[Vowelguy]

lol
Even worse than the March madness 96

 

[Vowelguy]

It’ll probably be
10 B1G
10 SEC
3 ACC
3 B12
1 G5
1 at large

The only way 28 gets mass interest is with autobids for every conference.
7 bids fir the big is a joke

28 teams would mean more teams in FBS football make the playoff than D1 basketball teams making March Madness by percentage. CFB used to be the sport with the most important regular season in all of American sports. Laughable.

Every other division of football has a 16 team playoff and it work well. That's where the D1 should go.

If you eliminate conference championships at what point does it make sense to eliminate conferences? The ACC already took a step in that direction with unequal revenue distribution. At some point do we just go to a "every man for himself" model? The logic is pretty much the same. "We want to reward teams who invest in college football"

If the proposal of 7-7-5-5 for the P4 comes to fruition then I think that actually “saves” the ACC and B12. Let’s be honest, the 5th best in those conferences are mediocre.

No auto bids for every conference in a playoff this size is a joke

 

[uconndogs]

They will continue to chase every potential dollar right past the point where they ruin college football.

So much for player’s health. I guess since they’re getting paid it doesn’t matter. Longer season, more hits, still developing brains.

I guess my idea of a 40 team playoff wasn't all that far fetched.

The only difference is I would have a receiving votes tourney whoever wins that plays the 25th ranked in order to get into 25 team tournament. Then teams 16 and under play each other to get into field of 16 as explained in that other thread. Then you have a 16 team tourney. Lowest ranked team always plays highest ranked team thus being ranked higher does matter.

I would still have conference championship games so it would make the regular season meaningful there's extra motivation to being in the top 15, you lose on championship week it's possible you go from having to win 4 games (falling out of top 15) to all of the sudden having to win at minimum 5 possibly 9 games to win it all in the 25 team tourney.

No regular season, double elimination tournament for every team in FBS
