Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014 the powers that be claimed to have finally provided college football with a true playoff to determine a champion in the sport. ESPN, bowl committees, sports radio, and many pundits have extolled the new system. A careful and detailed examination of the new process, however, reveals that in reality very little has changed. The new system preserves the old organization, which ensured that only a few teams would ever be considered for the championship. It puts the Power Five leagues into the position of a closed shop, where no one outside their membership will ever be considered for the four slots the current college football playoff (CFP) allows. The other five leagues (known as the mid-majors) are a perpetual junior varsity that stands on the sidelines praying for a chance to stand briefly outside the shadow of the big guys, who pat them on the head occasionally.
