[QUOTE="Scioto, post: 4530520, member: 12310"] You can make a calculation that says anything. For example, now 4 years of the CFP and in 2 of the 4 playoffs, or 50% of the time, a CCG winner hasn't gotten into the playoff. Alternatively, there have been 17 CCGs since 2014 (4 for three years and 5 this year with the Big 12 started their CCG). In those years, a CCG winner did not make the playoffs out of the 17 games a total of 5 times (PAC 12 champ in 2015; Big Ten champ (and Big 12 wouldn't have mattered) in 2016; and PAC 12 and Big Ten in 2017). So, of the 17 CCGs played 2014-2017, roughly 30% of the time winning doesn't matter, but more importantly losing the game 100% disqualifies the team from the playoffs. There's simply more downside than upside to playing in a CCG. If are to have them, and I think they are good for college football, then have winning be an automatic bid. It is in NCAA basketball.
