What are your thoughts on the new 12-team playoff system?

Huh?
Smart teams will realize that going 14-0 isn't the goal. Winning the playoffs is. And that's too bad since the pressure to go unbeaten as @whlinder said is what made college football different
When the Pats went 18-0 (1) that was the last time anyone in the NFL tried. Look at the Chefs this year.
Pats lost the Super Bowl to a team that finished the regular season 9-7

I hate it and want the old bowl system back
The world of 2025 sucks. I want to live in 1991 again, even if that means I can't have e-pals.

Oregon lost in 1 quarter. It worked for me.

Huh?
They had to evacuate the Rose Bowl

I'm currently lukewarm
NFL wants the Chiefs to win. That's pretty obvious. Record number of one score game wins in a row, and they're among bottom feeders like the Giants and Cheatriots in that they have the fewest 30 point games or something. Rigged! Take it to the NFL Bored nobody goes to.

The good: more football
The bad: loser talk from loser schools who think they can get in the playoffs with 3+ losses

Huh?
The first round games are almost always going to blow with this system…fixing the top 4 seeding will probably help some just because it will eventually force some SEC team to have to go play on Boise’s blue turf or something but it’s too many teams.

agree but 2024 was a special bag of weak shit and Oregon still figure out how to fuck it all up.

Needs to start earlier
True top 4 seeds based off ranking get a home playoff game after the 5-12 duke it out.
Then the final four commence into the bowls like the old playoffs.
This puts a premium on top 4, making regular season somewhat important, gives better first round games (removes juggernauts vs sisters of the poor), then you gotta go on the road and take one out to get to the final 4.
