I bet the conference basketball and baseball tourneys will be next to go and they will likely expand the NCAA tourneys for both

Just use the conference tourney weekends to start the NCAA tourneys

Most SEC teams don't even try to win the SEC Baseball tourney if they already have regionals locked up

Will be way better than all of the former formats. When you have a conference so loaded top to bottom like the SEC and the other conferences have very weak teams from middle pack down this was needed. South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, LSU, Ole Miss, Georgia and Bama would all easily win the Big 12 this year, and would be in the top 2 in the ACC. Unlike the NFL college football has had a very inequitable schedule because of how weak almost every conference is compared to the entire SEC , and the top half of the Big 10.

Now you’ll have a higher percentage of talented teams/the better teams , playing for the National Championship. The BCS sucked, and having only 4 teams eligible for a playoff when you have 15-20 teams that could challenge anyone they play on any given day, was not just antiquated, but lacked any reason for existence. Other than “this is how we’ve always done it”.

24 teams will be so much more interesting and better for the sport.

Heck, LSU has a good solid chance of making that - given a couple of lucky breaks here and there.

and the regular season will barely be relevant anymore.

This expanded playoff, with NIL and the no-sit portal, has made the game I loved for 50 years unrecognizable.

So sad.

Dilletantes, greedy TV execs, bureaucrats, and politicians: all conspiring to kill the spectacle and magic of college football.

Yay.

I do not see anything other than power 4 teams must play 10 games against power 4 to be considered . Power 6 must play 10 teams in either p0wer 4 or 6 conference.

Yay. Can’t wait for a 5-4 LSU vs 5-4 Oklahoma matchup, both with their playoff hopes on the line.
