Get rid of CCG games and just do this:

That takes away the fun of crowing a true conference champion

Once conferences are so big that you don’t play everyone, they become less

Rexy Coug

12:28pm

A better alternative (suggested by someone I read somewhere) is to have game 12

TailgateU

Could even be fun to have cross conference games the week of CCG

PHXSUNS31

No. Each conference should have a 4 team conf playoff.

Icelandic Cougar

5 extra games for the champion is like an extra half-season.

OPINIONS

12:02pm

shorten the regular season to 11. 16 games max.

We're already there. If a Round 1 team plays in the CCG and then plays for natty

Doogal McCougar

1 CCG and 4 (max) CFP games currently. So no different if you eliminate the CCG

I'd say do both. Make the final weekend conference championship weekend. Have

Careful. People love first round byes for undeserving teams around here.

I like this concept....

BYU Grounds

12:13pm

This looks great BUT... Making the postseason better at the expense of the regular season isn't appealing to me. I enjoy

HarlemCoug

12:13pm

That’s not true re cutting regular season unless you count CCGs as regular seaso

chilawcoug

12:25pm

I do count them as regular season. The worry is injury. By the time a national champion is crowned it's not crazy to

HarlemCoug

2:24pm

There is no reason to include teams like Ohio, Marshall, and Jacksonville State

RealTaysomHill

12:15pm

If they play in the same FBS level, they absolutely should be included.

Doogal McCougar

12:21pm

Auto bids to all conf champs ranked 20 or higher

byuTX

12:25pm

If you have a 24-team playoff, it seems like you'd have to give autobids out to

thewaterboy

12:52pm

He wants it down to 16, so it would do some work

chilawcoug

12:53pm

Unranked teams don't deserve a shot

byuTX

12:55pm

No, they shouldn’t. We don’t have to pretend like a 9-4 Jacksonville State might be the best team in the country

RealTaysomHill

12:29pm

We all know UMBC sucks. No way they are as good as Virginia. UVA is the number 1

chilawcoug

12:31pm

Stop pretending like basketball and football are the same

RealTaysomHill

12:38pm

Stop pretending that they aren’t similar

chilawcoug

12:41pm

It took a long time for a 16 to upset a 1, but those games are getting more and

CameronG

12:45pm

The increase in 15 seeds and 16 seeds winning also coincides decently well with

chilawcoug

12:48pm

then kick them out of the FBS. That's a better solution than having them get beat up on national tv.

HarlemCoug

2:25pm

Let's also get rid of the 13-16 seeds in the NCAA bball tournament. No reason to include teams like them.

SierraCoug

12:22pm

In a 68 team playoff in football, we can include them. But not now. Especially when basketball and football are so

RealTaysomHill

12:25pm

It’s actually about the same ratio because there are fewer FBS conferences

chilawcoug

12:27pm

You misunderstand what I’m saying

RealTaysomHill

12:38pm

But there are fewer BS teams than D1 basketball teams, so that negates the

chilawcoug

12:40pm

Everyone needs to remember these clever ideas when we roll out the new national championship playoff

Underhill

12:19pm

Replace undeserving teams like Ohio, Marshall, Jacksonville to get it down to 16. No byes, 4 weeks. 1st 2 home sites

byuTX

12:22pm

Or let them in so it’s a playoff where every team 100% controls their own

chilawcoug

12:28pm

No thanks. Let them earn a spot rather than give it to them

byuTX

12:34pm

Hahahaha earning a spot is exactly what I’m advocating. If an invitational is so

chilawcoug

12:35pm

Quite the opposite. Let them in if they can make it ~top 20

byuTX

12:36pm

“We’ll let the NCF West champion in if a committee with unlimited discretion

chilawcoug

12:39pm

The "NCF West champion" made its team up of drafted players, trades and FA's with a salary cap, collective bargaining,

byuTX

12:42pm

Okay substitute any sport or any league you want.

chilawcoug

12:43pm

Find me a sport where the resources are so different within the same division, whose teams aren't acquired through draft

byuTX

12:46pm

Every other college sport and division?

chilawcoug

12:49pm

there isn't a sport close to as different from biggest spender to lowest as FBS FB. The real solution is G5/P4 split

byuTX

12:51pm

You don’t think that D1 basketball is similar or even close? lol

chilawcoug

12:52pm

You do? lol

byuTX

12:55pm

Yeah I think the difference between Duke basketball and Coppin State basketball

chilawcoug

12:59pm

I don't. Coppin State, if good enough to get the 16 has a better shot vs. a #1 Duke than JSU has at Oregon. Not close.

byuTX

2:17pm

And who decides if they're Top 20? How do they "prove it" if the big boys

CameronG

12:51pm

Through the magic of sight

byuTX

2:17pm

Like figure skating. No thanks.

mvtoro

2:33pm

I think it makes sense…put top 4 from each P4, each G5 champ, 3 at-large
