That would be a brutal draw for Michigan, having to go through Ohio State, UGA and Bama back to back to back.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

Not really, the end result is still going to be Bama v UGA

16 team playoff or bust.

That’s way too many. You really want trash teams like Iowa and Wake making the playoff? No thanks. Eight is the right number — with no auto bids.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

Why do you say no auto bids? Agree we only need 8.

Bust. Its a waste of time & resources. 8 teams max.

I’ve always wanted to get rid of Conference Title games.

Because I want the eight best teams, not Pitt and Utah or any other unworthy conference champ who’s clearly not a top 8 team.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

Iowa and Wake would not be in it.

If 16 teams out of 130 is a waste of time and resources then so is 68 out of 350. Cut March Madness down to 16 teams.

As far as I can tell college football is the only sport in the world to not have a path to the postseason to begin the season for every team involved. Only a true waterhead would think that is a sign of a successfully run sport.

Well, Iowa’s in the top 16 of the final rankings, so theoretically they would. Swap out Wake with Oregon, OU, etc. and the point still stands. Those teams are not good enough to deserve another mulligan and title shot. It was already proven on the field … multiple times.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

They need to have the power conferences split off and have their own playoff, and let the mid-major conferences create their own playoff. That is coming down the pike, probably sooner than most people think.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

Not the same. A talent gap in football can’t be mitigated the same way it can in basketball.

Every team plays mostly within their conference, so you can't really know how good each conference is, unless you take their champ and let them play against the others.

10 autobids plus 6 wild cards, not top 16 teams. Seed the top 6 conference champs and then use rankings for 7-16. Not hard.

Oh well, 68 teams is a waste of time and resources. Seeds 15/16 and even 13/14 never have a shot so why include them?
ronnie mund

Maybe so, but while they all play in the same division every team should be able to know what they have to do to make the playoffs. Just like every other sport has somehow figured out.

You can play 2 basketball games in a week, you can't do that with football. That is why basketball can have more teams.

The FBS should get together with whoever runs FCS, D2, and D3 to figure out how to run a playoff that consists of more than 4 teams.
Hammerdrill
Well-known member
Well I can tell you, D3 doesn't do a very good job either, based on your definition of needing to know what you need to do to get in.
ronnie mund

Many more teams in D3. Would be much easier in FBS.

Maybe maybe not

For sure. Lots of blow outs too. FBS only needs 8.
Omar

They do have a shot. However, it’s not the same in Football

No, definitely

Lots of blowouts in March Madness too. Doesn't mean there isn't a reason to do it.
