re: Would you want an 8 or 16 team playoff in CFB?

Please, its very similar

It's not remotely similar. LSU, for example, has never played Michigan. Ever. Two of the top ten programs in college history, and they've never played each other. We might as well not be in the same sport.

And let's limit it to major conferences, there are 60 teams in the five major conferences, and Notre Dame brings you to 61. The idea you can sort the quality of 61 teams, and that's only major conference teams, in a 12 game self-selected schedule is just wrong. It cannot be done. The idea we know who is "better" is a total myth of narrative.

but forget all that, destroying the conferences would fundamentally alter college football and destroy the foundation of the sport itself. Its a sport rooted in tradition and centuries' old rivalries. An end to conference play would end what makes college sports special. It's a fantastically bad idea.
