It's not irrelevant for the kids that get hurt

Of course, just talking about the design scheme of playoffs. The best playoffs are the fairest ones like March Madness, where everybody plays an equal number of games for a title. No byes mean equal games, equal rest and equal exposure to injuries.

“I like the 12 if they’d make a few tweaks. No auto bids for the G5 and no auto bids for simply winning your conference.”

This. The day will come, and right quick, when a 7-5 team that didn’t do shite in the regular season against shite competition gets in over a 10-2 team that played much tougher opponents. All conferences are not created equal. In a perfect world all conference champ games have an 11-0 vs a 10-1 team but that will never be the case.

No, need 16. Why not give the top 4 a home game instead of a bye?

I agree.

There's going to be 4 major teams (SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Notre Dame etc) left out, that would put up a far better fight in the opening round than the 5th confererence champ will.

If it's all about TV money anyway, you may as well do it.

You're just saying that because you know ole miss can't beat UGA and you want someone else to do the dirty work.

Doesn't matter to Florida if it is 4,6,8,10,12,16 team playoff. They will not be there as long as Sun Belt Billy is there.

I would say the same for Kelly at LSU. LSU will never win a championship with Kelly as the HC.

Why not more than12? Every other classification /sport has more. FCS football has 24, NFL has 14 in a 32 team league, college basketball and baseball has 64. Why is everyone against expanded playoffs. Do away with bowls, they became obsolete/a joke years ago.

I know this is just intended to get a rise out of LSU fans, but y'all really need to get a better troll than this

LSU won championships with Les Miles and Ed Orgeron. There is no universe where those guys are better coaches than Kelly.

This isn't Alabama, where you can say "Saban isn't on the sideline anymore" and it can hit home.

So remove the ACC and big12 from Power conference status. Which honestly needs to happen anyway.
That would be a short term fix but I’d prefer to see conference title games ditched all together if we keep up with 12 teams

Not sure why they decided on 12 instead of 8 or 16. Why should anyone get a bye?

because if after 13 games played over the regular season + CCG wknd you aren't even ranked in the top 12 you have very clearly lost your chance to be national champion. It shouldn't even be 12.

The NFL has far more parity as every team is filled with the best players in the world at the sport.

quote:

college basketball


has like 300 teams

quote:

baseball has 64.


they also play a frick ton more games.

In CFB the regular season used to be the best on earth because all 12 games were crucial. One loss and you went to the back of the line and had to hope like hell you had some help, 2 losses and you are now out of contention (usually). It makes the regular season absolutley important whereas now it's almost irrelevant.

because the entire point of the thing is (should be rather) who is the national chamion? Who is the best team? Someone ranked 16th after 13 weeks doesn't deserve it.

only because people like you just decided one day that they were.
