It's still not enough teams. FCS gets it right with 24 and has proven it works.

Same with DII. 2006 BYU John Beck led team was ranked like 20th and could've played with anyone at the end of that year. Certainly better than a good chunk of the top 12.

I love that they just ignore Utah all-together

Do the top 4 teams play at home?

Mostlyaccurate

6:42am

No, top 4 conference champs get a bye to the second round

That’s a flaw they should fix. Keep the byes, but reward their fans with a home

Gotta keep the bowl committees happy

thewaterboy

If you expand to at least 16 then those teams would get a home game

This NEEDS to happen. FCS and DII do 24 & 28 teams, it's proven, and amazing.

Don't have to go undefeated. 1 loss gets us into the champ game. Then auto bid

You forgot Houston…

I agree with you, 24 is the right number

CameronG

Great analysis. Pretty amazing to think about how that would've been!

I'd be happy with 16. 99% of the time it would be hard to argue that any viable

16 isn't bad and it's better than 12

Again J Beck 2006 BYU would've been left out, & that team could've beaten almost

RUNBYU1

Certainly agreed. Should've been 16 at a MINIMUM, but 24 is a better number

Heck, why not make it 128 teams?

The funniest part about this is the disrespect to Utah aka Red BYU

Walter Sobchak

6:48am

Not really. Utah squeeking past Big12 power team, BYU demolishing another.

That’s exactly why it’s funny because Utah was so highly touted in preseason and

B12 a one bid league, and BYU gets the only bid? Wild prediction.

Clickbait. I’m sorry but two weeks ago I was just hoping for 8 wins.

I think most of us had BYU getting a 1st rd bye then hosting Georgia

We'd be playing JMU.

The nice thing is even if we lose 63-7 to Georgia, there's no shame in that.

My explanation is that we have an active fanbase and clicks are valuable.
