    how poorly regular seasons are being handled.

    How dare you... HOW DARE YOU! I love that one of my 6 home games at Husky Stadium celebrates local colleges to the likes of Portland State and Eastern Washington.

    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.
    95% of bowl games never meant anything, even pre-playoff.
    They never meant anything but the teams in the bigger games were always trying to win. But I understand for some of us football was invented in 1994 and bowls were already starting to get watered down at that point.

    Bowl games outside the playoff are dead. If the non power 5 teams still want to do them fine but it's trending more toward an exhibition game that shouldn't count on the record.

    The biggest issues in CFP right now are locations of where talent concentrated and the money within the programs and conferences

    Right now the money and talentvall reside in the hands of the SEC

    The $$$ part is undeniable

    The talent is more debatable ... but a huge issue in the P12 right now is losing elite players outside of our geographical footprint

    My solution?

    Enlist one of comedy’s great ‘coaches’ or ‘fans’ to star in a digital series that addresses the challenges of selecting teams to play in a college football playoff

    I would invest in this idea, you?

    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.
    In mine the gun has a single bullet and replays are settled by Russian roulette.

    Look if we’re gonna go this route, then we need to take the 32 best programs in college and create a super division with like say 4 conferences of 8 teams. 7 conference games every year + 4 out of conference games against good teams ever year (2 home and 2 road). Make a neutral scheduling committee if need be. If we are going to go NFL with college football then I only want to watch good teams. I want Bama or Clempson to have to come to Seattle for a regular season game that counts in the win/loss standings.
    Well yes everything you just said needs to happen. I'm even fine with the 64 team (four 16 team conference with two divisions each) idea where you play 7 from your division, 2 from the other division and 3 non conference per year. But yes the way non conference scheduling is done is a huge issue in college football, as is the fact different conferences don't play the same amount of conference games.

    The playing field needs to be leveled for sure.

    Honestly everything you said would be an improvement with or without going to an 8 team playoff. Even the plus one model would be improved in this scenario.

    If you expand the playoff, you can kiss the PAC 12 going to the Rose Bowl good bye.

    It sounds like He wants to open some sort of TBS relocation program.
