This looks to be the favored outcome…. A lot of momentum and articles just dropped. Meeting soon.

I guess you do byes or something? Equal games doesn’t work out.

So theoretically a team could play 17 games now? 12 regular season, 1 conference championship, 1 "wild card" round, 1 quarterfinal, 1 semifinal, and 1 championship. So not only is the NCAA going to stupidly put itself in the position of competing with the NFL playoffs, they're definitely not going to increase the scholarship limits to offset the added attrition that many teams will face.

I like it. In early November, pretty much every team in the top-25 will have something specific to root for. Some are looking for a bye, some are looking for a home playoff game, some will know they cant lose another game or theyre out, and some will be rooting against a bunch of other teams so they can sneak in

No.

This is stupid.

If certain conferences want in they need to get better. Period.

Don't water down the regular season.

I'm ok with this.
Further, it still rewards the top 4 by providing a bye.

I’m not for this at all. If you’re highly ranked, I guess you could sit your star players for a couple of games just to make sure they are fresh for the playoffs. That’s just too many teams.

So dumb. There's not a single team in the 5-12 range since the playoffs started that had any chance of running the table in a tournament.

I'm not a fan of byes, but that's my only complaint.

I'd prefer either 8 or 16.

Sounds good. Tell us who and where to play and we'll be there.

I don't want a cfb March Madness. This will lead to less worthy teams winning the title due to late season injuries. I also don't support more games unless the payers are actually paid. It will kill every bowl not in the top 12 too. CFBNerds and Josh Pate had a lot of good takes on what this will lead to.
