Playoffs? Playoffs?
First, they need to get rid of 2/3 of the bowl games. They are a waste of time. Hell half the bowl games played this year were in front of 90% empty stadiums
Second, stop the Pay to play non conference games. These are a waste of time and money also.
Make all 12 games with Conference and Power 5 Conference games. This will be the internal playoff played during the season, so at the end of the year, everyone will know who the best teams are.

Actually, INTELLIGENT people would understand that the balance of power shifts between the P5 conferences. NFL divisions are not equal either.
That should not used to prevent FBS P5 teams from being able to control their own destiny.

And what about basketball, volleyball and gymnastics? They all compete THROUGHOUT all of December.
You're an idiot. Alabama had a 10 day break in its schedule during exams. As for gymnastics... go back and look at their schedule. Gymnastics had its first contest Jan. 5. You're clueless.This post was edited on 1/16/18 at 10:23 am

Actually, you keep proving to be a dumbass. Just because uat had a ten day break in their schedule does not mean everyone does. Auburn played games on Dec 3, 6, 9, 13, 16, and 19.
Your argument about final exams preventing an expanded playoff is an asinine one. Are Fall exams more important than Winter/Spring exams? Just look at the March Madness schedule. That blows your theory right out of the window.

Let's just leave aside, for the moment, that you're so fricking clueless even about Auburn athletics, that you didn't even know your own gymnastics team doesn't start competing until January.
At least four other SEC basketball teams besides Alabama took 10 days or more during exams.
I guess ACC commissioner John is "asinine" and a "dumbass" though...
""I'm thrilled that we are at four," Swofford said, "and where we are, I think that's where we will be through the duration of this contract. I think it's where we should be because it fits the parameters that the presidents had given us in terms of a playoff.
"There are two bookends. One are the exams. They don't want a playoff going on during most schools' exams. "

So you didn't go to college, did you?
This page gives all the universities in the US on a quarter system. Almost none are FBS schools.
Give up.

Oh, I see. You are one of those morons that believes that if one thing in a statement is in error, then the message is in error.
Your defense of not expanding the playoffs is as moronic as ever despite what idiotic commissioner makes whatever comments. I'm sure it never occurred to you that he was defending a format that he was a part of creating. Of course he is going to defend it. I remember people claiming there would never be a playoff with more than 2 teams. That proved to be BS.
But, go right ahead. Dumbass away.....

Kid, you need to learn something: Trying to save face when you've been slapped in the face with facts just makes you look like a bigger fool. I'm willing to bet that the head of cabbage in that "idiotic" commissioner's refrigerator has more brain cells than some dumbass Auburn sidewalk fan who is clueless not only about his school's sports teams, he doesn't even know that Auburn, like the rest of the SEC, is on semesters, not quarters.
All you have in this argument is your opinion, which isn't even worth the shite in your brain.

This year guarantees it will expand IMO.
The B1G did not like being left out. With an 8 team format this year they probably have 2 in.

Wow, the dumbassery continues.
Did you really just post a link showing the schools on a quarter system to defend not expanding the playoffs?
So, you are saying that the education for the student athletes that attend a school that uses the quarter system is not as important as those whose schools use the semester system? Therefore, it doesn't matter if those schools have exams during mid December and mid March?
Frick, you are so damn ignorant.

No doubt the Bama fans really care deeply about their students first semester exams
If I was a Bama fan I wouldn't want to have to play more high level teams that decrease the chance of you winning another title either, but don't argue it's academic based! Especially when half your team will leave before they graduate any way.

“Winning your conference” is not and can’t be the standard. It is “the four best teams...period.” We have seen too many crappy teams luck into a conference championship.
Going to eight teams insures a further dilution to conference record and play...and you will get teams like UCF with a third rate schedule stinking up the process. You may eventually get a “wild card” winner too, and no one will be happy. 8 is too many, I actually favor the old BCS, two...but four is ok.

Expanding to 8 or anything greater than 4 will make it easier for Bama to get in. Are you sure that's what people want ?
