Just go ahead and break off from the ncaa and become the NFL's official minor league system and suck every bit of life left out of a once great sport.

This will kill everything left that is decent about College Football... And it ain't much right now as it is in its current state.

Yeah that ship sailed if there ever was one.

In fact CFB was the OG in breaking the rules and being deceptive.

The format proposed might bring fans back temporarily but the current format kills CFB.

Everyone is just focused on a playoff spot. And that singular focus has lost interest and respect for paegentry, rivalries, individual wins mattering not just the record.

The regular season, tailgates, rivalries, etc. Just aren't what they use to be.

The proposal for a 12-team playoff is a reaction to all-time low ratings, usual suspects in every 4-time pkayoff., same predictable outcome.

More teams equals fake hope with additional chances to fail.

And then after 5 years of this new playoff,it will still be Alabama and Clemson meeting for the 8th time for the MNC.

But this is exactly what it is, and always has been. D1 FBS college football is a minor league for the NFL. Who does the NFL draft 95% of their players from? FBS schools.

For over 90% of athletes who play D1 ball, their ultimate goal is to play in the NFL. These guys aren't choosing LSU and Bama because they really fell in love with Baton Rouge or Tuscaloosa. They aren't going to to these schools because they really feel that they will be challenged academically. They are going somewhere who they think will set them up and prepare them to play in the NFL.

Why pretend otherwise. It still makes for great football.
