So there's a point that dilutes the season. Because you guys keep saying more is automatically better "more meaningful" "more fun" etc

12 dilutes the season. 2 and 3 loss teams having a shot dilutes the season. Look at Georgia's schedule this year. 10-2 would be a pretty poor record given their team. But you guys want to give them a shot based on the more=better idea.

Also expanding to 12 will mean 16 in a few years and then probably 24. There will always be people who say, yeah but imagine how exciting it will be when 30-40 teams have a real shot in November. Imagine how much fun a 24 team tournament will be. Imagine hosting playoff games on campus... The same argument you're making now.

If you are the Iowa State fan that your profile shows this should be a gift! Iowa State is good enough to give just about any teams a helluva game but the Big 12(minus 2) has a way of shatting on itself and screwing things up.

But that shouldn't be the criteria for a shot at a title.

College football has by far the best regular season in sports. It has an ok postseason. I'm fine with that. I enjoy watching 2019 LSU v Bama. That is a playoff game.

I think a lot of people want it to be more like the NFL but like I've said, big time college football teams don't play 12 real games per year. NFL teams play 17 real games. So a 9-3 college record is not as impressive as a 11-6 NFL record.

Georgia's 2021 schedule

Clemson
UAB
South Carolina
Vandy
Arkansas
Auburn
Kentucky
Florida
Missouri
Tennessee
Charleston Southern
Georiga Tech

If they lose 3 games with that schedule Kirby will start getting some major heat. He shouldn't also get a shot at an at large bid in the playoff.

Expand it and the season becomes more like basketball. Who's watching December college basketball outside of the states of North Carolina and Kentucky? No one. We just wait for March. College football isn't some magical sport that we have to watch no matter what. It isn't immune to a weak regular season.
