They need to expand the CFP, they said. It'll be better, they said.

[Comfort Hire 12]

The current format works with 4 conferences where the champion goes to the playoff.  If we continue the current format or more teams to the P5 conferences, then we will have to expand the playoff.

 

This setup or something close works for the current 4 team playoff.

 

SEC East

Florida , South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vandy, Bama, Auburn, Jawja

SEC West

Piggy, gomer, OU, Misery, LSU, Texas, Ole Miss, Miss St (This just radiates hard bare knuckle football)

B1G East

Rutgers, Maryland, Pedo, tOSU, Michigan, Indiana, Mich St, Northwestern

B1G West

Iowa, Iowa St, Illinois, Whisky, Minnesota, Purdue, Nebraska, Kansas

Pac West

Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Az St., TCU, Texas Tech, Ok St, Kansas St

Pac East

USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Oregon St, Wash, Wash St.

ACC Atlantic

Domer, Syracuse, BC, Louisville, Wake, NC State, Clemson, Florida St

ACC Coastal

Pitt, WVU, Virginia, V Tech, Duke, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Miami

 

If the Big 12 adds a bunch of crap CUSA or AAC teams then its 8 team.

It's 11:11 New Year's Day morning and there's not a single gotdam game on right now (and OU still sucks.)  What's the point in having bowls if there aren't several games on NYD morning?  You anti-playoff expansion weirdos think this is good?  Just kill this current abortion and go to a 16-team playoff, the impact on the bowls be damned.  They've ruined themselves.  Let them sink or swim on their own without keeping cfb tied up in an archaic abomination.

(No offense to you Rose Parade fanatic sissies.)

expansion of playoffs =/= killing bowl games.

 

They just spread them out more this year.  Calm yourself, nancy...

Bowl games are dead anyway. When 6-6 teams are allowed into them that says it all. Now players sitting them out in droves because they’re meaningless

And what happened 4 or 5 years ago that fucked up the traditional bowl schedules? It's a real mystery

If an 8 team playoff existed we might have seen a real thriller in LSU vs Utah.  Wow, sorry we missed out on that instant classic.

[DanRydell 799]

I guess the NFL should get rid of the wildcard spots. They don’t deserve it apparently. 

According to Landomatic, they should get rid of division champ spots and only have wildcard spots.

1 LSU vs 8 Memphis
2 Ohio St vs 7 Baylor
3 Clemson vs 6 Georgia
4 Oklahoma vs 5 Oregon

If you used method I proposed earlier with Memphis getting the G5 bid and Georgia and Baylor getting at large bids

After the first round we probably wind up exactly where we did with the lone exception of Oregon possibly getting past Oklahoma.

And Lamar Jackson wouldn’t be an MVP candidate because he wasn’t all that impressive on paper before the season...

I don't understand how any college football fan would be against an 8 team playoff. I mean, you don't have to be for it, but why the hell do you care so much to be against it? If 4-8 are just gunna get their asses kicked anyway, hell, welcome to any sport's playoff system.  It'd be a hell of a lot better than the top four teams sitting around another week to make it three whole weeks without a game, which can't be good. Give 'em a warm-up.

And no one start with the "over-saturation" shit. Maybe that'd matter in the NBA, or NFL, but in college football, 4-8 are going to be on your TV in a bowl game regardless, so why not make it mean at least a little more?

Ratings for CFB are struggling and bowl games are losing their value.

Heard Joel Klatt discussing that there should be a G5 Playoff to help provide more interest in CFB since CFP really offers no opportunities for those conferences.  Might be fun for a few of the bowls to be involved in G5 Playoffs...

So just wondering what a G5 National Championship Series would look like this year??

Cincinnati, Coastal Carolina, Buffalo, Boise State, Ragin' Cajuns, UTSA  and others??

Definitely need something more for the Group of 5 teams to play for.

[VABuckeye 2472]

Agreed.  It's is silly that they're lumped in with the P5 teams yet they have a 0% chance of making the playoffs.  Give them their own championship.

[Landomatic 3813]

Not sure but if they expanded the playoffs like so many on this thread have been wishing for, aggy would be in the playoffs this year.  Let that sink in.

not gonna hate on them if that happens... fucking ou has managed to make the current playoffs what.... 5 times?   you still have to nut up and win...  something ou hasnt shown an ability to do, nor has aTm shown the ability to beat Bama other than that 1 time 8 years ago that we still hear about ad nauseum.

If the 4-team playoff is in any way responsible for the Ian Book Interview during 20 minutes of gameplay in the third quarter of the Clemson-VT game, it needs to be blown up bad.  That was a travesty on so many levels.

If you aren't going to allow those teams to be in the real playoffs, then it is beyond time to let them have their own. Way too many good teams at that level to have them all play in piss ant pointless bowl games.
