Going forward each game (P5 only, non-P5 is Pee Wee football) will be observed in person by 5 judges. Each judge will rate the performance of both teams on a scale of 1-10 in 0.5 point increments. The judge's scoring will be shown on the stadium's jumbotron 15 minutes after the conclusion of each game and will be knows as "the judgment" (brought to you by Dr. Pepper). During the 15 minute period between the conclusion of the game and the Dr. Pepper judgment, universities are free to hold sponsored in-stadium events such as concerts and other activities designed to make money improve the fan's game day experience. 3 times per day (upon the conclusion of noon, 3:30, and primetime games), all in-stadium judgments will be broadcast nationally on ESPN (brought to you by Coca-Cola).

Upon the unveiling of the judges scoring, the high and the low score for each team will be thrown out. The remaining 3 scores will be averaged and those points will be awarded to each team. The winning team is the team with the highest points received during the Dr. Pepper judgment which may or may not be reflective of the points scored during the game. Due to this change in scoring, in-game points will henceforth be known as "prehistoric points" (brought to you by AT&T). Effective immediately, "judgment points" (brought to you by Verizon) will be the true measurement of a team's performance.

Each week the CFP committee will add up each team's Verizon judgment points to create a top 25 ranking. The committee then has an opportunity to manipulate correct prior judge scoring, allowing for ambiguous more accurate seeding and to ensure that only the highest revenue generating best teams are able to compete for the championship. Upon completion of the CFP committee corrections (the CFPCC) the weekly top 25 (brought to you by Capital One) will be broadcast to the public and media during the weekly "Reaping." (brought to you by Pizza Hut). The 4 playoff teams will be those in the top 4 of the final Capital One top 25 rankings.

Teams that do not quality for the top 4 will all be permitted to participate in a bowl game, the 6 wins requirement has been eliminated. Postseason games will continue under the current scoring system and will use AT&T prehistoric points for determining the winner. To promote fairness, all bowl teams, win or lose, will be awarded a bowl participation trophy (brought to you by the individual bowl game sponsors).

The 4 playoff teams will also compete on the field using AT&T prehistoric points. This will ensure that all games are settled on the field and a true, undisputed national champion can be crowned in a fair and impartial manner. The winner of the playoff will be awarded the national championship trophy (brought to you by Chik Fil A). The losing playoff teams will be celebrated for their tremendous achievements as well, by each being awarded a Verizon judgment points trophy.

Best of luck to all teams!

Much to like here, except the shot at non-P5 schools.

In essence, this approach allows an 0-12 Michigan or Ohio State to play in the playoffs, which are now a beauty contest. Let's say my dream comes true ;) and Michigan loses each game in heartbreaking fashion in OT. But man, do they ever look great in each game and if not for the refs/weather/etc. They woulda been 12-0. But no matter. They are the best 0-12 team ever, and better than 99.9% of 12-0 teams in history. Put them in the playoffs and have at it. The revenue would go solving world hunger, as the beauty contestants have wished.
 
8 team playoff.

-->5 P5 Conference Champs (seeded 1-6 based on ranking)
-->1 Top Non-P5 Ranked team (seeded 1-6 based on ranking)
--> 2 Wildcards (seeded 7-8 based on ranking)

First Round played at home stadium of higher seed
Second/Third Round played at bowl location.
