How often does that happen outside of maybe an Alabama vs (insert SEC rival)
game? Do a few big time games for a small handful of teams really outweigh a bunch of big and meaningful games for a lot of teams?

The dumbest argument I see on the internet is that a 12 team playoff kills the

But there are BIIIIIIG regular season games. That won’t be the case anymore.

In the second half of the season, teams are all playing conference games

The NFL has players for more than 4 years and there are 32 teams.

Bama fills their stadium for an Oct game against Austin Peay. They’ll be fine.

College bball and football are not comparable. There are 32 plus games vs 12.

On the other hand, we'll likely get more big non-conference games as some teams

That’s a good point and would be a great side affect.

I fear the opposite. Why risk playing a tough team?

You example kind of proves the OP's point though. Outside of top 5 teams (which

12 team playoff means byes, that leaves tons of incentive to be a bye team.

I think the argument should be that it makes championship weekend meaningless

The byes do make it better, I’m against the idea of 16 teams

I think it kills the importance of the conference championship in many cases.

That’s a benefit. Drop conference championship in five years and expand to 24.

But as it currently stands (might change), the top 4 champions get the bye.

It kills bowl games even further. Lowers the bar for top teams.

Good. Bowls should die.

It’s the same ridiculous argument made about the NCAA hoops tournament.

The NCAA hoops tournament does make the regular season meaningless.

Not at all. It allows teams to improve and continue fighting for a berth...
