    You guys who compare wanting a playoff to waiting to turn this into the NFL are hilarious. Literally every other team sport has some sort of a playoff to determine a true champion. All of them. Including every other division of college football. You don't have to love the nFL to want a playoff, you just have to love sports.

    I get that you guys are college football purists and that's cute and all but the past is for doogs and you're all living in it.

    This. The players don't give a shit about the bowls any more. College football as we knew it is dead. Expand the playoffs to 6 or 8 and just get rid of the bowls. Power five champs qualify with the rest at large.

    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.
    My play in games have a gun in the middle of the field that nobody is allowed to touch. Beat that you dumb bitch.

    95% of bowl games never meant anything, even pre-playoff.

    It’s a really complicated issue. But somehow the FCS came up with something. I’m not sure how they figured it out, but it’s genius.

    I'd also like to see about half the bowls disappear. They're stupid. I'd like to get back to a time when you could say, "hey, fuck you. we played 8 bowl teams last year" and have that mean something of an indication that you played good teams.

    Forgot the one-tie Cotton in the above list.

    Limit bowls to Rose, Orange, Sugar, Cotton, Fiesta, Peach, Holiday, Sun, and maybe one more. I know it's new and that Miami just "played" in it (if that's what you can call it), but the Pinstripe (stupid name) bowl is interesting in that it involves the Big Apple in bowl season. Cool place to go, and they actually make Yankee stadium work well for the game.

    But all these other shit bowls should just go away.

    But they won't.

    I think I mentioned this in another thread but I DGAF about how the playoffs are structured right now because of how poorly regular seasons are being handled. With the SEC and ACC playing fewer in conference games than the Big 12, Pac-12 and Big Ten, the BAMAs, Georgias, and Clemsons of the world are always going to be stacking the deck in their favor regardless of if we keep the existing 4 game playoff, go to a 8 team playoff, or return to the traditional bowl system.

    Of course no one in a position to change this will do anything about it because they’re getting richly paid (hi Larry!), and seem happy with getting the chance to *maybe* beat Saban every few years.
