I hate that there is nothing to hate right now.
I hate that the Hate Thread was on page 3.

There's no perfect solution. Expand to 8 teams, and Teams 9 and 10 will complain that they didn't get in.I hate conference title games in CFB. why bother playing them? it didn't matter this year- Alabama could have lost and would have still been the #1 seed in the playoff. Penn St won their division, conference and head-to-head vs Ohio St and didn't get in. get rid of the conference title games and expand to 8 teams. give an auto bid to the Power 5 conference winners, the best team from Group of Six and two at-large bids. who isn't going to watch those games?

Remember when TCU and Baylor were hiring PR firms to pressure the committee the first year of the playoff? Imagine the shitshow that would commence at the 9/10 spot where it's an even muddier picture than the border of 4/5. Plus let's be real, the conference title games usually mean a decent amount, this year just happened to have the perfect storm of a scenario play out in the Big Ten East. I don't think anyone actually thinks that Penn State brings more to the playoff than Ohio StateThere's no perfect solution.

It's never been this bad though. This is three teams in the same division of the same conference all beating each other. This wouldn't have been as hard had one of the three been in the Big 10 West. The Big 12 shoots itself by not having a conference championship so they can quit bitching until they fix that. Although that conference will be dead in a few years anyways.That sh1tshow happens almost every year somewhere, though. It's been the SEC a few years, the Big 12, Big 10.
I say go big and inclusive. 16 teams: 1 auto-bid from each of the 10 conferences (yes even the WAC and Sun Belt) and then 6 at-large teams. The playoffs could start December 16 and run every Saturday until January 6. It would be amazing.
I hate that movies that haven't even come out in theaters are eligible for Golden Globe and Oscars.
I hate that the state of PA has no plans to I-81 north of Harrisburg. I-81 and I-83 merge from 4 lanes to 2 and they wonder why there is always a backup until I-81 splits with I-78 about 10 miles to the north. there is plenty of room to add another lane each way.
I hate losing to vcu at home
