BETTER COLLEGE FOOTBALL — ONE-MINUTE READER CHECK
Protocol v1.0 — October 8, 2026
Blank worksheet: no reader results have been recorded.

Recruit five people who have not read the proposal. Obtain permission to record
their answers. Do not publish names or quotations without separate consent.
This is a usability check, not a representative survey or endorsement measure.

For each reader, use an anonymous ID (1–5):
Reader ID:
Date and page version:
Device and viewport:
Previously familiar with the proposal? (If yes, recruit another reader.)

Open https://bettercollegefootball.com/playoff#one-minute for one minute.
Hide the page. Ask without coaching:

1. How many teams qualify?
Exact answer:
Correct / partial / mistaken:

2. What does skipping two rounds mean? Can championship protection change
   who receives that benefit?
Exact answer:
Correct / partial / mistaken:

3. What happens to an upset winner's rank? When are opponents paired again?
Exact answer:
Correct / partial / mistaken:

4. Is this the current CFP system or a proposal?
Exact answer:
Correct / partial / mistaken:

Observed confusing wording or navigation:
Proposed correction:

Facilitator reference, not shown before answers:
18 entrants; two teams skip two rounds and enter in the quarterfinals;
championship-path protection can change the recipients without changing
final underlying rank; reseed after the opening round and after bowl weekend,
then lock the bracket; this is a proposal, not the current CFP format.

After all five: report correct/partial/mistaken counts out of five for each
question, record misunderstandings, revise, and retest with new readers.
Do not call a liking score proof of comprehension or public support.
