Oh. In that case maybe we should just call all of the bowl games playoff games if that is all it takes to be meaningful. We will never have enough meaningful games, right?

Using your logic it would only make sense to go to 16 or 32 teams in the playoffs. just think of all the meaningful games.


It simply depends on how many post season games without opt outs you wish for. Opt out bowls don’t seem to bother you though.

Like it or not opt outs are a part of the game now. I don't like it. I agree that it is quitting. I also understand the players side of it, too.....to an extent.

So, the solution is...if we want to stop opt outs we should just make all bowl games playoff games?

Honest opinion. How may teams do you want to see? All NY6? Those are the premier games today. That would be what...12 teams? Ad those to the 4 we already have for the playoffs and we have 16 teams?

To me....I want the games to be interesting. A good game played. You add 4 more teams and people are going to stop watching the first round or two of the playoffs. Who wants to watch 59-20, 37-17, 38-0, 24-7,30-3 games? Those are the scores of some of the semi-final games we have gotten. You start putting the #1 team against the #8 team and it will get worse. a LOT worse. Then you compound that problem by not having some decent match ups in the NY6 games. You lose those competitive games altogether.

Time to get off the computer. I realize that the playoffs are going to happen. I am just going on record saying t=it will be a mistake, in my opinion.
