No. Too much money involved. ESPN wouldn't do that

"Or otherwise incentivized to give unfair treatment to the B1G and SEC?" Yes.

I’m sure, but theoretically ESPN isn’t deciding.

No, it’s just a dumb thing people say to blame results they don’t like on conspiracy nonsense.

I don’t know about corrupt but many metrics don’t make any sense in relation to their rankings.

you think a currently ranked 10th Boise wouldn't fall out of the top 12 spots?

Look at last year, Georgia lost SEC championship at 12-0 and dropped from 1 to 5

They'd be ahead of BYU still.

I know how I'd react.

I'd react by never again watching a game that BYU wasn't playing in.

dYrtbYkerYder

3:53pm

I've already stopped watching SEC and B10 games.

Probably do it just to stick it to the B12.

ok.

If the B12 is only getting 1 team in, I'd LOVE for UNLV to knock a SEC team out!

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

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

slappy

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

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

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

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!

Or keep it the same but do 12 teams in an NIT type format like basketball. All

Chefcurry

3:30pm

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

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

22jrob22

Every p4 gets two team’s minimum.

idcougarfan

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

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