Cool, now we will get to see 3 loss team make the CFP.
A 12 team playoff is stupid. Go to 16 teams and make everyone win four games to secure the championship.
The perceived problem with the four team playoff has been the lack of Pac 12 and Big 12 participants. Solve the problem with an 8 team playoff comprised of the five FBS champions and three at large teams.
In reality, there are seldom more than six legitimate contenders for the championship. Everyone else is making excuses or prefacing their statements with "If only..."
BC and Alabama just announced a home and home in 2031 and 2034 so all you people saying Wake can’t schedule a good P5 team can fuck right off.
I was okay with a six team playoff with the actual six best teams. I hated the eight team playoff with the five P5 conference champs and one stupid G5 team plus two at large teams because it didn’t guarantee that the best teams would be in the playoff.
Six team would reward the top two teams though, similar to a 12-team.
I don't like byes in a college football playoff. Too much of an advantage and not always earned (completely subjective based on rankings). At least in the NFL, they've "earned" it by having the best record(s).
Another reason why I like 4 (or even 8), but not 6 or 12.
4 seems fine to me. It's not like we've ever really had a debate about a team that got left out of the 4 team playoff deserving to be national champs.
Why do the top two teams need to be rewarded? They are only the top two teams each year because the voters/rankings think they are. The playoff should prove that out, not provide them an advantage.
Boom ! Exactly.
The ACC has turned their basketball tournament into a carnival with multiple byes. Give the regular season champ a bye. Let the remaining 14 teams play the first round on Wednesday on the home court of the higher seed. Bring the seven winners and the champ to a neutral location for the tourney Friday thru Sunday. A lot more money and an equal chance for success.
