I could care less about bowl games anymore
Even New Years six

If you ever become an LSU fan, you’ll learn to care enough about player development to maintain your interest in all LSU games.

Playoffs are the problem. So let's expand playoffs.


That cat is already out the bag. Only thing now to keep kids interested and fans interested if more teams have a chance at the end of the year.

It would be very entertaining to see Ole Miss, Baylor, Ohio state, ND all be in it. Makes for a much better product vs. watching the sugar bowl while half the star players “sit to get ready for the nfl”

It would be awesome… plus the playoff wasn’t the original problem it was when they went from a few bowls to 60 bowls.

The beauty of CFB is that every week matters and you can throw it out with expanded playoffs.


Bama has won the championship without even winning the west how does every game matter?

Downvote away. But you have to admit, college football was more fun before the playoffs


2019 was the most fun season I've ever experienced, so I'm going to have to disagree.

There will never be a consensus on best team in the playoffs. Some team will always feel left out and like they deserved a chance and didn’t get it.

Bring back the mythical “national champion” and stop trying to make it NFL Lite.

** couldn't

And for minor bowls, I couldn't care less either. Because 84 out of 130 team make a bowl game. Most are utterly irrelevant.

Now back in the 70s, there were only 12 bowls, with 4 major bowls, so making ANY bowl game was a big accomplishment.

Nowadays, most bowls are irrelevant, but the bigger bowls are still very important and I certainly get excited watching the handful of major bowls.

it's shocking that some people actually believe this.

College football is the only major sport that didn't have a playoff to crown the champion. (and by the way, all other college football divisions - FCS, Div-II, Div-III - have had playoffs for decades).

It's nonsense to either vote on the champion, or have a very limited 2 or 4-team playoff.

Expand to 8 teams: Power5 champs get auto bids, and 3 at large. Of course too much expansion would dilute it, but going to 8 or 10 teams would be perfect.

Makes perfect sense.

That’s not even close to being true. Sure, too prospects going into the next draft don’t care, but the rest if the team does care; especially the younger players that get a few extra weeks of work

There are some middle of the road programs that have 1st round locks looking forward to playing too

I’m fine with it at this point, but I do under the argument against expansion. Most seasons there are only 1-4 teams head and shoulders above the rest. Rarely if ever does the #6 ranked team deserve to play for the NC.

This year, teams 8-10 are Ole Miss, Okie St, and Utah. Utah has 3 losses, the others have 2. None are worthy of being national champs based on their seasons.

Playoffs are fine but let’s be honest, they absolutely do dilute the regular seasons. I recall a 9-7 Giants team winning the super bowl over the 16-0 Patriots.

I’ve always wanted a 6 team playoff. Conference champs and two at large. Top two seeds get a bye.

This would just make the bowl games even less meaningful

You’re a fricking idiot if you don’t care about a NYD6 bowl game. Think about the players and not your selfish arse for just one minute , If that’s even possible for dumb arse lsu fans to do!

I mean when you start talking about the #12 team getting a shot at the NC, then you’re looking at 2-3 loss teams that really have no business being in the hunt. This year it’d be 10-2 BYU. Talk about diluting the regular season.
