be collecting receipts when everyone here is lamenting the loss of the regular season drama.

Also, the 4-seed is never competitive in the CFP. Can’t wait to see how the 16-seed does. Super exciting.

I’ll just say it…12 teams is too many for a college football playoff.

RalphWiggam You wish I was your lover

I think 4 is fine. I could tolerate 8 I guess

The 4 team playoff is the exact reason for a lack of parity, which is what you

Increased access should in theory spread the talent around and maybe

This is the piece I hadn’t considered. If this happens I could get on board.

Personally, I want to go back to 2

It’s not enough. 16 is better.

Turnpike Lane

but why do you think talent is going "move around"?

Mayor of Cougartown

12/1/22 10:25am

Because there will be more than 6 ways to get to the playoff.

Turnpike Lane

12/1/22 10:31am

I don’t follow this logic.

Blue Cat

12/1/22 11:03am

The difference is that BSU's path to the playoff will be easier than Kentucky

The Dark Knight

12/1/22 11:15am

That’s not too much different than it’s always been. I suppose BSUs odds would

Memmo

12/1/22 11:36am

To even out recruiting we’re not talking about Kentucky vs BSU

Blue Cat

12/1/22 12:14pm

Chet Holmgren chose Gonzaga over bigger schools. Football will see the same.

Hup

12/1/22 12:45pm

1-2 players matter in basketball. Totally different than football.

Blue Cat

12/1/22 1:41pm

But the idea is that top recruits will start considering smaller schools

Hup

12/1/22 2:35pm

Yep, 12 is just too many for a sport with 130 teams . . .

No G5 teams should be allowed. G5 football disgusts me.

They should have their own playoff

That means we'll probably be involved with their lot. Who's to say we won't be

You do realize that until last year, under your plan BYU would have found itself

TrueBlue67

12/1/22 1:46pm

It's not enough. Every conference champion should have an auto-berth. Until then

shoganai

12/1/22 10:00am

Agreed. Access will create parity.

Don't think I could really get behind giving the champions of the Sun Belt, MAC,

Stronger G5 schools could become powerful quickly

The Dark Knight

Money will still be the issue for strong G5 schools.

UTSA is #23 in the AP, #24 in the coaches, and unranked in the CFP rankings. If

Schultz is back

12/1/22 11:52am

I’m fine with the top 6 conf. champs plus 6 at-large. All 11 would be too many

cougarmeister

12/1/22 10:14am

I think there should be a few G5 slots and those conferences should replace CCGs

If it gives every team a clear path at the start of the season, I'm for it

There’s a reason people enjoy March madness more than the CFP

I disagree I think it's perfect.

Schrodizzy

12/1/22 10:01am

Should be a 6 team playoff, 6 highest ranked Conference Champs.

If it means that the recruiting outcomes are spread a little more widely, I am

If this is a legitimate possibility, it’s the only thing that would make bigger

Memmo

12/1/22 10:22am

Nope. It will be 16 teams at some point most likely. Gonna be a huge success.

BlooCoog

12/1/22 10:03am

Maybe the bye weeks for the conference champs make some sense and the first week

johnnybyu

12/1/22 10:05am

I'm predicting that it goes to 16 teams in the next 15 years with 7 total

thewaterboy

12/1/22 10:18am

8. The best team has never ranked worse than 8.

Genghis Spreads

12/1/22 10:05am

And we have no idea if that's because teams that were undefeated and ranked 9-16

Jomilo21

12/1/22 10:08am

We have computer rankings.

Genghis Spreads

12/1/22 10:35am

12 is perfect. You get all the top 6 conference champs. Prob the top 10 teams

LaserCoug

12/1/22 10:05am

Well if that's not a hot take... NCAA Basketball March Madness Tourney includes

Jomilo21

12/1/22 10:06am

March Madness runs 2 rounds/week. CFB is only 1 round/week. 12 teams is best.

Y2010

12/1/22 12:19pm

8 is probably the best number: 6 highest rated conference champs + 2 at large.

Benfica1

12/1/22 10:07am

Somehow FCS manages 24

We need something that is worse than a thumbs down.

byucougarsbig12

12/1/22 10:12am

16 or 24 would be better.

Napoli

12/1/22 10:13am

Only if ALL conference champions are represented.

Benfica1

12/1/22 10:15am

16 is the magic number

cougarbart

12/1/22 10:17am

Well aside from the automatic bid for a G5 Conference Champion...

Jomilo21

12/1/22 10:22am

There's an important distinction here though. It's the top 6 ranked champs

Schultz is back

12/1/22 10:31am

I also think all conference champions should be included. I would be fine with

Napoli

12/1/22 1:50pm

12 is where it starts for me. I can't get behind anything less.
