\nAs the SEC and other power conferences get ready for their respective championship games this week, the eyes of the college football world will focus on the folks responsible for selecting the 12 teams for this year’s College Football Playoff.

Could The CFP Rules Lead To A Super League?<\/h2>\n

The discussion kicks off with an examination of the inconsistencies plaguing the current CFP selection process. Jake highlights the subjective nature of the rankings and argues for a blend of subjectivity and objectivity. He proposes a formula that incorporates strength of schedule, win-loss records, scoring margins, and a objective committee to ensure a fairer system. This approach, he believes, would eliminate the biases and conspiracy theories that currently overshadow the playoff selection process.<\/p>\n

As the conversation unfolds, Rob and Jake delve into the idea of a super league, a concept that has been gaining traction among college football enthusiasts. They discuss the potential benefits of a super league, including clear-cut rules and guidelines that mirror the NFL model. This shift, they argue, could bring much-needed parity to the sport and ensure that the best teams truly compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n
