Except one of the conference winners will probably be 9-4 because of a title game upset.Tequilla said:It's really too early to tell ... Alabama's basically already assumed to be in but 4 of their 5 most difficult games are on the road.
There's a good chance that this is the year of absolute carnage and drives home the all conference winners need to be in the playoff discussion. -

I don't care if a team is 9-4 ... I would rather the instance where that team is in and has to win 3 games versus the present scenario where a conference champ is arbitrarily chosen as being out and not given the chance on the fieldTierbsHsotBoobs said:

If you want all conference champs, you have to go to at least a 12 team playoff.Tequilla said:

I'm ok with that. -
16 is the correct number. Every conference champ gets in, plus what, 5 at large teams. Seed them and play it out.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

I'm ok with that.
The lower divisions get this right. Unfortunately the FBS is too tied to the dreckfest bowel system to do what's right. In that event, this is the best system. 8 fixes nothing IMO. -

16 is too many IMO because it devalues the regular season. I'm not entirely sure about 12 for the same reasons.
Here's how I see 8:
5 conference winners = automatic bids
1 non Power 5 = automatic bid
2 at large bids --> covers any independents like Notre Dame assuming that they stay out of full fledge ACC membership
You could argue that by keeping only 1 bid for the non-power 5 that that's limiting but you'd have very few instances IMO where you can make an argument for 2. It also will encourage top end non-power 5 teams to actually test themselves in the non-conference to increase their quality of schedule ... that's good for college football IMO. In the few instances where you do have two top end non power 5 teams (take the year that Boise and TCU played in the Fiesta Bowl), they will be covered by the remaining at large bids. Likwise, it will encourage teams to pay less attention to these shit non-conference games and instead focusing on increasing the quality of their opposition to help differentiate themselves. -
Notre Dame won't make the playoff. Hth.puppylove_sugarsteel said:
Doesnt necessarily mean THIS year. Means every year until we move to 6 or 8 teams. im more worried about next year. But if you think ND is out of playoff this year u b kinda dumb. Oh, also a little early to call anything in the big12.RoadDawg55 said:
