Finishing in the Top 10 AP is still kinda important I feel like.. it’s crap compared to the playoff.. but at least it is something..

Maybe have bowl games for those spots?

AP 1 = Winner of NC game
AP 2 = Loser of NC Game

AP 3 = Winner of 3rd Place Game (new)
AP 4 = Loser of 3rd Place Game

AP 5 = Winner of 5 vs 6
AP 6 = Winner of 7 vs 8
AP 7 = 9 vs 10
AP 8 = 11 vs 12
AP 9 = 13 vs 14
AP 10 = 15 vs 16

Losers from above get AP 11 - AP 16

Maybe NIL could help with opt outs.. Play this bowl game and you will get $100k (stars).. maybe that number is too high or low..

All I know is that the bowl games used to mean something and it all sucks that they don’t anymore..

agree completely, but I don't really think there's any turning back now. Expanding the playoffs will only devalue the remaining bowl games even more. ANd you can't pay players enough NIL money to make them care because elite guys are still looking at a whole lot more in the draft than an NIL payment will ever pay them. It's honestly a cultural thing IMO. This generation of players have simply been programmed not to care about games once their teams are no longer playing for a national title. I think the money thing is just a hollow excuse.

I'll just be glad when OU and Texas get there and there doesn't need to be "hypothetical" threads like this.

Maybe there will be a bowl match up between one of those two teams and an SEC team.
