    The playoff is an abomination. 4 teams? 12 teams? 16 teams? Kill it all with fire.

    It’s not an option sadly. I’d gladly return to the old ways. Barring that, 12 is better than 4 which is killing the sport.

    My mind isn't made up, but I lean the same way.

    I dont want to devalue regular season games, BUT, diminishing the fear of a single loss could lead to better regular season matchups. The need to go 12-0 with a +40 margin of victory makes college football pretty boring for me. Maybe that's why I pay more attention to dumb shit like recruiting and roster battles than final scores these days.

    I miss the bowl games with the season ending on Jan 1. But I realize that those are never, ever coming back the way they were

    The best part about the proposal is getting on-campus playoff games, IMO. Will bring a special kind of electric energy to those 1st round games. And the games should actually be good because the skullfucker elite teams will have byes. It’ll also lead to a lot of good matchups that would never happen otherwise because the OOC scheduling system is so broken

    Playoff + CTE = no CFB in 20 years

    I’d be 100% ok with ending the charade of neutral site games and make all games on campus until the National Championship Game ... which takes on more of a Super Bowl feel

    If 9-3 Alamo participants are given automatic bids, I could probably get behind it. @PostGameOrangeSlices

    Gotta beat Sark in the Alamo to get to 10 wins.

    Its the script
