At large it is likely the dominant SEC will have the majority of the top 12 teams. It gives more teams in the SEC a chance to get in.

This is one thing that is appealing about the Big 12

There isn't going to be a 12 team playoff now...

Fans are gonna riot after getting teased with a 12 team playoff and it

Kajdin

Fans only leverage is if playoff games have decreased ratings

TNT

8/2/21 6:14pm

Which they have pretty much year after year

Kajdin

I'd be willing to boycott playoffs if it stays at 4 or moves to 8 instead...

I tend to agree.

There will be a recommendation for more than a 4 team playoff.

Eddie

disagree, I think there will still be a 12 team playoff

I think it still makes sense for college football.

Being in the MWC is the highest chance to make playoffs every year

IndepYndent

8/2/21 5:53pm

Not even close, the AAC will always rank higher, and the SOC in the MW

Pretorian

8/3/21 4:35am

We are talking 12 Team playoff, right?

IndepYndent

8/3/21 8:26am

Yep, 6 conference champs of which the MW will unlikely ever be…

Pretorian

8/3/21 9:52am

I disagree

IndepYndent

8/3/21 9:55am

I already Caveated BSU, no other MW team, including BYU, if we were in there

Pretorian

Indy automatically knocks yourself out of the playoff race

CougarCanuck76

8/2/21 5:56pm

Top 6 at large bids would exist

IndepYndent

8/2/21 6:03pm

don't expect the recommendation to even get a second look now. They will start

Nat Gas Man

nah it's good

IndepYndent

If CFP expanded. That may longer be the case.

Did you already forget about Iowa State getting picked over BYU last year? BYU

johnnybyu

8/2/21 6:44pm

I take it you haven't looked the last 10 year would be nominees

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:02pm

3 or 4 of those going to the SEC...

Coug

8/2/21 6:44pm

as it should be

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:26pm

Lots of moving parts right now…..

Bluedomination

8/2/21 5:58pm

BYU doesn't own a piece of the CFP and won't. They only way to get a big piece

Nat Gas Man

8/2/21 6:02pm

Solid take, and...

LEDSFW

8/2/21 6:32pm

And an Independence BYU is the hardest position. There is not guaranteed access

johnnybyu

Many CBers are like good corners. They have short memories

TNT

8/2/21 7:11pm

Most CBers haven't ever seen a good corner, particularly the younger ones...

Incorrect

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:18pm

I listened as well. I got the sense he was suggesting the easiest path was G5…

Roosty

8/2/21 7:20pm

It's true. With the MWC being wayy easier than AAC

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:28pm

Time to start playing in Laramie again!!!

This idea has been floated for a while...I posted something similar

Punk Philosopher

8/2/21 7:40pm

I agree with this…but I wonder if getting to that magic formula is possible…

Roosty

8/2/21 7:50pm

Regardless...the future of elite football is Independence

Punk Philosopher

8/2/21 7:59pm

I’d be interested to know why you think this?

Roosty

8/2/21 8:07pm

I read an article a few years ago that broke down the data

I think it’s about scheduling smart. I’m not worried about scheduling

In principle, this is right. But in practice, how could a person ever know who

Roosty

8/3/21 7:44am

I think it's possible to do schedule analytics based on historical performance

Also, if I'm the AD, the first item of business is instilling a culture of

No, I don't.

I can follow your logic, but we beat both SC and Wisky….

Pretorian

8/3/21 7:45am

We have beat them before, this is true.

I get it, I’m with ya

Pretorian

Any AD will choose yearly conference money over easier CFP access.

Even if a 12 team playoff happens most of the at large will go to the sec now
