If you admit that a one loss team's chances of making the playoffs have increased from 75% to 100%, then you're admitting that the regular season has been, at least somewhat, diminished. Also, from where are you getting the 75% number?

It was, but unusual situations seemed to be usual in the 4 team era. One loss teams got in; teams with better records were ignored.

Last year, the committee nuked the idea that regular season was the most important factor in the selection process.

That is the whole point, expanded playoffs took the regular season from a death battle to make the playoffs to a seeding battle. This shows a diminished importance. That was Newson’s point earlier.

Again, how valuable is a regular season if the best team and the 250th best team have the same opportunity to win the national title?

Why won’t you answer the question?

From his ass.

Last year 6 power conference teams finished with one or fewer losses. 33% of them didn’t make the playoffs.

I won't answer your question because it is such a flawed concept that nothing I say will change your mind. Playoff seeding matters. That's not even worth debating.

Of course, but that's never been the argument. The regular season got diminished when the national title was no longer decided by AP voters too.

My quick count.
Teams to make the playoffs from P4/P5 conferences with 1 loss: 22(not counting COVID year)
Teams to not make the playoffs from a P4/P5 conference with 1 loss: 9(10 if you count 13-0 FSU)

So, 70% may be more accurate.

Dude, you’re been arguing ad neasuem for the better part of two years that the expanded playoffs either (a) make the regular season more important or (b) no less important….

It made the games at the very top of the rankings less important but made many more games much more important. I'll show my work when the first CFP rankings are released instead of relying on projections which at least so far seem to be pretty far apart.

Let’s go to a 32 team playoff then, so many more games will be much more important.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants

Let's go back to when the national title was decided by voters deciding who played better in the bowl game against different opponents and then sometimes it would just have to be a tie.

Love to.

Unfortunately American sports have been playoff-itized.

Mizzou can’t just go 10-2 and recognize that was a great really fun season. Need to get their asses pounded by 35 against Ohio State in a playoff game to validate the season.

“We spend an inordinate amount of time on situations and some situations don't come up very often in college football, but this was obviously something we had worked on,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said Monday night. “You can see the result.”

Oregon took the lead with 1:47 left on Atticus Sappington’s 19-yard field goal in Saturday night's game, giving the Buckeyes time to drive down the field for a potential winning field goal. With Ohio State facing a third-and-25 from Oregon's 43-yard line, the Ducks called a timeout with 10 seconds left.

Just before the ball was snapped, Oregon defensive back Dontae Manning walked onto the field, giving the Ducks an extra defender. Ohio State failed to complete a pass against Oregon's 12-man defense on the next play, and the Ducks were flagged for an illegal substitution penalty.

Ohio State gained five yards on the penalty, but lost four seconds off the clock since the penalty was deemed a live-ball foul. The Buckeyes were left with six seconds on the clock, and quarterback Will Howard scrambled up the middle, sliding a second too late for Ohio State to call a timeout for a potential game-winning field goal at Oregon's 26.
