re: which is better - 6 or 8 team playoff?

agree this would be good, I just see it going to 8 with what I mentioned earlier. Commissioners and ADs want the CCGs to matter, now if a 12-0 Bama or Clemson was upset by a 8-4 Pitt or Georgia they would still get in with the 2 at large bids.

This particular year we have earned a bowl bid but a 6-6 team IMHO has not earned a bowl bid. But when you have 40 Bowl games , it gets completely watered down.
So Vandy would probably not get a bowl bid under my plan.

Nothing delusional about my plan. Additionally, I would cut the regular season to 10 games, eliminate the conference championship games.
$$$ Money Money , everybody cries, we would lose $$$$ with two less games. But what happened to sports being about the players and making their lives easier. Making things a little less about $$$.

Oh and one last thing, all of the schools share equally in the playoff revenue with the participants getting their expenses covered but nothing additional.

Well who outside Bama / OK cares about that game. See two can play that game.

But wait plenty of CFB fans around the country are general fans and will watch other teams play. Not just their own or the so called Teams of Royalty.

Not sure how old you but you evidently are just a youngster. Years back, prior to 1990, a team had to win 8 or more games just to be considered for a bowl. That was my comparison. Oh , and they only played 10-11 games as well.
So in other words you had to earn it.

Now under the current scenario, Vandy deserves to be in a bowl and I am glad for them. But my point remains (8-4 > 6-6) when all is fairly equal (schedule, conference etc. ).

Please tell me you're not this stupid. Or do you really think Clemson fans and the entire Notre Dame fan base nationwide have no interest in our game.

Seriously.

You want to talk smack? You're the one who suggested some fans' games are meaningless, not me.

I saw those Bama teams as well. Try again.

My goodness are we testy. I just offered an opinion that the bowls are watered down with 40 of them in existence. My plan made for a great playoff scenario plus preserving some of the bowls for deserving teams outside the group.

I was just picking about the AL/OK game. Of course, people will be interested in that game as well as the State-Iowa though obviously in lesser numbers.

Peace out

So they should be screwed out of a shot at the title just because of who they are?
