That’s the exact opposite of reality

Congrats on moral victories

Top recruits pile into the 3 or 4 schools that consistently show up in the CFP. The fact that just a few teams make it and just a few teams dominate is sort of self fulfilling. If it’s a 12-team playoff each year, you’ll get better talent distribution, especially in the NIL era where a single school can’t fully line the pockets of all 25 signees. This is less all or nothing and will be better for competitive balance. And it’s much harder to win four games (or three with a bye) against seeded teams than having the SEC champ destroy some weak arse Big-12 winner or Notre Dame as a tune up to the championship.

I don't mind the expansion. I DO mind that any team gets a bye. At least in the NFL you have common opponents for the most part. Not so much in college. By expanding we were supposed to make the arguments pointless. Nobody cares that teams 9 & 10 didn't make the final 8, but now the arguments for teams 5-8 on who should have gotten the bye will be worse than what we have now.
Expand to 8 and be done with the controversy. 12 is absurd.

Aka Admitting it kills the passion and tension of the regular season.
The regular season in college football is the most over hyped and over dramatized thing in sports. No one gives a shite about Iowa regular season, or Michigan states regular season and I can go on and on. You don't care about 99% of teams because they aren't going to get in the playoff and win every game.
The media coverage also couldn't give 2 shits about the rest of the nation because all they care about is the 4 teams that have a legit shot of getting to the playoff. And before that it was the same teams they cared about for the BCS.

We will be in Playoffs every year.

Like baseball teams already do for midweek games?
which is why most teams only draw a couple dozen fans for those games

like this. No more bitching every year about teams getting left out.
that’s what they said when we went to four

So, 8 extra teams that have no business being there and will get blown out instead of just the usual 1.
We’ll finally get the answer of whether getting blown out in the first round of the playoffs every year is an OU tradition or a Lincoln Riley tradition

I don't like the expansion, but I especially hate the idea of a BYE in college football.

You think guys are going to quit opting out?
No.
If you'll notice, I said it would keep "a lot of" opt puts from happening.

Why 12?
Posted on 9/2/22 at 7:27 pm to Datsmoneydude
Great news for college football. Will help slow down the quitters from quitting on their teams. (At least in the 12 that get to go.)

Now we’ll have to endure truly mediocre teams whining about being left out.
It happens with teams left out of the NCAA hoops field even at 68 teams, but that discussion is over within a day of the selection show. At least we will be arguing over the 13th team instead of a few teams having a legit claim to the 4th spot.
Here’s how WE as LSU fans should be looking at this. How could this benefit US? How would it have benefitted us in the past?
The 2001 LSU team was nuclear blast hot at the end of that season. I’m not sure that defense could have closed the deal on a title, but imagine that team with that unstoppable offense in a playoff. People can say that a team below 3 will never have a shot, but that kind of team that catches fire late can make a playoff fun to watch.
Then look at 2006. Yeah, that’s another fricking trophy in the case right there. That team would have run the table and won it all and had a chance for 2 in a row. And our 07 team wouldn’t have needed a series of miracles to have the shot they backed their way into. They would have just won it on the field after getting healthy.

Then we need to drop conference championship games. College kids shouldn’t be playing as many games as the NFL year in and out.
It’s funny how a 16-24 team playoff works just fine for the FCS, D2 and D3. And has for many years.
That said, I would have preferred the committee stop at 8 for the FBS.

That's crazy, theres only usually 2 teams that are elite each year at most 3 or 4 and most of them will be in SEC.
Tournaments are what make sports fun. Who would think this is a bad thing? Kids are already sitting out whenever they feel their career ia threatened, might as well make the championship more competitive.
However I’m sure this format will have a bye and the favoritism will manifest there.

Among the measures approved by the CFP board Friday:
12-team bracket: Six highest-ranked conference champions (no minimum ranking requirement), plus next six highest-ranked teams
Rankings system: CFP Selection Committee will continue to determine weekly rankings with criteria to be reevaluated
Bracket placement: Four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded 1-4 with first-round byes; four highest remaining seeds will host lower seeds at sites to be determined
Scheduling: First-round games will be played at campus sites* on either the second or third weekend in December, at least 12 days after conference championship games
Bowl relationship: Quarterfinal and semifinal games will be played at rotating bowl sites subject to agreements being reached; national championship will continue being played at neutral sites; existing conference relationships with bowls will be considered for game placements
* Exceptions may be made, for example, if a team with a smaller stadium prefers to host in a larger nearby venue or a Big Ten team wants to play at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, home of the Big Ten Championship Game, sources told Dodd
