In my opinion, I think Florida is the best team in the country, I think TCU might just be the 2nd best team, I also dislike the arrogance of "my confrence is more superior than yours" type attitude, I believe that if you think your team is so good, you would want to watch them make their way to the championship game by taking out the best.

I wouldnt want my favorite team to get a free pass to the big game, I would want to see them play the toughest teams and earn their spot, Florida played Charleston So.Florida International, Troy, Vanderbilt and Miss. ST, not very good teams here, every team in the top 25 has played cupcake teams, and that is why I would want to see Florida take out the big dogs.

I playoff system in College Football really makes me cringe. I just don't think that the rankings are always accurate. For years, I have been a firm believer in a hierarchical points system.

Wins
Against NCAA Div I FBS = +4 points
Against NCAA Div I FCS = +3 points
Against NCAA Div II = +2 points
Against NCAA Div III = +1 point

Considering that the quality of teams declines as you go through the divisions, I do believe that the number of points you earn should also decline. Winning against Miami (OH) shouldn't earn you the same amount of points as winning against Miami U.

NCAA Div I FBS Losses
Against NCAA Div I FBS = -1 point
Against NCAA Div I FCS = -2 points
Against NCAA Div II = -3 points
Against NCAA Div III = -4 points

NCAA Div I FCA Losses
Against NCAA Div I FBS = -1 point
Against NCAA Div I FCS = -1 points
Against NCAA Div II = -2 points
Against NCAA Div III = -3 points

NCAA Div II Losses
Against NCAA Div I FBS = -0 point
Against NCAA Div I FCS = -1 points
Against NCAA Div II = -1 points
Against NCAA Div III = -2 points

NCAA Div III Losses
Against NCAA Div I FBS = -0 point
Against NCAA Div I FCS = -0 points
Against NCAA Div II = -1 points
Against NCAA Div III = -1 points

The way this would work is that FBS teams that lose against Div III teams would lose much more than if they lost against another FBS team, and that a Div III team wouldn't lose any points after a loss to a FBS team, since they are in a much lower division and that they are at a severe disadvantage.

That would guarantee that the team that beats the most best teams/doesn't lose against the worst teams would be placed at the top of the standings.
