If UC finishes out the season undefeated and gets pushed out of playoff contention by Alabama and OSU, then the playoffs needs to be extended. It's as simple as that. It's becoming so ***** dull seeing the same teams go the playoffs every single year.
If Alabama wants to be in the playoffs, don't drop a game to an unranked team they should handedly beat. Simple enough. Holding a hard "no losses allowed" stance at least gives the committee a chance to shake things up each year.
Playoffs should be extended, but it's about money more than anything else. What would make the most sense is teams playing their conferences and the conference winners going to the playoffs. But that removes all of the out of conference games, some of which have significant history. Some small schools also play those big schools in regular season because they get paid to do so. And it pads the win record for the bigger team.
Again, the whole thing is driven by money. It's never been about deciding which team is really the best in the country. The whole ranking system is and always has been completely subjective. But to make it "right" they entire thing needs to be blown up. And like so many other sports institutions, it's like turning the Titanic in a swimming pool. And like any other commercial product, there's no incentive to change if the money keeps pouring in. And no one is going to stop watching college football.
