They have no room in the current playoff. Oregon and JMU as a night game is plain ridiculous. Give them their own playoff like the FCS.

Realistically the P4 should just become it's own division

64 team division

4 16 team conferences

Rotating 8 game conference / 2 game out of conference schedule

Weeks 1-2 everyone plays a G4 or FCS teams ONLY as a "preseason"

Done & done

Yeah only "schools" whose dumbass donors spend $40+ million on their rosters should be allowed in

Power conference teams should stop playing Group teams.

Power conference teams should only play other power teams.

Ole Miss is favored by 12.5 and Oregon by 21.5. No one wants to seriously watch that shite.

Agree these smaller schools whose players actually are there to go to school and get a degree should be shown the door

"College" football should basically just be a minor league pro football league where if you don't have a billionaire donors bankrolling your "schools" 50 million dollar roster you should go frick yourself

Well if fans of power conference schools think that the group conference needs their own playoff then power conference teams should play only other power conferences teams.

I see the sarcasm, but fighting the inevitable is just a longer path to getting there.

The line I saw was 17.5, so even worse.

No one wants those arse matchups. Ole Miss vs ND and Oregon vs Texas would’ve been much better and more interesting matchups.

And then we’ll hear about how shitty the Big 12 and ACC are compared to the SEC/Big 10.

If you want the best teams and the regular season to matter, go back to a 2 team NC or 4 team playoff. If you want expansion, don’t complain when a bunch of teams that don’t win their conference or don’t play in a conference don’t get in.

I'd like to undo the superconferences.

The P6 get byes. Combine the others into a G4 and have play-in games for the last two spots.

No, all you have to do is get rid of the 5 conference champion automatic qualifier rule.
It should be 3, and that’s throwing them a bone (them being ‘G5’ and ACC and B12)

But the real answer is that back when we had only 2 or 4 teams we thought #11 and #12 wouldn’t really matter. Like who cares who gets it at that point, at least we know all the best teams are covered. #3 and #5 was the issue to solve back then. But now here we are arguing about number 12. And I think they knew this would happen and the media feeds into the controversy knowingly and the plan for 64 team madness is inevitable because they want to milk this pig dry
