POLL: Dinner with which BYU player

cougarfan900

3:24pm

I’ve seen some stuff on film that I’d like to discuss with Retzlaff.

DieHarder

3:25pm

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.

Expand the playoffs to 20 to 24

Countcougula

3:23pm

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

Hawk Talons

3:24pm

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

Cougar TD

3:24pm

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

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