Have 16 teams and more than just P5. conf champs can get bids. Why limit G5 to just one spot?

16 team = 4 games to determine a NC which seems like a lot for a FB post-season

Agree. Far too many and would never be considered.

Everyman

4/8/21 9:18am

Far too many for what??? You are saying that 16 games is just too much for 2

Thrill

4/8/21 10:27am

Too many participants.

Everyman

Seems like a lot for a FB postseason?

I like conference play to mean more. 2nd in P5 conference shouldn't have a shot

If you want the conference season to mean something, make it a 10-team playoff.

4/8/21 11:38am

10 is a weird number and the extra 2 guarantees aren't worth another week of

I understand your sentiment. I was just responding to your post.

2nd in P5 has a chance right now. 2nd in P5 has a chance w/ 2 team playoff ('12)

With 16 teams, 2nd in P5 conference will be a for sure thing. CCs will mean a

Thank you for bringing reality to this conversation! 4 is not too many. It's

Current system makes most games NOT matter.

Soupie

4/8/21 10:01am

This is a huge lie. Most games are meaningless. Very few actually matter.

Baron

4/8/21 10:09am

This it is such a bad argument

johnnybyu

4/8/21 3:25pm

I like 16 so all champions and no byes. Completely unfair if there are first

ImuaKahuku

Its actually the opposite. It would make more games important as teams are

TX HS football has 6 games to win it all and CA has 6.

Anything less than 16 is an extension of the current problem

Exactly

RUNBYU1

8 teams fixes a lot of problem w/o blowing up the season length.

wilsdad

4/8/21 9:35am

16 teams doesn’t change a thing for all but 8 teams in the country.

Refugee

4/8/21 10:00am

Exactly this ^^^^^^

Greg4BYU

4/8/21 10:08am

I voted 12 because I like the idea of rewarding the top 4 with a bye.

Mises

4/8/21 9:42am

That's why to me it needs to be 16

Cougero

4/8/21 9:52am

8 teams, 5 P5 Champs, 2 guaranteed G5 spots, 1 at large. Done.

ray ray

4/8/21 10:04am

16 teams, 8 auto bids and 8 at large. Might be 1st round slaughters at first but it will improve. Need to earn the NC.

Soupie

4/8/21 10:08am

You know the SEC will be taking 2-3 slots in that scenario Conference play needs

ray ray

4/8/21 10:10am

You have 8 conf champs auto bids. That means 4-5 teams who would otherwise not get a chance at least.

Soupie

4/8/21 10:11am

It also means probably top 2 from all P5s make it. Ughh

ray ray

4/8/21 10:14am

Aren't there 10 conferences? The G5 and the P5?

Perseguir

4/8/21 1:56pm

What conferences get auto-bids? Obviously the P5, but what about the rest?

krindorr

4/8/21 10:21am

1 G5, 2 at-large (could still be G5)

krindorr

4/8/21 10:18am

16 Teams, 11 Auto bids (ALL - conference champs, including one for independents)

Cougero

4/8/21 10:19am

I could go with this but think you need 16 for it to really work.

Soupie

4/8/21 10:21am

Independents doesn't make sense here

krindorr

4/8/21 10:22am

Nope. Totally unfair.

Elwood Blues

4/8/21 2:27pm

I like the 12 team option. Give the top teams a bye and have the auto bid lower

LaserCoug

4/8/21 10:21am

My favorite playoff expansion scenario is 6 "P5" Conferences that must maintain

This all depends on the setup

For all practical purposes the P5 already have the first round with the CC

Nat Gas Man

4/8/21 10:33am

Which is why a 16 team scenario doesn't work

I think 8 Teams is correct with certain restrictions....

LEDSFW

4/8/21 12:11pm

If no mutliple bids from conferences, that requires 3 G5 invites

krindorr

4/8/21 1:17pm

16. 10 winners of division 1 football conference auto bid. 6 at large.

Chefcurry

4/8/21 12:56pm

Pretty common to have Top 10 teams who didn't win their conf.

Changed to 8, because I think it could happen.

12 - 16 schools adds four weeks to the schedule so no real difference in weeks
