The SEC absolutely wants an 8 team playoff. Both teams in the SECCG along with

the third best team. 4 team playoff got them LSU, 8 team playoff gets them LSU, UGA, and Alabama.

McMurphy: ADs overwhelmingly support CFP expansion, when current contract expire

I can probably guess who the 12% who didn't want it are

4/8/20 7:14am

13 ADs - probably almost exclusively SEC and Big Ten schools is my guess.

I'm not sure about the Big Ten. While they have gotten into the playoff a lot,

BYU needs to start lobbying P5 ADs right now to include top-rated non-P5 team

But Notre Dame is our BFF in independence 😉

4/8/20 10:59am

Plus Wyoming, Colo State, SDSU (et al) are still butt-hurt about independence

The Independence v. Conference Affiliation analysis changes with an auto G5 bid

That settles it. The big debate will be how to implement.

All conference champs getting auto-bids would force us to join a conference

I respectfully disagree, partially...

AAC might be tops, but likely will not get that spot 9 out of 10 times. Maybe

The MWC is a contender for the g5 bid, for sure.

Doogal McCougar

4/8/20 10:56am

Only the P5 conf champs would be included. One G5 and 2 at large (P5).

Ugh, 16 teams is worse than 4. Teams with legitimate chances of winning the CFP

You could say the same thing about March Madness...12-14 conferences that have

I like 16 too. Then all conf champs and 5 at large. Round 1&2 at higher seed.

4/8/20 12:22pm

I like all-champs CFP model, but would have play-in games, not 16-team model

Doogal McCougar

4/9/20 10:17am

Would you do 12 teams then with 10 champs plus 2 at-large?

jreid191

4/9/20 11:03am

I see it more more like the WCC tournament. 14 teams - 10 champs, 4 wild cards

Doogal McCougar

I don't see a 5 round playoff ever happening in CFB. Even the NFL only has 4.
