regular season scheduling is largely regional and, as such, it is ruining our abilities to effectively evaluate different conferences at the national level - that is why we need more playoff games in order to do so.


I don't necessarily agree. Sure, it isn't like the NFL where you can really judge objectively, but by and large the top teams play equally tough schedules. At least close enough to be able to adequately judge two teams side-by-side. It is a little tough with the 4/5 teams, but I am ok with that. Much better than a system that requires 5 P5 champs and 1 non-P5 team, which is how I see an expansion going.

i certainly disagree here, there is far too much variance in scheduling, most likely because there is not a universally agreed upon standard among all P5 schools.


its a joke that Baylor and Stanford, for examples, can head into this season with the same opportunities as playoffs teams considering the schedules they both played.
