Faux Pelini explains the Playoffs

How to make the Playoff, by Faux Pelini

So, you can only be in the Playoff if you are a member of one of the power conferences, or Notre Dame, I guess. Or maybe BYU. Except no, not BYU, because, well, just no. And not UCLA either, because UCLA is obligated to lose a random, stupid game at some point every season.

Now, when you are a college football team whose only job is to win the rest of its games, it is an advantage to play as many teams that are bad at football as you can. Playing good teams is more fun and interesting and dramatic, but those are not things that help you go undefeated. You don't get into the Playoff by winning big games; you get into the Playoff by not losing any games. And not playing good teams helps you do that.

This guy is great. Take a minute to read, I laffed. 

Pretty straight forward.

Which is exactly why the ACC and SEC decided not to go to a 9 game conference schedule, and most of the teams in those conferences play a garbage OOC slate.
