    I'm 81% sure I did. People that said they could just incorporate the bowls into a playoff can suck it. There is no abundance here. One or the other.

    Is anybody going to miss a 5th rate credit card and a 6th rate snack sponsoring a football game?

    +1

    They couldn't get Amex, Mastercard, or Visa? Or a higher end sponsor?

    Good. I hate sponsors ruining the names of these bowl games.

    Thank God the playoffs told Chik-fil-A to rename their bowl the Peach Bowl instead of the Chik-fil-A bowl. What a retarded name. Now they just need to change the names of the Capital One Bowl back to the Citrus (or Tangerine) Bowl, the TaxSlayer Bowl back to the Gator Bowl and the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl back to the Copper Bowl.

    Then again, they might not. Sounds like it will be interesting either way. Stay tuned ;)

    It will, but it's going to be a playoff game. It will no longer be a Big 10/ Pac 12 matchup.

    a 16 team playoff

    what a fucking dreckfest

    16 teams should not be playing for a fucking national championship. If that happened last year, here's the shitty ass schedule that we would've seen:

    1 Florida State
    2 Ohio State
    3 Auburn
    4 Alabama
    5 Missouri
    6 Oklahoma State
    7 Stanford
    8 South Carolina
    9 Baylor
    10 Michigan State
    11 Arizona State
    12 Oregon
    13 Clemson
    14 Northern Illinois
    15 LSU
    16 UCF

    Yeah, I can name 12 teams there that don't deserve to be playing for the national championship. Hell, even 8 looks shitty.

    If any of them win four straight against the rest of that field they'd deserve the title.

    See the NCAA tournament for details.

    Hell, check any playoff anywhere. You let more in the field than deserve to be there so nobody has a legit gripe that they could have won the title. In hoops (which admittedly got too big with the move from 64 to 68) nobody complains about "we could have won the championship" they just complain "we should have made the tournament". That's the right level of controversy. What we have had with the 2 team playoff and legitimate championship caliber teams on the outside looking in is FS.

    I'll be thrilled with an 8 team playoff, but Damone's right it's headed to 16, and the bowels will die. And in the process, we'll have a REAL national champion for once.

    No...it won't. It won't have the sponsorship or the attendance by the fans. The only way it survives would be in name only as a bowl given to teams that do not make the playoff. They playoff games will eventually be held at one of the school's stadiums. There. Would be no way in a 16 team playoff all of the games will be part of the bowl system at neutral sites. That's where it will go. Do you really think teams will go to Pasadena for 10 days to participate in the activities surrounding the rosebowl? Or fans will make a vacation out of it when they have 3 playoff games to go to and are holding out to make the championship game? Look to the FCS as the model. That's the only way it will work and that's where it is heading. People that think the bowl will continue as is as part of a playoff system are fucking stupid.
    I want the 16 team playoff to happen, but I'll believe it when I see it. I could also see the final 4 teams still playing at neutral sites after the first two rounds are at the higher seed's home field. It won't be the same, but they will try to keep the Rose Bowl around, even if it is in name only, and sponsors will still line up. The NCAA will attempt at trying to pretend they care about the traditions. The sponsors on the other hand only care about money, they don't give a fuck about tradition. Sponsors will line up to give their money to a semifinal NCAA football game. It's tough to really predict with the NCAA. They are morons and they are led by Mark Emmert. Nuff said on that.

    an 8 team to me seems best.
    All the big 5 conference champions (I don't count the big least) and 3 more at larges. Higher seed gets the home game and seeding is based off of BCS standings.
    Hell you could even add 4 more at larges to make 7 and give the top 4 seeds a first round bye.
    8 or 12 is the best way to go imo

    It will take a few more years, but they will get to 16 teams. The Rose Bowl will exist and it might be between the pac-12 and B1G-10 (lol) teams that didn't make the playoffs. Sponsors won't be willing to pay what they pay now because the ratings will be low.

    The playoff games won't be part of the bowls at neutral sites. That's not feasible for fans or the teams. No sport does that.

    Play the first two rounds at campus sites, play the semifinals and championship at neutral sites. In a perfect world, the last three games would rotate between Pasadena, Arlington, and New Orleans, but the conference commissioners will fuck that up because money.

    Just have a playoff or don't. Trying to fit bowls into isn't abundance, it's fucktarded and will eventually fall away. They might try for a couple of years, then no one will give a shit anymore and they just go away. Like most things that are the outrage of the day, the eventually don't have legs and won't stand.
    We've had a playoff for 16 years, you know.

    If we're gonna scrap the bowls and have a playoff, why not institute promotion/relegation? It could have saved us a lot of trouble in 2008.
