Would you support the removal of SEC divisions and a requirement to win conference to go

to playoffs? Or one or the other? Conference would retain a conference championship between the top two teams.

Let's just give Bama an automatic bye to the playoffs, and the rest of us will play for 2nd.

Are you asking if the SEC should give up their power to possibly have 2 teams in the playoff?

We don't mind earning it, so far it has worked out pretty well.

Yes. CFB post season is a joke.

-- Permanently expand the Playoff to 8 teams.
-- Require the P5 conferences to expand to 14 teams, with two divisions therein, and hold a championship game between the top teams from each division.
--Conference champs receive auto-bids to the CFP. There will also be two at-large bids, and one bid will be reserved for the highest ranked G5 school.
-- The first (quarter-final) round of the CFP will played at the higher seed's home stadium. This game will take place the week immediately after the conference championships. The semi-finals will continue to be tied into the rotating NY6 bowl games, and be played on or around the same dates as current.
-- Limit regular season schedules to 11 games, played over a 12 week period, with conference championships played on week 13, and fist round of the CFP played on week 14.
-- Game scheduling requirements are as follows:
-6 games will be played against divisional conference opponents,
-1 game must be played against a rotating cross-divisional conference opponent,
-1 game must be played against a fixed cross-divisional conference opponent
-1 game must be played against an opponent from another P5 conference.
The two remaining games are open dates, and schools are free to schedule against whomever and play wherever they choose. The required out-of-conference P5 game may also be scheduled for a neutral site.
-- Rankings of teams, whether by a coaches poll, the AP, or any other major probative poll, may not start until after week 3
-- Require the P5 conferences to expand to 14 teams, with two divisions therein, and hold a championship game between the top teams from each division.

That what you call losing by double digits on the final weekend of the regular season?

So a four loss P5 team and a two loss G5 team can make the playoff automatically while two or three one loss P5 teams dont. Ill pass.

How exactly are you going to force the AP not to put out a poll till week 3?

College football is messy and that is part of the charm.
The moment you try to make it clean with superconferences, 8 team playoffs, and "pods" is the moment its fricked.
Sometime around 2030 after Amazon has re-organized the entire sport to make it easier for them to manage we will miss the wild west times of today.

CFB is the only sport where a team can lose a head to head matchup, and the playoff system will write it off an anomaly. "Better team didn't win. Put'em in the playoffs."

The only reason I'd support disbanding the divisions is so LSU can actually play each conference team more than once per decade.
Posted on 11/2/18 at 11:34 am to Kingpenm3
So you are strictly anti-Alabama, pro...who? Is this another LSU whine about “schedule?” Lookie here Boudreaux, the National charge is to include the “4 best teams,” not just “ conference champions.” Seven games ago LSU lost 21-0 when it counted. For that matter, Georgia lost when it mattered too. Neither were the best team in the country. Get over it.

i'd bet a testicle their are dozens of college hoops/baseball teams who've gone 0fer vs an opponent in the regular season, only to beat them in the conference tourney and get the autobid.

No. What I'd rather see is an FBS split and conference realignment that results in 6 12 team conferences each with 6 divisions, each playing 8 conference games.
Every team plays 4 OOC games, one potentially with a permanent opponent, and and no more than one with a team not in one of the 6 power conferences. The other 2 games will be with other power conference teams.
The 6 conference champs make the playoffs with the top two seeds getting first round byes. 5 BCS bowls rotate as the playoff games (Cotton, Sugar, Fiesta, Rose, Orange).
All other teams not in the playoffs play in exhibition bowls which can include those non power conference teams.
12 team conferences just work so much better for scheduling and for maintaining traditional rivalry games, in my opinion. Conferences should be attempting to be as regional, competitively balanced, and culturally similar as possible (for example, one conference shouldn't consist of nothing but traditional powers and another consist of also-rans).
The last nugget I would add is that each power conference should be paired with a non-power conference. Every 4 years, the team with the worst record in the power conference plays the team with the best record in the non-power conference. If the non-power wins, they take the other team's place in the power conference. If not, the conference stays the same for the next four years when the process repeats. That way, programs that prove they can win consistently at the lower levels can be rewarded and programs that consistently under-perform face real consequences that impact their bottom-line.

There’s these organizations called “professional sports leagues” that you really ought to look into. You might or might not like them (I don’t particularly care for them), but I think you’ll learn something either way.

I just want the 4 best teams in a 4 team playoff or the 8 best teams in an 8 team playoff, etc.
I think it's simple enough. We used to get the 2 best teams pretty consistently but nobody was happy with that. Now, nobody is happy with a 4 team playoff. Why? Because their team isn't in it.
We humans are an entitled bunch aren't we?
