Should college football look at going back to an 11 game schedule?

If the SEC does eventually go to a 9 game conference schedule and keeps the SECCG, on top of a playoff, it almost seems unfair.

Obviously applies to other conferences.

CFB wants to make money, not lose it.

And how would they lose money eliminating an LSU vs Towson type ppv game?

Should they? Yes.

Will they? No.

If anything, we are going to see even more games. Look at the NFL - those idiots want to add two more regular season games.

No. I think CFB should actually be played year round. Double the games and double the number of scholarship players so coaches can rotate a lot, or even field two completely different teams in the autumn and the spring. Have a different play-off, title game, and bowl season for each semester, and sit back and watch the world explode from the awesomeness of it all while the Internet implodes from the exponential increase in message board flame wars.

Because teams generally won't get rid of those types of games as long as there conferences allow them to be scheduled.
More likely high profile games where a win is not guaranteed like Georgia v Clemson would be the ones removed from the schedules. Schools generally like having 1 or 2 cupcakes on the schedule for gimme wins.
So doing this would get rid of any good non conference games (in state rivalries however would stay) and still keep the LSU v Towson and Georgia v Appalachian State type games.

cfb really should go for 2 regular season games a year--with 10 months of media hype, multi-city press tours, profanity laden reality tv shows, staged press conferences, coach , AD and player scuffles, endless trash talk & promotion--- all games are prime time only and exclusively on PPV ----work$ for Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
