Pac 10 again? You crybabies just might get your round robin schedule back.

I agree with you 100%. Because of this, I'd like to see the Pac-12 flip the script and go 10 conference games plus 1 P5 ooc. I think it would be tough to keep a 2 loss team out. Force the issue. How could anyone NOT look at a 10 game conference schedule as an absolute meat grinder, cannibalizing fight to the death. How do you keep that champ out? I think it would work. Fuck that, go 11 conference games.RoadDawg55 said:
I’m always annoyed that people pretend strength of schedule actually matters. No matter how hard your schedule is, if a team loses two games, they aren’t making the playoff.RaceBannon said:

Yeah we'll have to wait a few years but the prevailing trend is towards an 8 team playoff. That means win the PAC 8 or PAC 10 and you are in even with 3 or 4 losses. Imagine being able to schedule tough again out of conference because it will all come down to winning your conference. Schedule might even drop back to 11 regular season games to accomodate the extra playoff round. In a PAC 8 you could have a round robin conference schedule and 4 OOC games based on A-B-C-C opponents. A boon for the fans who dont want to see North Dakota or Portland State anymore.89ute said:

We used to do 4 non cons a year and had awesome schedules
Even the SEC wants P 5 match ups now

The SEC plays 8 conf but many have a permanent rivalry match-up with a non con P5, like Florida - Florida St.
Same with the ACC plus 5 teams play Notre Dame.
It would be tough for 8 teams to try to beef up their schedules to match the other P5s where most already play 9-10 P5s as it is.
You can kiss the playoffs good buy along with all the top west coast recruits. (already happening)
Pac 8 would be the WAC!
The BCS and the playoffs are killing college football
I already think that the Pac-12 is the most entertaining of all the conferences, this would bring it to the forefront. -

Get rid of the playoffs or go to 8. Football was better before when we didn't have to listen to hot takes in September that the Pac 12 is out of the playoffs
I'd rather see great inter sectional games during the season

You have to get fans back in the stadiums. Scheduling in the last ten or so years has trended away from the big intersectional rivalries just because teams didn't want to risk a loss and jeopardize playoff hopes. Guaranteeing conference champs a spot takes the fear factor out of OOC scheduling. Give people a reason to attend by attractive matchups and decent start times and you've solved 90% of the fan attendance problem. College football is also missing out on at least one playoff round of "March Madness" by limiting the field to four teams. Give that number 8 seed, this year Oregon or Utah, a crack at Bama in the first round. I don't see any downside to it.

Disagree. Football officially began in 1998 with the BCS. Teams finally had to WIN championships instead of claiming them or being voted champion. The Playoffs upped the ante and made college football even better. On the flip side, it watered down the relevance of the voted titles of the past.RaceBannon said:

It's pretty simple. Win all of your games plus the conference championship and you're in. Drop one and win the conference championship and most seasons you will get in, unless there is a crappy Notre Dame team in the mix. If you lose two games or more, no one wants to see you in the playoff competition anyway. So it works.chuck said:

I'm mainly sick of the need to go undefeated. College football is the only big time sport where there's such pressure to win every game just to be in the conversation at the end. The best teams in the NFLdrop a game or few with extremely rare exceptions. The only undefeated NFL team of my lifetime wasnt the best team at the end. Wild card teams have dominated the playoffs and even won the super bowl. Dominant NBA teams win about 7/8 games, equivalent to 14-2. In the majors it's about 5/8 or 10-6.
Shrink the conferences back down, give everyone 7 conference and four nonconference games, and expand the playoff and there would be no reason for the big time programs not to play each other.
I think the fix is relatively simple and everyone would benefit. -

I’ve been saying it for years... One game per season allowed against a non P5 team. 8 team playoff would help too. @whuggy made a great point that it would solve some non conference issues. Teams wouldn’t be deathly afraid of losing an OOC game.
