Yeah, I definitely agree with you!
And this season has shown that there are at least 6 teams, which are nearly at the same level.

Look at Wisconsin - they went 12-1 and don't have the chance to compete for National Championship? Are you kidding me? How is it possible?

Or Auburn, who has two top-seed upsets in a single season? They can be a real force!

And J.T.Barrett - he looks good in big games and can compete at that level.

And one more reason - 1st round 8-team college playoffs can be played in the middle of December, so there won't be such a long pause in the Elite division of College Football.
