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.

What? An 8 team playoff means you play 7 games.You can incorporate every single on of then add the championship game.
Whats so difficult to figure out?

You just keep adding nonsensical hypotheticals to booster your arguments.

How in world do you know this? I would absolutely watch 3 of the 4 in the scenario we discussed earlier along with almost every other CFB fan.

And here are some other scores:55-19,41-14,42-14,37-14,21-0 and 42-20. You wanna guess where these scores are from?
Might as well go back to the old bowl system because the BCS obviously wasn't working with all these blowouts,correct?
I don't get the thinking that all future playoff games will somehow be "blowouts" because of whats happened in past years.

Do you want to try to reduce how many opt out? Make the post season games more meaningful.

No, and this is stupid if you think this is what anyone has said.
This isn't 1995 anymore. 8-3 with a 2-1 record against your rivals and a trip to the Tangerine Bowl isn't a good season.
It sucks, but players today only care about making the playoff. A 16 team playoff where every conference champion gets an autobid keeps more players and fans interested in the sport for a longer period of time.
I know that I watch less college football in general when Georgia gets taken out of playoff contention. I still watch Georgia games but other games mean nothing to me anymore. That is bad for the sport.

The last 3 years
2017:
1. Clemson 8. USC
4. Alabama 5. Ohio State
3. Georgia 6. Wisconsin
2. Oklahoma 7. Auburn
2018:
1. Alabama 8. UCF
4. Oklahoma 5. Georgia
3. Notre Dame 6. OSU
2. Clemson 7. Michigam
2019:
1. LSU 8. Wisconsin
4. Oklahoma 5. Georgia
3. Clemson 6. Oregon
2. Ohio State 7. Baylor
We have more good matchups of teams at full strength, and every season we can expect an upset. It would be better.
