NCAA Playoffs - how it should be

Hang on about 5-10 years and you'll get your wish.

I've always supported an 8 team for the playoff

frick that noise.

I don't want college football to look like the NFL. I don't want to de-emphasize the regular season in any way.

I'm not against bracket-creep on the grounds that it is too taxing on the players. I am against a post season tournament which over-shadows the regular season, and I assess an 8 team playoff to be such a thing.

Furthermore, I view the NFL's playoff model as a cautionary tale of what bracket-creep can do. I view the 4 team bracket as an improvement over the BCS, but doubling to 8 would be a mistake in the current landscape.

Conference Champions and at larges..... so the tournament that every other NCAA sport, Div 1 through 3, men and women use.... I like it.


Did you know that under that format, the NCAA could award a sanctioned National Championship trophy to FBS Football.

Yeah, cause if the Iron Bowl didn't decide our entire season every few years, I guess I'd not care about it anymore.

1. if conference champions get in, then all the other coaches will quit being pussies and go to a nine game conference schedule.

2. If you regularly will have 1-2 loss teams in the playoffs, teams will be much more likely to schedule real OOC games, if for no other reason to get "practice " playing a tough game.

This. If you are automatically in as a conference champion, OOC losses hurt less. And if you don't win your conference, then you need to have GREAT OOC wins to boost your resume to get in.

Teams will have a lot of incentive to schedule primetime OOC matchups.

The new system is better than what we had, but it needs to be 8 teams

Yeah....fricking youngsters with no appreciation for tradition...if there were 8 teams you would want 12 yada yada then 16 then 20. It will be worthless soon enough.

And letting all major champs in would be a joke. A 3+ loss champion would be a travesty.

I think it would be perfect to go to 16; (technically it would only be 8 because your already using some games that are played and adding a few at large but your forcing teams to play their way in) , if you incorporate the P5 conf champ games ( this would be of course require the B12 to either expand or be allowed to have one). That would guarantee 10 spots to those leagues. You would have to eliminate non P5 league CCG , but in doing so have mid maj champ game the winner advances to qtrs, 2 at large match ups the same weekend as the conf champ games held on campus or at predetermined sites. This would only add 1 week of college football with a 16 game playoff.
