re: ‘Godfather’ of college football Roy Kramer weighs in on 12-team expanded playoff

Kirby is not against transfers , he just doesn’t like the free for all every year and he has a point. Do you realize how many enter the transfer portal and end up ending their college football career. Not yo mention their free education? I have no problem with someone transferring schools and I don’t think they should have to sit a year. But it’s really sad for all the kids who think the grass is greener and never even find another yard to play in.

Kirby’s also not against NIL, UGA has a huge collective. They use it for their current players. They don’t promise dollars to come to the school and play; they tell them there are NIL opportunities they have access to once they are there. It’s up to the player to show their worth and generate NIL on their own merritt. You know , how it was envisioned. Not a free hand out solution. I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure Saban is on the same page as well.

By the way have you seen the current Recruiting rankings?

Pretty sure the top recruits see the difference.

Now I do think most of the fans who are against expansion seem to be UGA, Bama, OSU, and Clemson fans. Even though many of them argue that it’s bad for the regular season and all kinds of other excuses. I think, it’s because they don’t want a harder path.

My issue has always been there are 131 teams. There’s not enough common opponents to actually know if an unbeaten team is the best team. The final 4 is not telling you who the best team is, it maybe telling you who’s deserving based on their record. That’s not the same thing. If the top 2 teams were beating the brakes off teams 3 & 4 every year. Then I would be like there’s no reason to expand.. that’s not happening.

Number 4 has won the tile as many times as number 1. Each twice. Number 3 has won it once and played for it 4 of the 8 times. So if 3 & 4 can beat 1 and 2; how is it not possible for other upsets.

I firmly believe the playoffs, while there will be blowouts and upsets in the first 2 rounds. The semi finals will be between the best 4 teams and the championship will be the best team in the country hands down! Finally!

I don’t understand how people don’t see that the games in November will be so much more meaningful. So many more teams in play..

Why wouldn’t you want that?
