Dear College Football Playoffs:
Your 14-team playoff plan sucks. It will turn into three Big 10 teams, two ACC teams, two Big 12 teams, the best Group of Five team and six SEC teams - and no Independent teams, so Notre Dame, the most storied program in college football, will never be national champion until they affiliate their football team with the ACC like they did with the rest of their athletics department.
Do this instead.
Sixteen teams. No byes. Here's how they go in:
The team with the best regular-season record in college football
The SEC, ACC, Big 10 and Big 12 champions unless the team with the best regular-season record is a Power Four conference champion, and then the best remaining team from that conference
The conference champion of each of the Group of Five conferences
The team with the best record among the five Independents and the Pac-2
Five wildcards from any conference, with no more than one team per conference
And...all the teams from one conference go on the same side of the bracket. No one who isn't an SEC fan wants the national championship game to be a replay of the SEC championship, which has happened in the past.
