A chance? Well sure. Every team could have a ‘chance’. But we’re talking Dumb and Dumber odds here. So what you wanna do. Put every team in FBS (120 approx.) in one giant college football playoff that goes on for 6 months to determine a champion? That way everyone got a chance. That’s reeruned thinking.
Hell, while we’re at it, let’s just expand the NCAA Tourney to 363 teams, give them all a ‘chance’ and that way every one can feel good about their participation trophy and the fact they got a shot to play for a Natty. Nevermind the fact that 85 to 90 percent of them didn’t even deserve that chance in the first place. I mean, it’s dumb enough now that college basketball basically allows about 20% of their teams into the post season tourney with a ‘chance’ to play for a Natty.
I mean, I get WHY they do it ($$$$$$), but it’s still stupid.

Wait, you’re saying that any team outside of the four in the playoff would have extremely low odds? Are you serious? Did you forget that Alabama didn’t make it? All because they lost to a good team on the road by 1 point in OT.
TCU finished with a great record but they don’t scare me any more than a handful of other Big 12 teams right now. They had the benefit of playing a weak non-con and barely escaped in several games. And they just lost to K-State. Who’s to say that K-State wouldn’t have a better chance of advancing in the playoff?
Every year there’s controversy regarding teams that didn’t make the cut. It’s ridiculous to act like all the other teams face astronomical odds.
