Contest Brief

This year, another edition of the CFP will consist of the top 4 college football teams in the nation playing 2 semifinal games and 1 final game. We think that this format sucks for various reasons, so we are here to find a better format.
Please, write a long article about a "College Football Playoff" format that improves upon the current top 4-team playoff. To be eligible to win this contest, your article must:
1) be 5,000 words or longer
and
2) argue for why (at least) all Power Five conference winners should be in the playoff.
Everything else(for example, the number of wildcard spots) is up to you.
Good luck!

Contest Holder,

Would it be possible for you to move the deadline back by a week (12/1 -> 12/8)?

  We may extend the contest, if there are no good entries by 12/1.

  If you can, that’d be great; but if you can’t for whatever reason, I’d understand.
  
  I read a book over the weekend that coincidentally discussed in one of the chapters the flaws associated with the current college football playoff format; and I picked up a few additional sources just yesterday; but I won’t be able to go through the later source material until after 12/1.
  
  Nevertheless, thanks for responding back to my message.
