Theoretical CFP bracket based on the FCS playoff format.

Thanks for sharing. Good reminder that it would be terrible.

Reminder that a G6 non champ beat a semifinal team on that semifinal team’s home

I’m afraid of being bored to death watching Marshall and Jacksonville State waste everybody’s time

TCuz

Jan 2, 8:24pm

Don’t watch till the semis then

CameronG

Jan 2, 8:26pm

Yet there you would be... watching. With millions of others.

shoganai

Jan 2, 8:28pm

Nobody would watch this and nobody will cause it will never happen. Cause it’s a terrible idea.

TCuz

Jan 2, 8:32pm

You're probably right. I mean, just imagine if ESPN put all those teams in

shoganai

Jan 2, 8:35pm

Bowls suck. Your format is great. Just the wrong teams.

Ohio vs Jacksonville State got less than 1m viewers this bowl season. You said “millions.”

TCuz

This is a fantastic post. Maybe the most on-brand one you've ever made.

It would be better if they did play each other. At least it would be a good game

They don’t. But it shows that nobody wants to watch these guys play football

There are functional differences between football and basketball. You can play 100 basketball games a year

"Obtuse" is an adjective, a description. It is not a name.

I used to think your elitist attitude was just a schtick

CameronG

Jan 2, 9:00pm

And I have no idea who you are.

TCuz

Jan 2, 9:05pm

Perfectly on brand response from you, you think you’re better than everyone else

You aren’t by chance a UofU professor with pac12 consulting experience are you?

TCuz hates March Madness, too many teams for his liking

CameronG

Jan 2, 8:56pm

Love all the home games. Fans can't travel to 4 bowl games.

Art Director

Jan 2, 8:00pm

Have to imagine they'll kick the bowl games out of bed eventually and go heavily

shoganai

Jan 2, 8:06pm

Exciting, inclusive, football to be won on the field

CameronG

Jan 2, 8:07pm

That’s a lot of playoff games 😂

Hufflepuff

Jan 2, 8:08pm

Yep. That's the best part, IMO.

shoganai

Jan 2, 8:09pm

It would be awesome.

Groym

Barf. Give G5 or whatever their own championship.

I mean, there's a plausible chance that's where we're headed, except it will be

shoganai

Jan 2, 8:15pm

Yep. All home games until the finals, but let's have good teams instead of

Methusaleh22

Jan 2, 8:17pm

If we're only interested in teams that have a plausible chance of winning...

shoganai

Jan 2, 8:19pm

You mean a tournament without Notre Dame and Ohio St?

Methusaleh22

Jan 2, 8:25pm

You could make an argument for six. But you certainly don't need 12.

I don't get what you mean by invitational. Anyone can earn their way into the

Methusaleh22

Not entirely true. If there are ever multiple undefeated G5s, very good chance

shoganai

Jan 2, 8:33pm

Millions more would watch Colorado-SMU than would watch Jacksonville-SMU.

Untrue. If the worst team in college football this year goes 13-0 and beats 2 P4

I added to my post the example of Boise St. A loss and no P4 wins. Got in.

Better way to say it, in every other college sport conference champs qualify for

This ignores the fact they're are a lot more playoff spots for every other sport

The point is you're leaving out quality teams like Colorado and adding garbage.

March Madness is an invitational tournament. They just give an invite to each

russkiejedi

Jan 2, 9:34pm

As chilawcoug said a lot more conferences

CameronG

Jan 2, 9:16pm

Not sure how percentages became a point. You're leaving 14 at large spots

Methusaleh22

Jan 2, 9:23pm

The vast majority of those conferences get only one berth. And there are 68

russkiejedi

Jan 2, 9:30pm

It’s about the same ratio
