THE PLAYOFF SHOULD BE 8

I mean, it's really not that hard. This year for instance, it easily would have been Bama and Georgia for their season and their bowl games.RhythmicSlappingDawg said:
Yeah, why not have Jude and his counterparts decide who plays for the natty, right?Dennis_DeYoung said:
This is easily the case. Just have the bowls then do the current system on the final two.YellowSnow said:
Duh. Coors Banquet Beers kicks Bud's ass. The boy's are thirsty in Atlanta and there's (Coors Beer) in Texarkana and we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.Dennis_DeYoung said:
College football is easily the best sport in America because of its idiosyncrasies and regionality.YellowSnow said:I assure you Dennis that in an NFL hating competition, I can hold my own with anyone here. And there's a hell of a lot more than just(now diminished) Bowls which make CF a far better product than the NFL:
For example:
- Better tailgates
- Better Fans
- Better pageantry
- Better (non generic) stadiums
- More exciting games and varying schemes
- TBSing
- Try hard kids of all population groups playing for the love of the game and a free education
I can go on and on.
Pro football is a boring sport for people who like to get in heated debates about which corporate business is better than the other:
Nike vs. Adidas
Coors vs. Bud
McDonald's vs. Burger King
etc.
Look, I think your proposed solution has a lot of merit. Sometimes, my inner nihilist just says fuck it and go faggy NFL style, which would have some cool matchups that we don't normally get to see- e.g., #4 UW hosting #12 Okie Light in Seattle in 2016.
The best solution - which no one ever talks about - is to just play all the bowls, old timey style and all and have the AP vote #1 and #2 and have those teams play a game for those that care 2 weeks later. This is how we beat @creepycoug to win our undisputed NT in 1991. https://www.si.com/vault/1992/01/13/125776/the-dream-game-would-you-believe-it-washington-beat-miami-in-the-battle-of-two-no-1s
There is literally no good reason why to not do it this way...
When I was FUCKING NINE YEARS OLD... I said 'Mom, there should be a bowl called the Cherry Bowl (great idea, I admit) where the top two vote getters in the AP play and they should do it the week in before the Superb Owl when no one plays'.
FUCK THE WORLD. -

very close...
Just need to add a few small qualifiers:
1) requirement for no FCS (division 2 or whatever its called now) games
2) required minimum 9 conference games for the P5 teams
3) must play atleast one non conference P5 team to be eligible -
These are great additions. I would modify 1 to say 'must have 12 games non FCS'. The FCS stuff is different in different parts of the country, but in the South, a lot of programs make their whole nut for the year by playing up.Houhusky said:very close...

It would sabotage a lot of decent FCS schools to take away their ability to play one game 'up'. -
I like these, and will expand it...Houhusky said:very close...

The P5 needs to tell everyone to fuck off and hire a schedule maker. The idea of teams creating their own schedules is fucking stupid.
What I would do:
Make all 5 leagues have even number of teams (14)
Every school either plays a FCS (these games are crucial for a lot of FCS programs) or none do. I'd lean to every team plays one.
The schedule is rotating based on conference records/strength each year (strongest conference this year plays weakest the next year and rank it down, or some order) OR it's just rotated over a 6 year schedule (Pac v. SEC in 2017, PAC v. SEC in 2018, PAC v. BIG 2019). You play two teams from the opposing conference, one at home one away (based on records) and it flips the next year.
All teams go to 9 conference games.
Schedule would look like this for EVERYONE: FCS, P5 Home, P5 Away, 9 Conference games.
This would allow for fans to know what is happening with their schedule and get excited by it. "Oh shit, Alabama beat Georgia this week, that means if we win out, next year we will get Georgia at home!!! How cool!" -
Sounds realistic. When do we start to implement these changes and how can I help?CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Extend it to 8, but disagree with everything else. Discard all previous bowl ties. Why should the PAC 12 be forced to play a team from the BIG 10 in the first round every fucking year? Boring. Mix it up. Would rather see PAC teams face a wider variety of teams from other conferences in big games.
