Silver lining is, at least we saved this season for the 4 team playoff

The 12 team playoff is going to reinvigorate this sport. It is going to be pandemonium when the lower seeds make a run, which will happen.

    It's what made DIV 1 college football unique
    Unique in the sense that at the end of the year there are usually 4 or 5 teams that are absolutely fucked.

    I do prefer what we had prior to the 4 team playoff, to the 4 team playoff. But there is no going back now and a 12 team playoff will be phenomenal.

    The 12 team playoff is going to be amazing. Bowls are dead because kids sit out. When you have kids sitting out of the Rose Bowl, the system is done. You cant make the argument that bowls mean as much as they did 30 years ago, because they just don’t. The BCS started the death of the bowls because it diminished the importance of everything outside the championship game, which then got expanded to the playoff. At this point, there’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tube, so they might as well move forward. I can’t remember who brought it up on the announcement show, but he made the point that now, no one on the top 12 teams is going to be sitting out their final game, which is great for the sport.

    And I will add, it's possible that the playoff will be fun. I'm not sure. But tradition is being sacrificed for a money grab, and the Rose Bowl will lose all remaining meaning it had. So it's sad or at least bittersweet.

    If you're honest the rose bowl has been dead for awhile.

    The tradition is done, Rose Bowl just got punked by the powers that be in the playoff negotiation. They Were basically told we'll give you nothing and if you don't get in by tomorrow you're out and the Rose caved because the machine is in control now.

    I think the 12 team is a necessary fix. Reducing the number of meaningful, post season games to threw, while still trotting out a full array of bowls that nobody, not even the players, cares about was a costly mistake. I don't know how the 12 team format looks, but no matter what it creates about 10 games that have high stakes. Players won't sit out. People will watch.

    Can't wait for players to sit out of playoff games

    And CCGs if they keep the now meaningless games

    We didn't get a bye so God told me to get ready for the draft. Please respect my decision

    Tradition was flawed.

    What’s a lower seed?

    It’s going to happen but only because putting only conference winners in the top 4 ensures some good SEC teams will smash their first round opponent and then the below average conference champ.

    Ohio State would be seeded #6 this year. Clemson #3. Beating up USC and then Clemson would count as a run for tOSU to make the semis.

    Pandemonium? Like we say, no.

    Disagree. Upsets will happen because just like this year, there will be some 10-2, 10-3, 9-3 teams that will get hot at the right time

    I thought he was saying I wanted the Alamo Bowl to happen, not a 12 game playoff.

    Upon further reflection I apologize @GrundleStiltzkin

    The 12 game playoff may or may not be better than the pre playoff status quo. IMO it is markedly better than the 4 team playoff.
