Topic: SI.COM: Worst-case scenarios for Year 1 of the College Football Playoff

[biggreenarms]

Now that the College Football Playoff is actually a real thing, we have to deal with the consequences of the College Football Playoff being an actual, real thing. The BCS seemed like a pretty good idea at the time, and everyone remembers how angry and upset people got over that.

The thing about incremental change is sometimes it’s easy to pull one of those Men In Black pens out, wave it around, and brainwash everyone into forgetting how bad it was before. Just as soon as there’s one controversy, some critics will blame the playoff, declare it a failure, grab their slappin’ gloves and demand satisfaction.

There’s an old practice where you expect the worst so you can prepare for any and all results. So in anticipation of the College Football Playoff, here are three apocalyptic scenarios fans and the playoff committee might have to deal with that would make for an especially unsmooth first year.

The Non-Power Five Gambit

Saw this earlier. Far fetched. But we will see how it plays out. No way ucf does better than 3-2 in their first 5 games imo.
