teams by votes. Votes! Think about that for a second.
It is so ripe for corruption or collusion that it's pits are falling out.

If you can't win your conference championship, how do you get to go the National championship?
By votes? Terrible terrible way to set a field. This isn't gymnastics.

Wild card? Have a play-in game(s) then between 2nd place finishers.

But under no circumstance (in my mind) should a team that didn't win it's conference be voted in to a 4 team field.
When you get to 8 teams or better there stands reason to let 2nd place finishers in.

Dodger ownership is interested in buying the bandwagon for $300,000 if you'll throw in a few vehicles that don't work

I'm sorry, but Alabama is NOT one of the best four teams in the country. I know they will be in the next Final Four rankings and maybe its a transition year for them, but anytime you need overtime to beat a team where the QB threw for 70 yards, you're suspect.

Alabama plays defense well, but I don't think LSU is worth shit, so I don't give them a lot of credit for the win. YMMV.

BTW, who are the 4 best teams in the country?

Not interested in what LSU has done over the last decade; that doesn't help them win games right now. I saw a slow, plodding team with a highly inaccurate quarterback. It was like watching a slow boxer, who knows he doesn't have any legs or a jab, invite another slow, no legs fighter to engage in a fistfight - it sounds good, in reality is just ugly.

Now, again, both teams can easily be in transition years and the announcers repeatedly said that the coaches didn't take the reigns off either quarterback. But that said, neither were impressive. And LSU dropped the ball BIG TIME by blowing that first and goal at the 6 with a minute left and then the absolute choke job by the kicker, who I'm sure was told to be a pussy and squib kick at an angle.

FSU just keeps winning.. nothing you can say about that. Style points don't matter for shit, especially when youre one of two legit unbeaten teams left.

Oregon does what Oregon does, just steamroll people. They'll be in the playoffs for sure - they'll beat the Pac 12 south team in the PAC12CG.

That TCU is a monster that nobody is watching. Theyre special. If theyre the 4th seed in the playoffs, number 1 better not be FSU; they cant let TCU get ahead and expect to come back and win.

Whomever represents the SEC is one and done. It doesn't even matter at this point - one team, two teams, the whole field (not). Based on what I saw today/tonight, theyre all marginal with a lot of historical hype driving their rankings and reputation.

At least 8 ugly, slow plodders on the team you watched will be playing in the NFL.

If your idea of pretty football has to be 55-38, I can see where you may not appreciate it.

I would certainly entertain some sort of wager on that.
