If things go as expected in the ACC and SEC championship games this weekend, the CFP selection committee will have a relatively simple job naming the four participants in the 2015 tournament. The winner of the Big Ten championship game is a virtual lock for one spot, as is Big XII champion, Oklahoma. Alabama should easily dispense with the "dead fish" Florida Gators in the SEC title game and the current #1 ranked Clemson Tigers are heavy favorites to defeat a one-loss North Carolina Tar Heel squad that has played the 79th toughest schedule in the FBS.

FBS LOGICAL Football Rankings agreed with the four teams the CFP selection committee chose to participate in the inaugural College Football Playoff of 2014 and this year is shaping up to be one with even less controversy than last year. A four-team playoff appears to have been an excellent decision for major college football. Conference championships are still extremely important and the postseason bracket is not being water-downed with undeserving teams. So far, no undefeated team has been left out and any team with at least one loss can only blame themselves.

If college football fans would embrace the reality that the regular season is part of the playoffs with each conference being a regional bracket and that the regular-season playoffs are essentially a double-elimination scheme for teams that play a challenging schedule and a single-elimination scheme for those teams with a weaker schedule, we could silence the calls for an eight-team playoff. The best system is one that allows for varying numbers of playoff teams each year, but despite the best efforts of FBS LOGICAL Football Rankings, those in power will never consider such an option. The four-team bracket is the optimal method since a standard playoff is the only alternative.

Baylor coach Art Briles publicly complained last year that the system was not fair to his Bears. However, he was the coach when they lost 41-27 to the unranked West Virginia Mountaineers. If your team loses a game, it may be the one that costs you the championship. For those who continue to proclaim that this is unjust, consider the 2007 New England Patriots and the 2015 Kentucky Wildcats' basketball team. Each team only lost one game and yet neither team was crowned champion.
