24 teams is way too many. Did you finish in the top quarter of the P4? You deserve a spot in the playoffs


Over 43% of NFL teams make the playoffs

14 out of 32

What's your point?

People are complaining about who got in at 4 teams & 12 teams...yet you think it needs to be BIGGER?


Yes, I believe Notre Dame could have been a strong contender for the national championship
quote:

Do you think they give a frick about what you think?


No, but perhaps they should as I'm not alone
They completely screwed up the 2025 playoff and now they're looking for a repeat performance in 2026

A better way forward ...

The playoff needs to expand to 16 or preferably 24 teams

The G5 bids need to go away and they need to conduct their own championship

Conference championship games need to go the way of the dinosaur

Use a version of the BCS formula to rank the top 16 or 24 teams and seed them accordingly

The first two rounds should be home games for the higher seeded teams

The season should start a week earlier, play night games where it's hot

The playoff should begin the week after Thanksgiving (the week when conference championship games used to be played)

No byes, everyone plays week one of the playoff

The championship game should be played on New Year's day/evening

This would provide all teams and free agents equal access to the portal with a more reasonable window to complete the season and potentially enroll at a new school

Who has a resume close to '25 Indiana?



First ever 16-0 team in modern football history

Beat Ohio State

Beat Alabama

Beat Oregon (Twice)

Beat Miami (in Miami's home stadium)

No one else is close
He thought Misery would provide the best opportunity for him to play in the Gasparilla Bowl

Indiana would spank Notre Dame.


Didn't 12 months ago

Notre Dame 27
Indiana 17

You just made my point

The committee awarded playoff berths with no justifiable rationale

True National Championship

The winner of Indiana -v- Miami should play Notre Dame for the legitimate national championship

I would take Notre Dame against either team

If Indiana beats Miami, they can play ND in Indianapolis for the State/National Championship

Most current computer rankings have Notre Dame in the top 3-4

Don't forget the playoff committee's blatant manipulation of moving Miami and Alabama ahead of Notre Dame to protect the ACC from getting shut out of the playoff

Alabama had no business making the playoff and did absolutely nothing 'on the field' to jump Notre Dame in the first place




Guess Bama is broke?

Y'all would still never make the playoff

Sure better than anything UT has displayed in my lifetime.


Truth
There's been a team or two with a good offense (sorry LSU) or defense but none more dominant on both sides of the ball

Hope the SEC can close the gap against the Big 10 in the coming years
