re: [The Athletic] What An Expanded Playoff May Look Like

Opt-out culture WAS going to happen with the CFP or not. People are just blaming the CFP because its too easy. Players were going to opt-out of bowl games regardless.

There’s no factual basis for any of this. You’re just spouting bull shite. Maybe they would have, maybe they wouldn’t have. We don’t know.

It seems an awful big coincidence that the first opt-outs started happening almost immediately after the playoff was formed.

People have and will continue to care less and less if more and more players opt-out because of such a small playoff format. Expand it to 16 teams and watch how many more players magically play in those playoff games.

I agree with expansion because I think the current format lost the good of the bowl season without giving the good of a playoff. I don’t understand why playoff expansion supporters feel the need to tell lies about the system prior to the 4-team playoff though.
