Expect more of this. What if I told you 12 teams is too many. Expansion wasn't about the best 12, but giving G5 and lesser teams a chance. What do the Texas Techs and aggys of the world tell themselves every September 1st?

I don't think there's 12 worthy teams most years.

Echoing a point made already 20X: Indiana is a joke of a team to be in the playoffs 

I don't care who 9 thru 12 is when it comes to the play offs. Notre Dame would have probably put away Alabama also. Fix the seeding and end up with the best 8 teams after round one and I will be happy.

There aren't. 

It's just going to lead to a bunch of snooze fests like this one.

9-12 is always gonna be questionable 2-3 loss teams

 

the playoff really needs to be just 4 teams

yep.  there is no "get hot from 3" or "decide not to rebound at all against ACU" in football.  you get beat in the trenches, barring a ridiculous TO margin, you get beat.

How? They won’t run against UGA with any of their rbs or their QB. Georgia has more dudes and is much faster. 

They absolutely can run against Georgia. Texas fans have a seriously inflated view of Georgia's defense because of our two games.

I’m not so sure if 12 is a bad number. I’m old enough to remember the NCAA’s expansion in 1975. Yeah, initially there were snoozers, but it got better. So much so that the Cinderella thing really made it fun to watch. Given time I think this will improve too.

I always thought 6 was the right number with 2 teams getting a bye way back when 4 was being discussed but NIL and the portal has introduced parity and in today's football 4 and 6 is to few. All the teams this year are flawed and any of 6 to 8 teams if they got hot could win it this year.
