re: Give Your take/Opinion/Thoughts on what you think college football needs to do -Playoffs

Transfer portal is out of control. This needs to be fixed first. It is way too wide open as it’s essentially caused free agency with no salary cap.

Next, CFB needs reorganization. There are too many bowl subdivision teams and too much inequality among conferences both in size and numbers of conference games. I believe we should reduce the number of conferences to somewhere between 6 and 8 (down from 10), force every team to be in a conference, make conferences play an equal number of games, and make every conference have the same number of teams (between 12 and 16). Games between FBS and FCS should be eliminated. These reforms would help to reduce the gap in “strength of schedule” and reduce “rent-a-wins” that fans have little interest in watching.

Conferences should also be constructed with traditional rivalries and regionalism in mind, and ALL Conference Champs should make the playoff. This ensures all corners of the country have a team to watch for the playoff, which should include 8 teams.

I am perfectly okay with the 2nd place team in a conference NOT making the playoffs despite being better than most of the other conference champs because that team had a chance to win their division and conference on the field. That keeps the regular season’s “playoff atmosphere” intact. Mulligans are what destroyed this more than playoff expansion, imo. I also think the first round of said playoff should be seeded not based on wins and losses but by traditional conference matchups (think BCS Bowl tie-ins).

Finally, OOC schedules should be more or less standardized to ensure more marquee OOC games and conference interaction.
