I think my favorite playoff suggestion is 20 team playoff.

cougarfann888

3:48pm

24 in FCS works really well.

kimdaddy35

3:49pm

Doesn’t the playoff get too long? It would be half as long as the season.

TarCoug

3:53pm

5 weeks compared to the 4 now.

kimdaddy35

4:03pm

Ok, maybe I slightly exaggerated haha

TarCoug

4:05pm

No, 12 is enough. They just need to tweak the seeding and it will be fine.

DudeBro

3:50pm

I don't think the seeding is the problem...it's the rankings we're just wrong!!

You realize Clemson had to be in right? Via winning the ACC?

If you are not top 3 in your conference you have no business playing for a NC.

Just do 16 with no buys. Wouldn't really have to change anything.

Well who is the best NFC QB? Stafford? Hurts? Either way—Lamar Jackson, Allen, Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow for sure. Then I

He really likes to throw to and/or fumble to players on the opposing team.

Yes. The kick's chiro dad helped with his groin injury.
