If Alabama’s coach loses every year in the first round of the playoffs, he will get fired, same thing at other blue bloods.

2 and 3 are good. A 24 team playoff is clown world shite.

Conference championships are incredibly stupid. Especially with 16+ team leagues.
Going the FCS route was always the answer

No sport has every team in the playoffs so the 130 model just shows how moronic some of you think. But 24 or 32 is on par with every other sport.
And I don’t really count 2024 because the seeding was all screwed up as you guys discussed ad naseum. 2025 was the first time college football had a normal playoff. And the public loved it. And history will show Indiana was the no doubt champion.

Tech fan. Checks out. Cheering for it to expand to 30+ teams just so your team makes it. Very lil bro stuff

You are the type of SEC fan that keeps the south down. Every other sport in the world has a real playoff. I don’t live for football so if my team makes it or doesn’t make it doesn’t affect my life other than a few hours on game day. My question to you is why do you not like it? You afraid like we’ve seen that your team can’t run the gauntlet? I actually believe your team is the odds on favorite to run thru the playoffs. But I do understand winning 1 game is much easier than winning 3.
Sorry, the public has spoken and a bigger playoff is what real fans want.

Indiana would’ve been the no doubt champion in any other year as well.

Wrong. FSU was undefeated and got left out. Indiana could have been out if things had changed a little. The #10 seed made the Natty which clearly a lowly ACC team never would have been let in previously especially if they were ranked 10.

Indiana was the only undefeated team at the end of the regular season you dumbass.

That’s a damn good point you made. They were left out because some arbitrary committee decided they shouldn’t have gotten in. Which is somehow worse if we are so concerned with having a “true champion.”

How was Indiana going to be left out?

And they wouldn’t have had anyone to blame but themselves. Their on field record indicated that they shouldn’t have been higher.

I stopped caring about college football some time ago - it is broken beyond repair.

This would have been true in any era. They finished the regular season ranked #1 after beating top-ranked Ohio State in the B1G championship game, so they would have been pre-BCS era champions. Since they were #1 going into the post-season they would have also been selected to play in the BCS NCG. Also since they were #1 they would have been selected as the #1 seed in a four-team CFP.
In any era, 2025 Indiana is your national champion for college football. We just needed to expand the season for whatever reason to tell us what we already knew.

You guys are just not correct. How many times have we had teams go undefeated and they either didn’t get invited or were completely left out? It’s happened a lot. Just because it didn’t happen to your team or your conference doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.
And this all goes back to your dependence in polls. At some point you guys need to step back and realize you have been manipulated by the polls your entire lives. Miami is a perfect example. All you guys see is a team who lost some games and had a number 10 stuck on them. When the reality is you had a team that built itself up all season and at the end were a play or two away from being the National Champ. Losses or rankings shouldn’t matter. You don’t see rankings for any other sport that completely eliminate teams n the first quarter of a season. Basketball and baseball rankings are worthless because teams with a pulse will get in. The same is now going to happen in football and the polls will once again shown to be worthless. Ohio St was ranked #1 the entire season and they got bounced because polls are dumb and wrong.
Eventually, each conference will be given X number of slots each and they will decide who their reps are and polls won’t mean a thing.

Big10 undefeated champ would've played Oregon from the PAC and smoked them in the Rose Bowl..oh, which they did in the Playoffs.
Nothing Georgia could've done in the Sugar...but SEC vote-beg.

I don't care if they had somehow managed to upset Indiana in the CFP NCG back in January, I still wouldn't have cried if they had been left out. Why? Because they failed to take care of business against Louisville and SMU.

Makes sense under the current circumstances. There are obvious reasons like money and coaches wanting to keep their jobs. However, there are less obvious reasons like for example the relationship ESPN has with the Playoffs and the SEC. It opens the door to lawsuits over cartel like behavior, etc. That in turn could lead to the courts doing all sorts of stuff we don't like. I think some people in power in college football are starting to realize it is better to make everyone happy rather than give some Ivy League educated judges the power to decide the fate of College Football. So the seventh best SEC team gets in along with a ranked G5 school.
Posted on 5/8/26 at 12:56 pm to RollTide1987
Honestly I don’t care if it’s 12, 16 or 24 even though the first round is going to be some lame arse blowouts. Maybe an upset every 2nd or third year.
What is more important is that we not stretch the playoff out over 8-9 weeks. That is absolutely ridiculous. When my kid played in the dome they played every Friday for 16 weeks in a row counting Jamboree.
It sounds like that is being addressed as it should

Miami losing a few games isn’t a reason they should have been left just. No other sport demands teams go undefeated to be in a playoff. College football is the only sport that has completely disparate schedules and then wanted to anoint 1, 2, or 4 teams as the best. It was pure lunacy. How do we know undefeated BYU and UCF weren’t the best team those years? But because we have 130 teams with different schedules it made that crowning system a scam.
An expanded playoff has already proven that the media anointed, BCS, and 4 team systems were a joke. A #10 team just ran thru to the Natty game because they played a hard schedule and lost some games doesn’t mean they weren’t worthy. And the playoff and bowl records show the ACC had some tough teams even though they get no credit here because all you guys care about are rankings as your god. FSU, who sucked, beat Bama so that’s all you need to know about preseason polls.
I believe the SEC will once again have a lot of teams ranked in the preseason, They’ll play each other and count every loss as a “ranked” loss so they stay ranked. And they’ll get 4-5 teams in the playoff. Then when the rankings can’t protect them they’ll lose to better teams that y’all think are weak. The SEC top team the past two years beat a mid level ACC by 2 and 7 the past 2 years. That should tell you something way more than preseason rankings.
