Re: Shouldn't 4 losses disqualify a team from the playoffs?
In college football the regular season is the playoffs(doesnt mean im a fan of fbs system).
With regionalization the best 7 teams from each region play each other to advance to a national semifinal.
If a team is not good enough to be ranked in the top 7 of their region then why should they displace a team from another region?
Often times rankings are not accurate, espsially national ones. Regional committees are made up of members from their region, they know the schools they are compairing. It is not a national process. If it did switch to a national process you would have upstart teams being left at home with a better record vs a school with better name recognition.
Case in point Harding getting in over GVSU.
On a national poll GVSU gets in every time over harding.
If we are going to talk about ammending things, last year 4 2 loss teams were left out in SR4, why should a 3 loss team be getting in over them. Commerce won the Natty and all but 1 game in Region 4 was very competitive.
Regionalization works. But if the big conferences keep their Silo Scheduling they need to go to 8 teams and no bye week for number 1 to help make sure we get every team with a shot in the po's.
