CFP Changes

Byes for the actual top 4 ranked teams. No auto byes. I like the auto bids though.

Start the playoff weekend of Army Navy

The 5&6 seeds getting an easier path than the 1&2 is the fix that absolutely has to happen. Either give the top 4 byes and seed them correctly from the jump or reseed after the first round.

They need to change NIL, transfer portal, etc

This is the shittiest season I’ve watched in college football. The SEC champion trailed in 10 of 14 games this year, finished in the 100s running the ball, and literally no one outside of Ohio state the last 2 weeks looks like a complete team. Next best team in SEC was Texas and needed a prayer to beat an Arizona State team that may have 2 players play in the NFL and went 3-9 last year.

The teams sucked this year. It was shite football

The teams with first round byes went 0-4 in this year’s playoff.

The current NIL and transfer situation is literally the death of college football. At least everything that was great about it. Greg Sankey allowed this to happen at best and willed it to at worst. ND and Texas should win every natty from now on.

- Expand to 16; no byes
- Seed bracket per rankings
- auto-bids for conf champs
- Home field advantage for highest seed up to final 4
- Rotation of Sugar, Cotton, Rose bowls for semis and final

Expanded playoff is here to stay so no reason not to go to 16. I never liked the month wait before bowl games and that’s basically what the bye did to these teams who all looked rusty.

Gameday atmosphere was so much better on the campus games. Multiple bowl games put too much of a financial strain on fans to travel, plus it’s a sterile environment.

Also when top 8 teams get a home field advantage it makes all games more relevant. Your second loss may be the one that sends you to South Bend or Columbus in December.

The playoffs are looking like a NFL season. Which is a long season for college players. Coaches will have to take on NFL tendencies like rotating players often and keeping them fresh and healthy for a long season. FBS will not copy FCS playoff schedule which is a 24 team playoff but their championship game is Jan. 6th! Best thing would be get rid of conference championships and start the playoff the first or second Saturday of December. Or what would equal at least a week off for teams.
Also, needs to be some what of a same number of games played in all conferences. If SEC doesn't want to go to 9 games then just have everyone play 8 games. In the end, college football is becoming more and more like a mini NFL rather we like it or not.

It’s definitely a mini NFL. But all other college divisions have been doing 16 team (or more) playoffs for decades and it works.

Each playoff game makes $50 million so the bowls want to keep their greedy fingers on the games, but they just need to move them on campus until final 4
