While the College Football Playoff has been in existence for more than half a decade, if you ask any subset of fans, they’ll have various opinions of whether the system is effective or not. Some call for an expansion of the field from 4 to 8 teams, while others feel that while 4 teams may be good, the whole selection process in its current form should be revamped.

For FOX college football analyst Joel Klatt, there’s one solution, and it involves…a return to computer rankings?

Well, not completely, but rather a mix between computer rankings and multiple human committees.

“The BCS had the right model in terms of number of variables (because) we included computer polls and human polls,” he said. “Now, were the human polls good? No, because they started in the preseason…I think a combination of the two. If we had three committees and a computer – or two sets of computers – that gave us a composite and we averaged the three – or five – rankings out, I think the Playoff Committees would be even better than the BCS. But there’s no doubt one Committee with 13 people with recusals is a flawed system from the start.”

Klatt’s opinion surely won’t be the last one we hear. And as the years go on with the Playoff in its current form, it remains to be seen what the ultimate mitigating factor will be that leads to a potential change.
