I know it makes too much sense so it will never happen - but I wish they would

just get rid of rankings altogether. It would be so nice if college could have definite rules about who is in/out of the playoffs the way the NFL does.

But I realize it will never happen.

Expand the playoffs to 20 to 24

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

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

B1G and SEC could lose control of the bias they’ve created. Won’t happen.

yup, it's clear that it's not about money, it's about control. They have no

This or 24 with the top 8 getting byes

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

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.

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

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!

AlternateShot

3:39pm

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

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

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.

idcougarfan

3:39pm

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

Tare

3:40pm

lol basically any SEC team with a winning record would be in

canuckchuck

3:38pm

24 would be perfect. Top 2 teams in each P4 conference get a bye. If the FCS

CougarTwins

3:40pm

16 is the most I'd go

Schrodizzy

3:44pm

Do 20 teams. Top 4 from each P4 are in. Two at large, two G5 champs. The two at large and G5 play one of the 4th place

RealTaysomHill

4:03pm

Too many. . . Plus, you really think Louisville should be in?

Zoobieman

6:41pm

No one wants to see #1 vs #16. Need first round byes for the strongest teams

refunder

4:32pm

#1 vs #16. . . You really don't want to see BYU vs Oregon or Texas?

Zoobieman

6:42pm

24 team playoff - 10 conference champs, 14 at-large
