24 teams. Every conference champ gets in. First three rounds at home sites. Rose

This would be way more fun.

Not all champs deserve a bid. Marshall couldn't even field a team. This CFP has shown that more teams isn’t the answer

We've had enough of committees and computers deciding who "deserves" to be in.

Jan 1, 7:13pm

If you win a conference that has good teams then you deserve to be in. Most years one or no G6

Here's an idea. Let's have the lowly G5 champions play some games against the

It’s so different that it’s not even comparable. Let highly ranked teams play. Give an autobid to one G6 to avoid legal

The argument that FBS college football is so uniquely "different" and beyond

Within FBS is where the difference is. Most of the CFP games haven’t been competitive and you think adding

Yet somehow FCS has been doing it for years...

Jan 1, 7:42pm

All those g6 should drop to FCs and compete with them. Much better fit

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you're in favor of divisional

shoganai

Jan 1, 7:48pm

Very possible. But what you don’t want is equality. You want to give everyone a trophy

byuTX

Jan 1, 7:51pm

Total nonsense. I want exactly one trophy.

shoganai

Jan 1, 7:52pm

You don’t want them to earn it you want it given to them without having to compete during the season

byuTX

Jan 1, 8:13pm

That is not even close to an accurate summary of my argument. Completely unfair

shoganai

Jan 1, 8:15pm

How would you rearrange the conferences to make them somewhat equal? How would you convince blue bloods and networks?

byuTX

Jan 1, 8:33pm

You don't need equal conferences. You don't have those in any other sport and

Jan 1, 8:43pm

There is no pro league with gaps between the top and bottom conferences like you

Literally every college sport has gaps of that size, if not bigger, including

shoganai

Jan 1, 9:13pm

Not close. And it’s going to be an even wider gap when top teams start sharing 20 million a year with players. Kennesaw

I think that assertion simply doesn't stand up to any objective analysis

Of course it does - the gap between a top and bottom football team is much

I just completely disagree. I don't think there's any way you can look at the

NIU has been an FBS team for over 40 years, they're not the comparison between a

So, it turns out you actually agree with me on the gap issue.

Nah, not unless you're making an argument about it that I didn't catch above.

16 seeds in basketball have a 2-154 all-time record. I don't think you can make

You keep comparing apples to oranges. A 9/24 play-in round wouldn't be

russkiejedi

Jan 2, 2:46pm

I can and do because it is. But what you want can't, won't and shouldn't happen

byuTX

Jan 2, 9:44am

Not even close.

russkiejedi

Jan 1, 10:36pm

Yeah, the current format gives the G5 a shot. A G5 team got the 3 seed and a bye

russkiejedi

Jan 1, 8:06pm

The problem is we currently have very unbalanced conferences and this will not

Why is this such a perplexing problem? It doesn't stop any other major college

Have alwaya thought this would be the beat format. Aligns with the traditional

Until a team actually ranked outside the top 10 wins a game…

There's no "need" to have any teams. College football did just fine when it had

It has never been more popular than ever and I thought you wanted to prove it on the field?

One game has been decided by a single score. Average margin of victory is 17 points. And your solution is to let Ohio,

It depends on what problem you think needs solving.

Who doesn’t have access to the playoffs?

Approximately half of each season's conference champions and several other

They do have access though. BYU could have gone to the playoffs this year. So could any G5 conference champion.

RealTaysomHill

Jan 2, 3:22pm

You and I have different opinions on what that means.

shoganai

Jan 2, 3:35pm

If BYU went undefeated, would we have gone to the playoffs?

RealTaysomHill

Jan 2, 3:41pm

I understand your argument. I just don't have quite the same view on it.

shoganai

Jan 2, 6:54pm

Why are people so concerned about lopsided games?
