re: My take on the 24 team playoffs.

Top ten, period. No auto bids based on anything else. Number 11-12 last year was a joke.

It's ridiculous.

We need to go back to BCS where teams had to work there arse off to make it not just get a pass.

I like it. It encourages better competition in the regular season. With 24 teams, nobody can legitimately complain about being left out. Nobody will be left out because a schedule quirk had them playing Alabama and Georgia instead of Vanderbilt and South Carolina.

I don't buy the fact that fewer teams makes the regular season less important. What it does it makes teams avoid playing anyone who can beat them in the regular season. Teams can schedule legit tough games to open the season, instead of Jacksonville State or Prairie View A&M.

This past season, the #10 seed made it to the final game and lost by one score, so don't tell me that only 4 teams legitimately have a chance to be there.

In addition, with 24 spots available, there are probably going to be 30 teams that have a chance to make or miss out on the tournament in the last weekend. That is 30 fan bases that are jacked as hell for that last weekend. Even if they have a spot clinched, they will be playing for a bye in the first round. In the BCS era, there were maybe 3 or 4 games of any significance in the final weekend.

Finally, bowl games are irrelevant, today. Nobody gives a shite about the Sominex Siesta Bowl. Might as have more playoff games and let bowl games wither on the vine.
