12 conferences of 10 teams. 9 game conference schedule. Make conferences regionally compact again. Zero neutral site games.
Big East
ACC
Big 10
SEC
PAC 10
SWC
MWC
American
Sun Belt
MAC
Joint TV contracts to broadcast between Fox, ABC, NBC and ESPN. No network has exclusive rights to any particular conference. 50% of TV deal is split equally between the 120 teams. The other 50% is distributed based off of TV appearances by conference.
Each conference champion gets in, 12 at large bids. NIL salary floor and cap. Exceeding the cap, tv money is forfeited over to the general distribution pool of 50%.
Portal reform. 1 free undergraduate transfer, 1 free post graduate transfer.
Eliminate bowl games.

Because a larger playoff field reduces the stakes for regular season games.
SEC teams were routinely left out of the playoff for having one or two losses. That’s a dumb system. It’s the reason we had arguments about strength of schedule for two decades.

Six or 8 tops

Exactly. That’s why an expanded playoff has been created by smart people. The 90 years of arguing about stuff that can never be proved was just a waste of mental energy. Those days are now over - you can beat your chest all you want about schedules, sell outs, conference affiliation, etc, but in a playoff system you have to prove it on the field and not in an argument.

How about move the game to game 1 and post the sisters of the poor in the last game.

I got used to the 12 Team playoff and was fine with it.... Also, it preserved the Bowls which let any team with a pulse to practice and play & have some fun....

Perfect would’ve been 8 teams selected with the BCS formula or something similar. Regular season and conference championship games still very important. Plus we’d still get to argue over the 9th and 10th teams.

Middle of the BCS era formula seeding a 6-team playoff.
Top two get a 1 round bye
No auto-bids for conference champion
No auto-bid for highest G6
No auto-bid for Notre Dame
This is the way.

I'd like to see a 20 team B10 and 20 team SEC tell the rest of the country to frick off and play each other in the Rose Bowl.

4 team playoff seemed to work well

Recruiting is no longer regional and players don’t stick around one place long enough to actually care about who they’re playing for or against.
Yep.
Most of the big boys recruit nationally now. Going back through Alabama's national championship teams and seeing the percentage of players who hailed from Alabama on each one of them tells the story:
1961 - 74% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
1964 - 73% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
1965 - 67% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
1973 - 77% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
1978 - 72% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
1979 - 68% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
1992 - 67% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
2009 - 53% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
2011 - 50% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
2012 - 40% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
2015 - 35% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
2017 - 35% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama
2020 - 38% of Alabama's roster was from Alabama

I’m surprised it took as long as it did for players to realize they didn’t need to risk their pro earning potential in a meaningless exhibition game.
We are going to hit a point where dudes opt out entire seasons. The majority of the guys that suit up don’t give a shite about who they play for, just how much they make.

Certain players absolutely should sit out from college. The NFL has an open draft. It’s not restricted to college players. The NFL has had plenty if players who never played college football.
And did someone really say the 4 team playoff ensured any undefeated teams would get a chance? A major reason the 4 teamer died was when the committee decided an injury to 1 player should discount 12 regular season wins and a conference championship win. Talk about the regular season not counting for anything. And yet, this same team had the top defense in the country. That’s what woke the majority of people up and led us to this beautiful 24 team playoff - soon to be 32.

If they were both 7-4 going into the game, did anybody care?
In the 80s and maybe 90s yes, but since the BCS and the proliferation of everything being on TV and OSU being nationally top 5 for most years the past 20, the interest would be way down now.
The Game this year will have the lowest viewership numbers in the last 20 years IMO

conference champions only playoffs.
