24 Team Playoff - Pros

[cdibbs]

This year you will see several 9-3 teams with much better resumes miss out on the playoffs.

Indiana will be 11-1 with 0 ranked wins

UCLA will be 12-0 with a backup QB with 1 "ranked" win over Oregon 17-15

In a 12 team playoff, weak schedules matter too much for how the committee ranks teams. 

In my opinion, a 9-3 Texas or 9-3 LSU should be in over an 11-1 Indiana if you compare the resumes honestly.  In a 24 team playoff, you get to see that actually play out on the field vs leaving it to a committee.

Yup. Plus a 10-2 Notre Dame team should not get in if there only “good” wins out to Wisconsin and SMU

Soundly stated though I do think Indiana is a very good team.

I don't doubt they are playoff worthy but they simply haven't been tested in the same way. I think the 24 team playoff lets it play out on the field vs relying on a committee which is a positive in a sport with vast scheduling differences.

Debating the pros of a 24 team playoff is a bit like debating the pros of getting herpes.

You wouldn't have wanted to see Texas get a shot at the playoff last year in a year where Miami got hot and nearly ran the table after barely squeaking in?

THey have a very good defense. 

The quarterback is atrocious.
