I think the only way you fix college football is to expand the playoff to 16.

Autobids for all G5 conferences should never and will never happen

LiveCoug

1/11/21 10:38pm

if autobids for all 10 conferences doesn't happen it continues to be a sham..

BYU Grounds

Not really buddy

This conversation has been had before. It shouldn't happen and the comparison

LiveCoug

1/11/21 10:43pm

Why? This brings more competition to college football...

BYU Grounds

1/11/21 10:46pm

Because it way overvalues G5 champions. Why should buffalo be rewarded

Who cares? Seriously, who cares who wins the WAC/MWC/MAC?

Whether YOU care or not, every once in a while you get a team that can make a ru

“Every once and awhile” shouldn’t give them the same chance as a conference

Alpi Gusto

Why not?

niqmadu

1/12/21 9:17am

Because they aren’t one of the best teams

Alpi Gusto

I bet a lot of people hated watching all of the upsets in march madness.

Cougar TD

1/12/21 11:10am

And that is the thinking of the P5...who cares who wins the non-P5 championships

Cougar TD

Ah so you like football to be women's gymnastics. Got it.

I'm fine with the underdog story. But not fine with rewarding CUSA champ just

LiveCoug

Monopolies are monopolies specifically because they restrict competition.

EtTuKalante

1/11/21 11:09pm

Why, the rule is that you need to win your conference championship

Any undefeated G5 team would easily get an invite to a 16-team playoff.

garyfan

1/11/21 10:53pm

“Easily”? Did you not learn from BYUs rankings this year?

puntersarepeople

1/11/21 10:59pm

An undefeated BYU team would easily be in the top 16.

ManicBlue

1/11/21 11:28pm

Because they blew almost everyone out and played a few decent name brand teams

puntersarepeople

1/11/21 11:37pm

Name brand teams? Only BSU. BYU's ranking this season is consistent with

Cincinnati, CC, and Liberty (had they not lost to NC St by one point) all were

Then you can put a max number of losses a team can have to qualify for an

or just that they have to be in the top 25 of a composite computer ranking

ManicBlue

1/11/21 11:29pm

But there’s something special about the autobid, including a ranking system

Duke Silver

1/11/21 11:32pm

Generally, it wouldn't be an issue but it could work against a P5 conference the

ManicBlue

1/12/21 11:48pm

That’s actually pretty simple

puntersarepeople

1/11/21 11:38pm

All that would do is discourage P5 teams from scheduling quality OOC games.

garyfan

1/12/21 12:22am

Meanwhile a 3 loss Iowa State makes it. Shouldn't have to be undefeated.

RUNBYU1

1/13/21 11:47am

I agree. Undefeated isn’t the requirement. My point is that I believe we have

garyfan

1/13/21 12:12pm

I think it should happen. Even if it’s some kind of play in games to get there

cougarfann888

1/11/21 10:46pm

Why? It works for basketball. G5 teams will never have a chance unless they're

ManicBlue

1/11/21 11:26pm

It works for basketball because there are significantly more at large bids

LiveCoug

1/12/21 8:10am

there are also significantly more D1 basketball programs too

ManicBlue

1/12/21 3:28pm

Yes, but the many at large spots go to good teams. There are plenty.

LiveCoug

1/12/21 3:38pm

Six at large spots in the CFB should be plenty

ManicBlue

1/12/21 4:54pm

It would be 5 and that's not enough to make up for UTSA or toledo

LiveCoug

1/12/21 5:00pm

How do you know if they don't get a chance to play? Btw, why are you using

ManicBlue

1/12/21 5:13pm

I think UTSA won it this year

puntersarepeople

1/12/21 5:42pm

Pretty sure it was UAB beating Marshall in the conf. championship

Oh that’s right

No way the P5 invites that many G5’s to their party. I think the best case

This is the more likely scenario if expanded to 8 teams, P5s still keep most $

You have to appease the powers that be without being too greedy...

1/11/21 10:57pm

Auto bids will never happen, which is why it MUST be 24 teams. BYU would likely

RUNBYU1

1/11/21 11:23pm

Just split the G5 back into their own division. The NCAA screwed up royally when

Expand and limit scholarships. Both are needed
