Can we make like a 100 team playoff so SC has a chance to get in?

Thanks in advance...

Why so we can see blow outs of teams that do not deserve to be in like last year? Why not just have all the teams get in? Look at the top 25. Three and four loss teams will be in and Notre Dame with the cream puff schedule will be automatically voted in every year.

1. There should never be byes in college football. It's not the NFL, where standings are earned on the field mathematically. It's too subjective to give out byes.


I agree and favor ending up at 32 teams, but also byes don't mean auto wins for the team with the bye. In 2024 all 4 teams with byes lost to teams who didn't recieve byes.

quote:

2. Teams picked by updated BCS/AI formula. Committee has authority to make rare, but necessary changes based on unique circumstances like injuries, teams improving or worsening drastically throughout the season, etc.



Expanding the playoff makes me care a little less for the selection process. Now we are arguing over teams that probably aren't even ranked, so not a big deal to me like leaving out a top 5 team back when it was only a 4 team playoff.

quote:

3. Absolutely no guaranteed bids for non P4 teams.


Agree

4. First round week before Christmas. Second round NYE/NYD. third round mid January, 4th round end of January.


Should play the first round the week after Thanksgiving. Army/Navy needs to be during rivalry week like it was before they moved it in 2009. Do not skip a week, so 28 teams will be done 6 days before Christmas and the championship game will be played on New Years Day.

Maybe, but L$u probably needs the CFB to go to a 48 team format. Then their 6-6 teams still have a chance. The playoff started in 2014 and “national brand” has made ONE!

I don’t pay attention to basketball until March madness, so this works for me.

I’d rather have the BCS or the old bowl system where four or five fan bases could argue over who was truly #1.

Espn has been trying to help by scheduling all of the games earlier and at the same time.

If you enjoy something it is not a waste of time.

I bet all of us love the Football season, some of us Basketball and Baseball as well.

The poors around the country love this idea. Seen them legitimately say every conference deserves an auto bid so get ready for that 1st rd Kennesaw St vs Troy banger.

The playoffs are going to end up being just like the bowl season where you can sleep through 90% of it.

16 should be the max.
Should be 8 to make the regular season mean something. But yes, 16 > 24.
