Conference championships didn’t really exist until like 20 years ago, did they?

I say get rid of them. Conference winner is best record, tie beaker on head to head, next tie breaker is ranking. Up your ranking with better OOC opponents.

I've noticed there is a minority of fans that are mourning the move from 4 to 12

Thanks for bringing that terrible post to my attention.

Now, if we could just get to 16 with ALL conference champions involved...

I don't need to see Georgia vs N Texas

BYU Fan

What's wrong with the Mean Green? I say let's see that game

OldFogey

12/1/22 12:07pm

Maybe we will at some point

BYU Fan

12/1/22 12:12pm

If that's what you want to advocate for great. Then go all in.

Truth is I only asked because I did my undergrad at UNT. lol I KNOW they don't

No way those po-dunk conferences should be involved. Only P4/5 schools!

DirtyWater

I agree 16 or 24 with all conference champs participating

CameronG

12/1/22 11:03am

My preference too, but with qualifiers.

The CUSA/MAC champions are not good teams, we don't need all conferences

Zoobieman

12/1/22 12:38pm

This year's C-USA champ is likely to be UTSA and they're borderline Top 25

CameronG

12/1/22 1:01pm

Great, so they will be part of the Top 8 conference champions. . .

Zoobieman

12/1/22 2:25pm

Not only that, but aren't top 4 seeds guaranteed for top 4 conference champs?

Arguing about teams that have no shot at the title? It’s about as exciting as

You don't think LSU has the talent to beat any team in the field?

Carnac

12/1/22 10:54am

The current system gave them that chance and they dropped it.

Memmo

12/1/22 10:56am

So back to two?

I was talking only of LSU. They beat A&M and Georgia, they are in. Call those

Huh? Why would excluding 9-3 LSU lead to that conclusion?

Ok let me be clear: by “chance” I mean they were ranked #5 with two games left

Everybody should at least have a fair shot

CameronG

12/1/22 11:12am

We do the same in basketball and it’s great. BYU isn’t trying to win a title,

BYUCLA

12/1/22 11:39am

I agree in part. I wouldn't be opposed to a conference ranking system where the top 8 conferences make the playoff thus

DJROSS

12/1/22 10:43am

There is something to be said about regular season games meaning less. Ohio St - Michigan was double brutal

TCuz

12/1/22 10:44am

I’m excited that we’re going to 12, but I would be bummed if every conference

How is it fair for Utah State and Northern Illinois to get in over Ohio State?

The whole discussion is about a 12 team playoff

Expand it more

CameronG

12/1/22 12:03pm

I'd be cool with that

RealTaysomHill

12/1/22 2:54pm

I'd argue the opposite

At this point there isn't enough parity in CFB to justify the need for a 12 team

Pasadena

12/1/22 10:56am

Exactly. And we all want to see more parity happen.

Turnpike Lane

12/1/22 11:13am

TBH I'm ok with the fact that a USC or a TCU have less on the line as far as making the playoff if they lose with a 12

unctoothman

12/1/22 11:04am

Conference champs get autobids. How is that less meaningful?

FiveTen-BuckEighty

12/1/22 11:10am

It's the only chance for BYU to ever make the playoff.

Corn

12/1/22 11:23am

I think 12 is just right. I wouldn't fight a move to 16, but I do think there's

Corn Pop

12/1/22 11:24am

I think 12 is the absolute max I’d go for

canuckchuck

12/1/22 11:38am

That's why conf champs NEED to be a part. Until then CFP is just an invitational

BluebloodOR

12/1/22 11:39am

Meh, I don’t need a G5 school with less than 10 wins near my TV

canuckchuck

12/1/22 11:56am

It was best when it was zero. Turn it got worse when it went to 2. Now it's...

COACHdrn

12/1/22 11:51am

I don't think this is that far off. What we get are better top bowl matchups

Pasadena

12/1/22 4:49pm

I like 8.

byujdmba

12/1/22 2:06pm

Plus playing for higher seeding leading up to playoff is a big deal.

Good luck with that. Those conference champ games are worth tens of millions.
