College Football Playoff

For the 12th game of the year, the teams could play red shirted players also to give the fans and coaches some preview of next year.
I expect a ground swell to develop for my playoff system in the coming weeks.
:laugher:
 
8 teams is not enough and 16 is too much. Go with my plan for 12 teams and reward the best four conferences. This rewards playing well in a tough schedule. Shorten the season one game. BUT NEVER EVER EVER have a selection committee!

p.s. I'm against a playoff. It is most definitely not good for Georgia Tech.

Eight teams is plenty under two scenarios.

1) All the NCAA is aligned into eight conferences as proposed. Every conference has a championship and every team has a chance to get to that champioship by winning more games in its division. THEN, the regular season really would be the initial part of the playoff. But then the regular season would matter for reasons other than winning style points with voters.

2) Recognize that in any given year no more than two non-BCS schools are legitmate contenders. Play the six conference champions with two at-large and any undefeated teams get automatic bids for the at-large bids.

Texas would still get screwed this year, but under this system the Big 12 would probably change the tie-breaker. The current tie-breaker is a product of the BCS itself.


P.S.
The realignment is the subject of another debate. Do you start from scratch and go regionally like the NFL? Or do you take the top eight conferences and divvy up the rest of the teams to try to even out the conference strength. Either would cause come weaker teams to consider dropping down a division; and that's not a bad thing either.
 
I think it would be great if someone would just mail me a million dollars in nonconsecutive unmarked bills.
 
As opposed to now? Let's be honest, do you think Tech has much more of a chance to get to the title game now outside of an undefeated season? If we were a one loss ACC champion with only one loss to Florida State (same record as Ole Miss, I believe), Do you think we would get consideration over Oklahoma and Florida? What about 2006? If we only had the climpsun loss on our resume and were a one loss ACC Champion, do you think we would have jumped over Florida? A playoff system would help us much more because we wouldn't have to fight the names as well as the resume of the traditional powers at the end of the year as long as we win our conference. Depending on what system is in place, getting an at-large bid would possibly still be eaiser due to how many teams already have their spot, and are therefore not schools we have to compete with for that bid.

+1

In the current system we would have to go undefeated and untied AND therefore win the ACC; and then hope that two other teams didn't do the same.

Under a playoff at least we would have a chance to win it on the field. And if we didn't win it on the field, then we didn't deserve it anyway.
 
11 game season.

16 team playoff.

11 Auto Bids (conferences). I know this sucks, but you have to be "fair" even if they do not deserve it.

10 At large teams determined by a committee play in a traditional bowl game to "earn" the 5 at large spots.

Note: If ND wants to complain, then they can join a conference.
 
I don't mind if mine are consecutive.

If deposited at a bank, the money would be traced to your account. You know, just in case you hold somebody ransom or take FBI undercover drug money at some point in the future.
