It will be interesting to see if the playoffs naturally get better ratings each round or there are some hiccups. I feel like people are already tired by the time of the championship game after all the buzz for the semis. Conference championship games, plus four rounds of playoffs seems like a bit much.

Playoffs? Are you talking about Playoffs?


How does any fan get through the bowl season with their IQ still in tack? We are about to be bombarded with countless small college football games at all kinds of odd hours of the day. Then we get the 6-win power 5 onslaught that makes you long for the Playoffs. By the time we actually get to some decent teams playing bowl games in the NY6, we have the 4 team Playoffs to keep us busy.

The 12-team Playoff is about to be the greatest show on turf. Mark it down.

There will be megainterest at the start jsut bc it's new, but let's be real. How many people want to tune in to see some scrub 12th ranked team with 3 losses be cannon fodder for an alabama or ohio state?

I'm not saying all 1st round games are going to look like uga/tcu but I mean I would be a bit surprised if more of them are super close than aren't.
