Like I said, college football went to shite when they put the hands on the field goal nets
Don’t get me wrong, 2000-2012 CFB was amazing, but it was the start of it going corporate.

Not really
It has always arbitrarily decided a winner. Now it just arbitrarily decides who gets invited to play in the playoff
No other sport in the world disqualifies teams from competing for a title before the first game is played.
If ULL, Tulane, and Western Michigan all go undefeated, none are making the playoff in a normal year.
CFB has always been broken. It’s just worse now than it was

You'd be right if it was just one person picking a team and saying, "I like that one." But that's not how it worked.

Only if you believe winning the national championship was always the goal for every single team. Up until the 1970s or 80s, it was more about beating your rival and winning your conference. Being voted as the best team in college football was a bigger deal for some teams than it was to others.

I can't wait to see Bama and UGA play three times in a year. Yay.

One model under “serious consideration,” sources told Action Network, is a 14-team playoff that would grant automatic bids to:
- the SEC’s conference champ and next two highest-ranked teams
- the Big Ten’s conference champ and next two highest-ranked teams
There is no world where in a 12 team playoff this already isn't happening. 9 win SEC and B1G teams will be making the playoff annually.

thats its historically terrible at finding a champion?
that it rewards teams that are great all season, and not the team that get's hot at the very end.

It’s all about which teams will bring in the most audience. There is no disputing that. Viewership is the arbitrary tiebreaker

College basketball? When has there ever been an undefeated basketball team that missed the playoff? When has there been an college basketball team that has the same amount of wins as the 1 seed miss the playoff?

That’s irrelevant to my point. It’s broken in terms of crowning a championship

While the 12-team playoff will just as good as kill the college football regular season,
The regular season will matter for longer for more teams, as more programs will still be in the hunt for a playoff spot as opposed to their hopes ending in October.
People check out these days when they are no longer in playoff contention. Screw lesser bowls.

Why? You've already got the top 3 from the SEC and B1G, top 2 from ACC and Big 12 plus the highest G5 champion. Who else needs to be in.
It's the Notre Dame clause.

Just go full fricking nfl then. Big 10 and SEC break off into 8 divisions.
This shite is ridiculous at this point. They couldn't have fricked up a perfect sport more in such a short amount of Time. And the media has championed all of it and the fans have never wanted any of it.

they lost their playoff game, so no, they don't meet that description.
I was talking about teams like the year the Giants beat un undefeated Patriots team in the Super Bowl.
they were playing shitty enough most of the year to have their coach on the hot seat. then got hot and won whole thing.
that's rewarding a team for simply getting hot instead of for having a great year.
the more and more teams you add, the better the chances of a hot team winning it.
that's not a "true champion". That's a hot team for a couple weeks.
a "true champion" realizes the season starts Labor Day weekend (ok, week zero for a few teams). You have to be great starting that weekend (not in January).

We can barely find 4 legit playoff teams a year and they think 12 is going to be better. It's just going to be more blowouts.

Since Nick Saban started his head coaching career in 1995, 25 teams have had undefeated seasons and only one of those was Nick Saban’s. That’s the same number of undefeated seasons as Gene Chizik, Larry Coker and even Robert Pruitt had and those aren’t names you’d think would be in the same area of Saban in any category.
The process of ESPN and the media always helped him...benefit of the doubt, do-overs, etc.
There was something going on that we'll never hear about. But the powers that be had an agenda.

This will happen every year with no PAC-12 and the Big 12 losing both of its top programs...with or without the 3 spots per conference being guaranteed.

it’s weird because “a champion” would describe one team.
Not 2 or 3.

Like it or not those teams are not on the same level as the power conferences. They do not play the same level of competition. They just don't.
That is why I think you will see the SEC and Big10 do their own thing at some point.

i'm super thankful UM won the natty, because the future format of the sport is absolutely pathetic and vomit-worthy
the importance and value each Saturday had is what made CFB so amazing. even though the portal and NIL reallllyyy altered the sport, the format will be one thing which might cause me to not really care and not watch
i know, no one on this forum cares about a random poster not watching CFB, but it's gonna be an unidentifiable game from just a few years ago in which the excitement of each weekend was palpable across the country
