If it goes to 16 teams, which honestly would be awesome... what happens to bowl games?

Are they officially done?

If the money is pretty similar Pac-12 probably stays together

Since he's an expert in his field I'm feeling the same way.

I think many programs in the P-10 and B-12 will benefit from losing the heavies in their leagues. Hopefully BYU thrives

For the PAC,ORE and WASH have been the "heavies" for the last several years.

Pains me to say it, but you have to include UU in that (for the past few years)

When I say heavies, I am thinking of a program that wins multiple championships over 5 to 10 years- or longer...

This is massively understated and a major benefit…

Yeah, seems like OU and UT are selling their birthrights for a mess of pottage

There is every incentive for autonomous conferences staying intact,

First couple of rounds at the higher seed. Still room for many bowls.

16 team playoff will feel like NCAA tournament. Rest of bowls will feel like NIT

The playoffs going to 16 makes the most sense. And if admins and others say they can’t do it because of classes and

If B12 & P10 $ similar, wouldn't UO & UW moving to B12 increase their payouts?

8/10/22 1:12pm

Unless they get unequal sharing

RGGeemer

And wouldn’t adding any of the following decrease their per team payouts?…

by such a small amount it would be pointless considering it would be wiped away

flyzag

Yep. And right now, if we're being honest, Utah, UW and Oregon would have a markedly easier path

Anything less than 16 is STUPID.

8/10/22 1:22pm

I prefer 12 and 24 to 16. This gives fewer games to teams more likely to go far.

I thought 12 was reasonable. But because of P5 bias 16 is the best and would

Can't believe we don't have a 16 team playoff yet.

Hard to disagree with any of that.
