NCAA I-A Football: Get rid of the CFP!!!

I talked about this topic last year: NCAA IA Football Time for a REAL playoff.

After what can only be characterized as a TOTALLY BOGUS (e.g. corrupt) process for the fourth edition, I strongly believe the time has come to do away with the bowls and polls and institute a REAL playoff system for Division I-A college football, as Divisions I-AA, II and III did years ago.

Why? You have an undeserving good ol' boys Alabama team who didn't even win their division nor conference selected over the Big Ten Champions, The Ohio State University Buckeyes; and also that the ONLY REMAINING UNDEFEATED I-A TEAM WAS LEFT OUT (The University of Central Florida Knights).

Ohio State had wins over 3 ranked teams, all in the Top 15 (2 in the Top 4), Alabama only 2 (all in the 16-25 range). Comparable FPI and Strength of Schedule, too. So what if Iowa blew out OSU earlier in the season? OSU is the ONLY team with a Top 10 offense AND defense.

The real eye test that mattered was completely ignored by the CFP committee: Ohio State's offense and defense did what they needed to do against Wisconsin. Alabama's offense and defense fell apart against Auburn.

And of couse, selecting Alabama over Ohio State failed the SMELL test, BIG TIME!!! (Insert poo emoji here. ~^~ )

If UCF beats Auburn in the Peach Bowl, I shall consider them, the only undefeated team, as the TRUE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.

We need a 16-team playoff, so each of the 10 conference Champions is included, plus the best independent team, plus the best five of the rest. NOW!!!!!

JAN 1, 2018 UPDATE: UCF 34, Auburn 27. UCF, TRUE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!. Meanwhile, back in the fake "playoff", Georgia won a 2OT shootout with Oklahoma, 54-48; Alabama wins a hohum 24-6 match with Clemson. Two one-loss teams from the same conference meeting for the "national" championship? No thank you $EC. UCF IS UNDEFEATED!!!

BTW, Ohio State beat USC in the Cotton Bowl, "Rose Bowl East" because of the faux playoff.
