    The ONLY solution is a 64 team playoff with two play in games.

    I have 128. Everyone gets a shot. Plus it has round robin. Do you have round robin? I thought not.

    I like it except I think the 5 P5 champs should get spots 1-5, and then 3 at large get spots 6-8. There should be some reward to winning your conference championship game, which should be one of the spots at 5 or higher.

    If you are a fan of college football then an 8 team playoff is clearly the best solution. Every conference plays an 8 game conference schedule and the regular season is dialed back to 11 games. This allows you three out of conference games
    with absolutely no pressure to win or lose because they would have somewhat limited input into whether you make the 8 team playoff. Imagine the UW actually getting back to an A-B-C schedule where we as fans wouldn't have to watch North Dakota or Eastern Washington. Our schedule could be Michigan, OK State and Minnesota. Go 0 and 3 and it doesn't matter because you can still make the playoff by winning your conference. Screw this bullshit regular season patsy scheduling that you have to do now to improve your chances of being selected to a final four.

    The problem is that our sport is being ruined my mouth breathing, booger eating, NFL losers. The old Bowl system was fine. All that needed to happen was the AP #1 and AP #2 (or by some selection committee) play 2 weeks later in the @Dennis_DeYoung Cherry Bowl. When we gave up the Rose Bowl we ceded a huge amount of power and prestige to the SEC. Before the BCS the Rose paid out double that of the Orange or Sugar.

    Don't agree. Winning matters. Full stop. Win and you're in. We don't need to keep trying to overcome long standing biases from old men in conference rooms. Win and there's no discussion. You can always get blown out in the final eight but at least you earned the right to be there. This ain't hard. Settle it on the field.

    Either go back to the old traditional bowls or have real playoffs. The problem is that hybrid structures are unsatisfying. The bowls as they stand now are virtually all semi-interesting but usually not worthwhile non conference games. A real playoff would be much, much more fun, but less money probably.

    We're either going to get a playoff with enough teams so it won't matter getting rid of the bowl games

    But then the champ and runner up will play 4-6 games to win it

    So the non play off teams play an 8 game schedule and like it?

    It's fucked up. Let college ball be college ball and watch your 9-7 team lose in the wild card and fuck off

    Almost. Leach''s plan is to play 10 games then seed 64. Those who don't get in get 2 more games vs other dreck. The remainder playoff with the higher seed hosting to ensure big crowds.
