I love BYU football as much as the next guy but that would be awkward for me. Maybe if it was a large group of people.

Looks like he may have played against SUU

Sure, if for no other reason than depth.

Pretty highly rated recruit and a DL that we certainly could use

ManicBlue

Expand the playoffs to 20 to 24

3:23pm

I have always thought it should be 16 teams with no byes

Hawk Talons

3:24pm

There are 352 DIV 1 basketball teams. 68 tournament spots 128 FBS for 12 spots

Powerbait DPM

3:39pm

Honestly I would love 24, but I am just hopeful for 14 or 16.

Cougar TD

3:24pm

16, Top 6 conf champs (or 7 champs if you want to be really nice)

Zoobieman

3:32pm

DII does 28 teams. The money is too good. You know it'll expand past 12 at some point.

slappy

3:25pm

Just rank the top 25 and do a playoffs with all 25.

Cougar TD

3:27pm

There's no way it won't be at 14 or 16 in 2 years. The Big10/SEC/ND aren't happy

thewaterboy

I can't really blame anyone who's salty over the Donkey Utes getting a first

AlternateShot

The same people would be salty if it were BYU or SMU as well

thewaterboy

3:41pm

And then even teams with losing records in the SEC/BIG will get in! Hurrah!

It would be so fun to watch 21 SEC+B1G teams plus 1 each of B12/ACC/G5!

Chefcurry

3:30pm

CCGs should be the first round of the playoffs. Two teams from each conference

AlternateShot

3:35pm

20 or 24 will be great as long as it includes all conference champs. Just adding more SEC/B1G isn’t better

22jrob22

3:36pm

Every p4 gets two team’s minimum.

idcougarfan

3:38pm

Or create a rule that teams w/3 or more losses (excluding CCG) are not included

Tare

That will make OOC games a waste because nobody will schedule good teams.

Not if it's the 12 highest ranked teams from the pool

Socrates Johnson

Yes only for this season

DanSmith

They deserve it. Being a conference punching bag is hard work. I hope they fill that role every year.

3:21pm

Yes a lot more but think of how troubling that must be for the U.

rad dawg

It's so unfair. BYU has all that tithing money flowing into the program.

To play a game on a PC, you will need to buy it via a launcher like Steam, Epic Games, GOG, etc.

What % of the poptarts/Alamo payout does BYU keep vs. thrown in the B12 pot?

3:03pm

Just travel expenses the rest goes to the conference

cougarfann888

I was afraid of that. Do the P-12 stepchildren keep their old bowl payouts?

3:07pm

I am not sure on that front

cougarfann888

3:18pm

Also, are we getting a half share of the bowl payouts. That = insult + injury

Yep. All divided. That was the one good thing about being Indy.
