But this isn't those leagues



Okay? So what?



You used them as justification to expand to 8 teams, but don't they usually play between 16-32 teams. Using your logic shouldn't we be expanding to 16-32 teams?

You didn't answer the question. Has one been left out that people thought..."wow they would have won it all if they had been in it." It hasn't happened because adding more teams would make for more terrible games. Look at the semi games. Only one year was there no blow out games played.

Crap no. What dfference would it make? All you would have are some NY6 games only they wouldn't be as good.

With NY6 games you get semi matched up teams. Expand to 8 and you have #1 vs #8. HORRIBLE game going by history. Just look at the semi-final playoff games. You would be taking away some games where the teams are at least paired up competitively to teams that are poorly paired up. Expand to 8 teams and here are the games we would have:

1-8 Alabama vs. Cincinnatti
2-7 Clemson vs. Florida
3-6 OSU vs. Oklahoma
4-5 ND-Texas A&M

Three of those would be blowouts.

What? I was giving CLEAR example of other leagues and somehow that turns into me advocating for a 32 team playoff?

Unbelievable and if you're trying make an arguement for the "uniqueness" of the CFB reg season,that ship set sail the day Bama got the playoff nod without winning their division.Sorry, the can of worms was opened that day.

Wow,so you're able to go back in time and answer a hypothetical?

Speaking of not answering questions,how bout my question about wanting to see UGA play Bama again or Clemson if we finished 8th?Are you telling me you wouldn't want to see that matchup or it wouldn't be
competitive?

What? BTW, its gonna happen so get ready for it.

I would love to see 3 of those and how in world do you know OSU vs OU or UF vs CU would be "blowouts?"

I don't and I you don't either

Quick yes or no:

Were you in favor of the BCS when it first came out?

How bout the CFB playoff when they first came out?

Reasons if you were in favor of either?
