re: 12 Team Playoff

High school has a playoff, D2 and D3 have playoffs, NFL has playoffs.

All of these levels don’t have the unique characteristics of FBS.

High school is supposed to be just local kids. The NFL has tons of rules in place to artificially make parity. FCS, D2 and D3 have little or no scholarships, and the same programs dominate those every year anyways.

The last few years no one had given a crap about bowl games and if it was not one of the top 4 teams, there was a good chance players wouldn't even play and you get bowl matchups like Florida vs Oklahoma this year. They need to do something to make it better and meaningful.

I agree with this. I think the good of the bowl system was lost the second they went to a playoff. I think people may be trying to hold onto something that’s already gone.

A legitimate argument can be made that CFB shouldn’t have left the BCS. The BCS era was unquestionably more entertaining than the playoff era has been to date. I don’t see much reason to defend the current system though.
