They don’t care about that. A team can currently play up to 17-18 games right now.

Yep. If they really cared about player safety they wouldn't add more games. They just use player safety as an excuse to get more commercials in. I would prefer going back to the old clock rules and eliminating two regular season games. The new clock rules are the worst thing to happen to CFB.

I don't believe any team in the post-bowl game AP Poll voting for the national championship era has ever moved from below #6 ranking to #1 in the polls. So eight teams is plenty for me. Nobody ranked below that deserves a shot.

Or we could crown a national champion after the regular season like they used to do.

People that want a 24 team playoff are fans of teams that can't make the 12 team CFP.

Where a system was so popular and so unique that the big money greeds eventually swooped in and attempted to take it over, much like what the Deep State is doing to our country?

They were the only undefeated team. Who would have been a better choice?

Go back to a 4 team playoff.
If your team doesn't make it try harder the next year.

“Prove it on the field”

Also

“Get rid of conf. cg’s”


BTW, “Don’t host games on campus sites”, but “DO HAVE a 32 team p/o”.

Hell no, the current 12 is watered down enough..expand any further and regular season games become meaningless.

Not that they'll ever go back, but 8 is still the perfect number.

Wrong direction. Twelve was already proven too many.
