Part of the Big Ten's issue with the CFP system is a belief that the selection committee has an impossible job that will only get more difficult as the SEC and ACC transition to nine-game conference schedules this year. With an increase in two- and three-loss teams expected, the committee will have a tougher task evaluating those records against the opponents they've played.
Maybe they should guarantee more than one team per conference if all conferences go to 9 games, the playoffs expand, and they get rid of conference championship games.
But this line once again brings up the frustration of the Pac-12 having sabotaged itself by playing a nine-game conference schedule when the SEC and ACC played only eight.
