Leaves out the Domers, so not happening. Only change would be if they permanently join the ACC, which I highly doubt.

Not if theyre the highest ranked non P5 school. At least then there are paths to the playoff for every represented element.
I'm for this or they say the hell with it and reformat into 4 Super Conferences of 16 teams and the champs of each conference go to the playoff

I was hoping for that a few years ago when it looked like the Big XII might fall apart. That actually makes for an 8-team playoff among the division winners. ND could run wherever they need to if they want to be included.

I am good with this format but I don't think the conferences would go for it since there would be no conference champion unless the first round games were the CCGs.

It’s a four team playoff of conference champions. Which in effect is an 8 team playoff of division winners, with the first round being the 4 CCGs.

Not even Trevor Lawrence can save Clemson and Dabo from another loss to the Fighting Irish.

1. Notre Dame
2. Alabama
3. Ohio State
4. Texas A&M

I can already see Woody and Bear going at it. Bo doesn't seem to know this playoff even exists.

  1. Alabama (11-0)
  2. Clemson (10-1)
  3. Ohio State (6-0)
  4. Notre Dame (10-1)
This is, by far, the easiest scenario to project. If you're on the College Football Playoff selection committee, you might even be secretly rooting for the weekend to play out like this to make your job easier.

This is pretty simple: Alabama beats Florida in the SEC championship game, Clemson avenges its loss to Notre Dame and tops the Fighting Irish in the ACC title game and Ohio State wins the Big Ten by defeating Northwestern.

Alabama would clearly retain the top spot. Clemson and Ohio State would move up one ranking. Notre Dame would fall from No. 2 to No. 4 with its only loss having come at the hands of the Tigers. Depending on how the games play out, perhaps the Buckeyes could make a case to be No. 2 instead of No. 3, but that wouldn't change the matchups at all. It's difficult to imagine this scenario playing out and any team outside of these four making the field.

To win a national title with this layout, the Buckeyes would have to go through Clemson and either Alabama or Notre Dame. Buckle up.
