Expand the playoffs to 24 teams
when we went to 4 teams, everyone said some variation of "who cares?, the #5 teams really doesn't have a complaint>"
then we went to 12 and people are saying "yeah, but so and so should have been in, let's expand!"
and we will expand. then people will bitch about that. and we'll expand again.
until we have 4 and 5 loss teams in the playoffs (like the FCS does).
frick THAT!
you want in the playoffs? quit losing.
8 teams is the max we need.

The way it’s set up now, it’s basically an 8 team playoff, there is just a play-in to determine who gets the 5-8 spots.
the "play-in" part of the bracket starts week 1 (week zero for some).

Then the conferences are run by imbeciles. Time for top programs to break free from the NCAA clown show and the conferences/unions/cabals and go out on their own.
The conferences set up the playoffs not the NCAA you imbecile
The idea was the top 5 conference winners would make the playoffs, in every other college sport if you win your conference you make the playoffs. Im pretty sure in every state if you win your district you make the playoff, in pro sports if you win your division you make the playoffs, it’s not “DEI” it’s common practice.
The problem is the Super Conferences. The B1G destroyed the PAC 12 the SEC gutted the Big 12 and the ACC has too many teams that’s why you got those joke results.
If you had the 5 functioning power conferences you had 15 years ago you’d be looking at 5 auto bids like Indiana, UGA, Oregon, 1 of Texas/TT/OU/A&M and probably Miami or at least UVA. Give Tulane 1 spot and ND is in.

just because every other league let's scrubs into their postseason doesn't make it right.
They’re all part of the same division, so gtfo with that shite. Just because the big brands want to consolidate into two super conferences doesn't mean you ignore the rest of the league. Modeling after the FCS removes the subjectivity and controversy, and rewards teams for actually winning their conference. Don’t call it a “national championship” if the 8 other conferences don’t matter.

Having G5 teams qualify for the same playoff as the P4 teams is like a 2A public school being in the same playoff as 5A private schools.

I didn't say anything about what division or conference teams are in.
I'm talking about getting rid of teams with 3+ losses no matter what division or conference you're in.
the season starts Labor Day weekend (or the week before for a few teams).
Start winning then. not in January.

yeah, sorry ACC champ. you lost FIVE fricking games this year.
wanted a chance to be labeled the "best" in the country? don't lose FIVE times.
you already lost to
multiple ACC teams
a team from the American
a team from the Big Ten
an Independent
those were your playoff games.
and you lost them.

Except it’s not, all are part of D1. It’s more like 5A in Texas vs 6A.
I will grant you it’s not basketball or baseball when a hot shooter or a good pitcher and a lower level team can advance. But with an expanded field I have no problem including at least 1. Of course that was designed for an undefeated Boise or UCF ot 2 loss Tulane, but we do not need 3 loss P4 teams getting a mulligan they had their chance. If you don’t want JMU then let’s go back to 4 which was perfect.

Clark Lea's classy response to Vanderbilt getting left out of the playoffs.
He also at some point added "we love playing football around here" as a nice passive-aggressive shot at the teams that opted out of a bowl.
I hope they beat the crap out of Iowa in their bowl.

If you think the G5 teams play close to the same level of competition as P4 teams, I have some oceanfront property to sell you in Arizona.
We’ve already seen what happened the last time that Tulane went to Oxford, we don’t need to see it again.
The G5 should have their own playoff, they should stop trying to be something they aren’t.
ETA: there are 2 loss P4 schools sitting at home while a 2 loss G5 Tulane is in the playoff, that’s absurd.

I don’t, so you can keep your Arizona beach front property. I do however understand nuance. The analogy was an over exaggeration.

That’s just a coincidence of the matchup and schedule is not necessarily the norm. However…
We’ve also already seen what Texas did against Ohio St and UGA so we don’t need to give them another chance either.

Those teams already had their chance, the solution is not to include them in an expanded playoff but to go back to a smaller field
