What you people don't understand is that the regular season was the playoff. Now you can lose two or three games in said season and still have an opportunity to play for a national championship. How does that do anything other than marginalize the regular season and make it less relevant?


So ironic seeing Bama fans make these statements.

Pretty much everything that sucks about CFB now was all done to cater to your program the majority of the past two decades. Yeah yeah, maybe one or two years in the middle of that some other blue blood got a narrative change to keep their regular season losses from hurting them, but to see these statements now is laughable.

The regular season hasn't meant anything to anyone that is not a blue blood in nearly 15 years. Only change is now the blue bloods can lose 2-3 games and still make the playoffs, as opposed to having to shove them in a 2 or four team "final" when they don't win their conference or division (or both).

Bring on the change. The 12-team playoff is just making sure the better teams are there in the end. (see BAMA and 4-team playoff history)

Isn't it though? But it doesn't make my statements any less true. In 2011, had it been done the old way LSU would have played in the Sugar Bowl against an at-large team while Alabama would have been banished to either the Cotton Bowl or the Orange Bowl. There never would have been a rematch and no one would have bitched or moaned.
