I won’t be surprised when LSU gets hot and wins the CFP one year with 3 losses.
2005 or 2006 LSU were both teams that were good enough to win it all. Especially 06.
Les probably still fricks it up but the talent was there
UGA has had a few teams that I think could of made a serious run at it

Lol one was fluke arse Ohio State and the other was Alabama who was really a #2 or #1 that just happened to drop a head scratcher late in the season to Auburn. Historically the #4 has been terrible and none competitive.
I understand it's a subtle brag by a Ohio State fan since they did it first but your team is hot garbage. Bunch of slow corn fed retards running around embarrassing themselves.

This whole thing is nightmare. The best thing about CFB was that it WAS NOT the NFL which sucks now. It used to be that the regular season was must watch because one USC slip up at Oregon State late on a Saturday night was a huge, season altering event. When they started giving huge programs mulligans for not getting it done during the season this whole house of cards started. I feel that this CFB world that we all loved is too far gone now and they might as well put Roger Goodell in charge of it too at this point. And I am an LSU fan which is a team that will or could really benefit from this set up.

For the 500th time...this is FALSE!!! The last 30 years has devalued the regular season to the point that 5-7 teams were getting bowl invites. Please come up with a new argument.

2 or 4 is much better.

So using this scenario, if USC lost to Oregon State week 4, then all their games the rest of the season are meaningless.
If anything, this makes the regular season even more meaningful in almost every way. The repercussions of a loss are less severe but a much larger number of games will matter for playoff implications.

Christ when will the season end? At this point the 2 teams in the final will roll right into spring football practice.

Exactly...the "meaningful regular season" people need to be debunked in every post. Its a lazy and tired talking point. This 12 team system creates MORE meaningful games for the entirety of the season for MORE teams. Again, its a tired argument.

Sarcasm or not there, you’re correct.
The “regular season won’t matter” crowd is just wrong….the regular season has been pretty dull for a while now. Bama, Clemson, and tOSU have pulled so far ahead within their conferences that they’re each really only challenged 2-3 times at most a year (less if you’re Clemson in the embarrassing ACC). Even if they trip up, they often can afford the mulligan anyway. So for the most part, the regular season has been meaningless for a while. Does expanding fix this? No but it makes more teams and more games relevant. It’ll make Clemson have to work a little harder to get to a title game. It’ll give us some fun match ups the bowl games aren’t giving us due to antiquated conference tie ins. It’ll give fans a chance to see fun non conference playoff match ups in their stadiums ADs have stopped giving us,

This seems to incentivize being a 5, 6, 7, or 8 seed as opposed to winning your conference and getting a bye. Hosting a home playoff game is big $$$ in addition to another good test for the kids.

This is eapecially true for a team like Notre Dame that wouldnt have to play in an extra conference title game.

Yeah if anything they got this backwards. You should be rewarded with the home game for the top whatever teams and then let the other bowl games sort out the rest
It’s not like those big bowl games even mean anything any more when you can “win” multiple of them in one play off run

God I hate this idea

Too much money running through those bowl committees, they won’t just go away
Posted on 6/11/21 at 12:09 pm to jlovel7
So the G5 teams will still complain. Might as well make it 16 with 10 auto bids and 6 at large.

I know, it’s wild NFL teams don’t lose to avoid getting a bye.

They blew it.
Deep down, we all knew they would.
They need to eliminate the early season neutral site games in Atlanta and Jerry World with this model. Get regular season games back on campus except for Red River and the Cocktail Party. But they won't do that either.

100% in agreement on this.
I also want to see some traditional rivalry games restored like:
Kansas vs Mizzou
Texas vs Texas a&M
West Virginia vs Pitt
Central Florida vs Connecticut

your view is extremely narrow.
A ton of people across this country feel the CFB season is a pointless exercise simply because there are teams that technically qualify for the championship that would never get a shot even with an undefeated season.
Whatever your issues are with this proposal, none of the bravado and rhetoric has refuted the fact that this will absolutely expand the interest of CFB across the country, and will keep more teams and fans engaged in the season much further into the season.
It will also likely broaden the interest of those who are already fully engaged in their team. You don't think if LSU is sitting at #5 and comfortably in the playoff, that fans won't be more interested in the games that will determine the #12 spot, compared to now? That's in addition to any games impacting the top 4 spots, which would already be of interest in today's format.
