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

And the couple of BIIIIIG regular season games we lose would be replaced by

That hasn’t happened to the NFL

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.

How often does that happen outside of maybe an Alabama vs (insert SEC rival)

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

But it doesn't conference championship weekend is going to award 6 autobids and

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

GlutealGuy

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.

Absolutely. I've always been perplexed why college football doesn't cash in on

Will still matter quite a bit IMO. Could be the difference between a first round

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

For the SEC yes not for the rest of the conferences. There is an auto bid on

Agree, so dumb. CFB has already killed the regular season

cougfanz

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

Blue Cat

Good. Bowls should die.

jvquarterback

I’d rather have Bowls than no postseason.

Absolutely. Currently college football is only truly intriguing enjoyable to
