Casagrande: Here's What's Wrong with the College Football Playoff
The College Football Playoff is a flawed system that needs to be fixed.
That's the opinion of Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt, who laid out his case in a recent column. Klatt argues that the Playoff is too small, too exclusive, and too predictable.
The Playoff is currently a four-team tournament, which means that only the top four teams in the country make it. Klatt believes that this is too small and that the Playoff should be expanded to eight teams.
An eight-team Playoff would give more teams a chance to compete for a national championship and would make the regular season more meaningful.
Klatt also argues that the Playoff is too exclusive. The current system only allows Power Five conference champions to make the Playoff, which means that teams from Group of Five conferences are automatically excluded.
Klatt believes that this is unfair and that teams from Group of Five conferences should be given a chance to compete for a national championship.
Finally, Klatt argues that the Playoff is too predictable. The same teams seem to make the Playoff every year, and there is little drama or suspense in the regular season.
Klatt believes that an eight-team Playoff would make the regular season more exciting and would give more teams a chance to compete for a national championship.
Here are some specific changes that Klatt would like to see made to the College Football Playoff:
- Expand the Playoff to eight teams.
- Allow teams from Group of Five conferences to compete for a national championship.
- Create a new ranking system that is more accurate and predictive.
- Implement a playoff format that is more fair and equitable.
Klatt's proposals are sure to be debated in the coming months. The College Football Playoff is a popular and successful event, but it is not perfect. Klatt's proposals would make the Playoff more fair, more exciting, and more inclusive.
