Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 1067023, member: 2920"] You beat me to the punch! However, I'll say this: while ND might lobby for a 8 team playoff, conference schools Presidents might not want that. It would mean adding at least another week to the season and that's a tough sell when the school's athletes are supposedly students. Look how long it took them to relent about a 4 team playoff despite years/decades of public outcry about not having a "true champion" (in some years). I suppose they could eliminate a bye week here and there but TV execs like this so that they can entice some schools/conferences to play Thursday/Friday night games. You can't ask college teams to play a Thurs/Fri night game after having just played the previous Saturday. The pros don't like doing it and they get [I]real paid [/I](Beck voice). [/QUOTE]
