The single-minded media focus on the playoff is awful right now - just see the "here's how Bama can still make playoff" stuff as the LSU game was ending. Or the three million articles about the same 5-6 teams starting in July, or even in mid January.
If they can come up with a playoff that makes sense and doesn't continue to worsen the gap between the top teams and everyone else, then give us that. Fix the ridiculous scheduling differences between conferences while they're at it.
Otherwise, give us the bowl system. -

When I was in my mid teens, there were 14-15 bowl games. That felt about right.1to392831weretaken said:I would only go back to bowls-only if there weren't 724 bowls and if FCS wins didn't count toward bowl eligibility.

Current “playoff” is worse than past bowl system
A better playoff system is better than past bowl system
5 auto bids; one from each conference winner
6 play-in teams (3 games) determined by highest ranking that didn’t win conference championship game or are from non P5 or independent.
Play-in games at higher rank home field.
After play-in games to an 8 team playoff
Round of 8: home field of higher seeded team
Round of 4: bowl game site
Championship: bowl game site
All P5 conference must have championship game
All P5 teams must play at least 9 conference and 2 OOC games
All P5 teams must play at least one OOC game against another P5 opponent
No games against div2/fcs opponents will count
Or just go full commie soccer relegation mode -

Not just run by ESPN but they own most of the shitty bowl games. Part of the explosion of bowl games is because ESPN needed more material.joeEDangerously said:This current system is essentially ran by ESPN. Too corrupt
In summary and as always, fuck ESPN with a rusty cheese grater.

Yes, I liked it the way it was before the BCS and playoff formatI'd do a hybrid in which the top two teams play a week after NYD.
The playoff lost me when two SEC teams played each other. Again. -
No, I like what they're trying to do to crown a true champion with a playoffI go back and forth. The new BCS meant more good, meaningful games so I miss it.
On the other hand I want 1991 Miami.
If they can't come up with a playoff format that involves more teams and games, approximately equaling the number of traditionally good bowl games, then I'd prefer going back.
