    never was and never will be a perfect playoff or championship format for college football. 12 should shut up anyone complaining about not getting in though at least. No need to go any bigger.

    I think keeping a bye format is a good idea as I could see teams really boringly managing the regular season as long as they can get into the field knowing they’re just gonna have to beat teams in the playoff either way.

    It should be 8 teams, max. Conference champs should not guarantee a top-4 seed

    As tim marches on, there will be more parody with NIL and boosters being able to cook. Not good for SEC SEC SEC. We will start seeing more competition in the higher seeded teams. Overall and for the future I like it.

    My dream is to host Sark or DeBoer at HS under rain laiden skies. Undertaker.gif

    The powers that be will eventually make it into a 32 team playoff. Too many games where the team that's actually the best will either have a fluke slip-up, a stud player gets injured, etc.

    Schools aren't giving up the home game revenue to balance out the number of games, either.

    Welcome to the 18 game future.

    Maybe that's the end game plan all along as the NCAA eventually cases or of the CFP and the schools do away with any actual academis requirements. ESPN turns it into an NFL competitor that they can control since the NFL is eventually going to move its programming to being exclusively available via their own streaming network.

    Games that matter in college football should be played in Sep/Oct/Nov, not late December. The pressure we felt last year to win (survive) every game was immense. As a PSU "fan" as well, there was no where near that pressure this year. Knew there were 2 mulligans. Even with close games to USC and Minnesota it was never a "if we don't win we're not going to the playoff" feeling. Heck after USC it was more a "well guess we clinched a playoff berth." This Orange Bowl will be the first game with real pressure (there was some in the first round and quarters but PSU jumped out early so wasn't much).

    The fans barely bothered to go to the Fiesta.

    At the same time, ratings were up across the board so I might be the grumpy one. I guess creating better TV content in Dec/Jan when the weather sucks in half the country is more lucrative than doing so in October. Fans will keep reducing their attendance but the ratings!!!!one11!!!!

    I am proponent of the old system and tie-ins, then a plus one, but that ship sailed.
