Yeah that's dumb. I'd be fine with the top four of each conference playing a mini tournament. But whatever.

40 teams? With the current timeline, the basketball championship would be decided quicker.

I reaaly hope there's an alternative.

How would power conferences having a small four team playoff within the conference to determine the conference champion ruin college football?

Because it does nothing to improve it.

I can hear it now. It's the first Monday of April, and the Final Four Championship coverage comes back from a commercial break, with Ian Eagle proclaiming, "Next weekend, A tradition unlike any other. The Masters. Only on CBS. And don't forget in two weeks. Tune in to see who gets to raise the College Football Championship. Followed immediately by the first round of the NFL draft."

Yeah, that'll be great.

Ever heard of the regular season?

I have. I also see the NFL season going longer and don't see a legitimate reason you couldn't extend the college season a little longer. The networks would love it, and let's stop pretending these are anything but paid athletes at this point. Cut some meaningless bowls, add a few more relevant games.... It can be done if you stop clinging to an outdated model.

Why do people get hung up on "meaningless bowls" They are a reward for the teams that are in them, if you don't like the particular bowl, bug off and don't watch.

The last thing I want to see is more average p4 teams in a playoff

also people forget you get a near full month of additional practice. Which is incredible incentive for players to play for bowl bound schools.

Bowls were always exhibitions meant to bring in money. They are worth what you want out of them.

You're telling me with a straight face bowls mean as much as they used to?

Nobody wants CFB to be more like the NFL.

in my opinion...this CFP went way to long. Yesterday, I barely even knew about the national championship game especially since everyone was focused on the divisional round result and now conference championship matches.

I prefer 4 team playoff by far.

They absolutely need to re-think when the national title game is played. Between NFL playoffs all weekend, MLK day and the Presidential Inauguration, the CFP title had virtually zero hype leading up to the game yesterday

I was kinda surprised they didn't go for Thursday. The nfl has turned Thursday into a football day, may as well use it. Nobody casually goes to the bar on a Monday.

You can look across social media and every public forum and see that sentiment. You’re out of touch.

99% of fans want to preserve thr sanctity of the regular season.

People want a less convoluted post season. Win and you're in. Lose and you're out. That's what people want, that's what my model grants. Eliminate committees and decision makers altogether. Win and you're in, lose and you're out. It's not rocket science, what I'm proposing.

In reading between the lines of everyone pushing for expansion after a single year of the 12 team playoff, I've come to the conclusion that they don't care how many teams are in the tournament so long as Alabama is included...for reasons.

I like the expanded playoff over the 4 team configuration, but I wasn't super crazy about the seeding, and I think the timeline/scheduling is a complete abomination.

I wrote in the other thread (The expanded College Football Playoff off to a rough start, which is where this discussion belongs):

"Either Untie the Quarterfinals from the Bowls or untie the Bowls from New Years Day. There is still nearly 2 full weeks between the 1st round and New Years Day as the [referenced] article currently proposes.

A 4-round tournament should last just over three weeks, beginning to end."

There was roughly an extra half week between each round of the playoff. It's totally unnecessary and defuses any momentum, drama, what-have-you, the previous round(s) generated. Also, I don't see the byes being much of an advantage at all. Certainly not over home field. The bye teams go roughly three weeks between games, are rusty, and play their first game after the aforementioned three weeks on a "neutral" bowl field vs an opponent who are game ready.

This doesn’t matter to the cartel. You think they give a shit about the fans?

Adding playoffs to the playoffs makes it more convoluted.
