Never should have expanded past 4. That was plenty.

No way to group of five with 2 bids. They shouldn’t be allowed in now. Give them their own playoffs.

Join the group of 5, get your auto bid. Why doesn’t Alabama do it?

It should be cut to 6

1 and 2 get a bye so some semblance of regular season matters and is rewarded

6 v 3 and 5 v 4 in Quarter Finals
Winner of (6v3) v 1 seed in Semi’s
Winner of (5v4) v 2 Seed in Semis
Finals

It’s incredible 2 years ago a Georgia team that had won like 40 of its last 41 and were back to back champs got left out by losing by 3 points in ATL and now we should let TWO GROUP OF 5 teams in???

WTF are you talking about man

I want to see big out of conference games but the committee is telling us its bad for playoff chances. Here's what I would like to see.

Auto Bids
SEC 4 teams
Big10 4 Teams
ACC 2 Teams
Big 12 2 teams
Group of 5 2 Teams
remain 2 by some metric that rewards beating good teams.

This would allow big out of conference games without effecting your playoff chances. Texas is punished for playing OSU and it cost them a playoff spot.

How it would work in the sec.
Regular season top 2 teams get in and still play for conference champ.
2 play in games 3vs6 4vs5


What do you guys think?


No, no, and no!

No automatic bids and no g6. Just put the top 8 in and be done.

I watch the FCS and it's an absolute hoot. Letting a committee controlled by media pick teams, that's a travesty.

Use some sort of computer ranking to rank the top 12-16 teams and take the idiot humans out of the equation. No auto bids, strength of schedule means something.

SEC should have about 7-8 teams in each year.
