...but yesterday makes me look forward to the expansion even though it will really kill the lesser bowls who are already on life support.

TCU proved the Big12 has a chance and
BAMA and Tenn would make final 4 this year with 12 teams in.

Just trading what used to be an awesome regular season for a better playoffs. I remember when every game of 12 was high stakes and pressure packed. Those were good times.

4 teams was never enough teams. Alabama and Tenn both deserved to be in this year. When we get 12 teams, it will fully cover all the teams that need to be there; AND expose weak teams with cupcake schedule that just so happen to have a good record.

More regular season games now matter for more teams with 12 slots available.

I’ve been against it also but TCU kinda changed my mind but I also think it will cut down on opt outs if more teams are in contention.

Without Bryce Bama is a 4-5 loss team


Without him moving forward

And with Saban in decljne

Bama will still be missing the playoffs even with expansion

Y’all had a good run but now it’s time to become nascar fans again gumps

I see Sabans crying has been passed down to the tide fans. The Bama decline is REAL

They both lost 2 games. You want in? Then win. Pretty basic

You were against the expanded playoffs until Alabama couldn’t make the 4 team cut anymore. Got it.

I think the portal and opt outs will ultimately be more detrimental to the lesser bowls than the playoffs will be.

Your opinion is worth exactly how many playoff games and championships you have won. Hint: ZERO!

My optimal playoff was a 6 teamer with the top two seeds getting a bye” to reward them. I think 6 is plenty and is demonstrably plenty most years. This year would have had Alabama and Tennessee in, as it appears should be warranted, and the two undefeated teams would have received byes. You also stand a good chance at getting most the conferences in with a rep and don’t water things down too much at 6.

Absolute cope. Bama fans are pathetic. The tide was hot trash this year and the committee was right to keep them out.

I'm also a graduate of a perennial D-II contender/champion (Valdosta State).

Playoffs are much more fun and interesting than bowls.

However, 12 regular season games plus a conference championship game prior to the playoffs beginning is a lot to expect from the players. The conference championship games will actually make the road to the natty harder for the teams that make them than the teams like this year's Bamma and UT.

Go back to 11 games. Eliminate the conference championship game. Use that week for the first round of the playoffs.

Have the national championship game on New Year's Day.

Considering that Alabama was gifted the wins against Texas and Ole Miss by shitty officials, the 4 loss Bama team didn't deserve a sniff of the playoff this season.
