you'll never get a purely merit system - why would the people with power yield the power for no reason?

Welp. UCONN's not happy

Sounds like someone who is delusional about the worth of UCONN

Is that not a common affliction for fans of all teams?

DoseOfReality

UConn should focus their energy on becoming competitive in football and putting

UCONN went to a BCS Bowl.

SaintGeorgeYFan

To be fair, they have been to a BCS bowl

CougarVeteran

Love how one bcs game can overcome decades of horrible football

BYU '80

Especially an automatic berth in a BCS bowl. News flash guys - going to a BCS bowl is not proof of anything

In general it proves that a team had an elite regular season.

ManBearPig

10/26/16 9:04pm

Or that everyone they played was not very good

YIsForBrigham

10/26/16 9:12pm

That's why I said in general. But usually a team that wins all their games is

Nice cherry picking

CougarVeteran

10/26/16 8:31pm

UCONN was my choice

YIsForBrigham

10/26/16 8:34pm

Uh Missouri has won multiple sec and big 12 division titles

BYU '80

10/26/16 11:19pm

Giving several examples is hardly cherry picking

BYU '80

10/26/16 11:20pm

You took one aspect of what I stated, "BCS" and that is all

CougarVeteran

Kansas went to one too

If they would just make the playoff 8 teams and add a spot for the best G5 champ

The problem with relaxing transfer restriction is that while some guys would

That would be the case, Bama would never lose.

Dissenter

10/26/16 3:48pm

They transfer down fairly often, you just never hear about those.

Scratch

10/26/16 3:53pm

because they aren't high-profile names, which is my point.

Dissenter

10/26/16 3:59pm

We should be careful with our language - when speaking of expanding the playoff to 8 teams we should always seek a

HarlemCoug

10/26/16 10:08pm

I think you expand to 12 or 16, at least ideally (not that ideal and CFB have ever met)

CougarVeteran

10/26/16 10:43pm

this is so lame

Dissenter

10/26/16 11:22pm

Should the regular season matter, should teams be eliminated from the championship before the season starts?

CougarVeteran

10/27/16 12:02am

They can play if they schedule up and beat someone. They don't deserve to go over better teams just because they play in

YIsForBrigham

10/27/16 12:06am

Yes, the regular season matters. Thats why the Sun Belt should never be in

Dissenter

10/27/16 7:57am

why? shouldn't it be based on merit? I think teams should play in based on wins

insidebyu

10/27/16 12:54am

yes it should be based on merit - that's why it makes no sense under the current rules that if we're ranked

HarlemCoug

10/27/16 8:03am

That isn't based on merit though. Based purely on merit would be ZERO auto bids

Dissenter

you'll never get a purely merit system - why would the people with power yield the power for no reason?

HarlemCoug

10/27/16 10:44am

They won't... And I'm not even saying they should

Dissenter

10/27/16 10:52am

If there was an 8 team playoff I would be happy to join a G5.

shakinbaker

10/27/16 1:39am

Frankly this is what needs to happen. The P5s are monopolistic.

byujdmba

10/26/16 3:35pm

Considering that BYU is worth more than 1/2 (looking at you Utah) we have a case

jrifkin48

Orrin Hatch has about as much influence

OliverGranger

10/26/16 5:49pm

ND's playoff payout is like 10X more than BYU's... how is that legal?

Hill4Heisman

10/26/16 7:15pm

Doesn't matter because BYU will never earn a playoff payout.

ManBearPig

10/26/16 8:59pm

That's not true. BYU received a CFP payout this year

YIsForBrigham

10/26/16 9:13pm

The payouts don't go only to schools and their conferences that participate?

ManBearPig

10/26/16 9:23pm

No. Everyone gets some

YIsForBrigham

10/26/16 9:25pm

So how are the shares determined?

ManBearPig

10/26/16 9:47pm

I'm too lazy to look actuals but BYU got something like $200K and ND got $2.5M.
