So back in the days of Camelot, when Kellen Moore was your QB, would you have been one of the 8? What I don't want to see is a team like that get left just on the outside. You guys were a handful back in those days and it would've been fun to see that bunch in the CFP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Maitlin Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Mark it 8, Dude. 5 P5 champs Highest G5 champ 2 At-Large Get rid of the committee and use a transparent bcs type formula to pick the at-large and G5 and to seed them. First round games at the top 4 teams Second Round games at a bowl site Championship in an NFL stadium including cold weather sites. 5 1 Quote SteelCityBlueNovember 24th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^I'm looking forward to a new head coach who isn't a cud-chewing autistic retard.

Do away with conference championships to give another week of play-offs. Nobody wants to see a 3 loss Pac South or B1G West team in the playoffs much less some 4 loss CUSA team. Not everybody gets a trophy or, in this case, a playoff berth. 2 1 Quote SteelCityBlueNovember 24th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^I'm looking forward to a new head coach who isn't a cud-chewing autistic retard.

Yeah, nobody wants to see the sh*thole they have now. They had to find a way to stack the deck, they couldn't just do it right from the beginning and now fan interest is in the dumps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvegas04 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 8 teams, top 8 teams get it no auto bids.. that would make scheduling matter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best in any given season there are only 1-2 G5 teams that belong in a national championship playoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestCowboy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Push for 16 and they might give us 8. Push for 8 and they might give us 6. You always ask for more than you want. I think 8 would be just about right and 16 too many. The one thing I absoultely don't want to see is 6 or 12 where the higher seeded teams get a first round bye. A bye is just too much of an advantage in college football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, Cinderella possibilities are half the fun. I've been saying 16 for over a decade. All 10 conference champs, best indy, 5 at-large. Play the CG on NYD. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so are people tuning out rather than watch a 7-5 Troy team march into Ohio Stadium to get a plunger shoved up their ass. The worst thing that could happen for the G5 is to be on the receiving end of a bunch of blowout losses. Put the best team in and see what happens and then go from there. 1 1 Quote SteelCityBlueNovember 24th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^I'm looking forward to a new head coach who isn't a cud-chewing autistic retard.

Nickp1991 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Come on Mike Leach, we all know the real reason there is not a 16 team playoff is because the corrupt NCAA has not figured out how to make the most profits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to pretend that student athletes put much emphasis on the student part, but a more prolonged playoff schedule does accommodate finals a little better. Also, I don't want one great CFB game on NYD. I want four. Play the elite 8 in the bowls on NYD, the final 4 a week later then a Monday night game for the big show. The first round can be staggered, it doesn't all have to happen the same weekend. It can, but it doesn't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Rebels Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The only way I can see 16 is if you take away the Conference Championship games and convert that week into the first round of the playoffs. And that's not happening since it makes so much money for the conferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with 8 will be not enough at large bids if you give an auto bid to top G5. 10 with teams 7 and 10 and 8 and 9 doing “play-in” games is the way to go.

Having all 10 FBI Champions get auto berths would go a long way to leveling the field - but, those who benefit from the current system have no interest in making it fair. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
