I agree settle it on the field. I would let the conference champions automatically qualify, that’s only right, but everybody else should get it based on their records.
I agree that one committee is one too many, but part of me would like to see all the committees play against each other until only one remains so they get the idea first hand on what it means to settle it on the field.
I don’t like the idea of making the majority of the season meaningless. If, say, Ole Miss loses three games early but happens to catch fire down the stretch to end up ranked #11, they’re in without having to go to Atlanta. Meanwhile, Clemson could be 10-1 going up against an 7-4 South Carolina. For Clemson, that game doesn’t have too much playoff implication because they’ve already wrapped up their spot in the ACCCG and are highly ranked enough that it wouldn’t hurt them to lose that game. That’s what made the 4-team playoff and even BCS era so exciting. There was ZERO wiggle room. If you lost, you prayed for mayhem to go your way.
Like what your saying however is that possible with out first either streamlining the national conferences first. Meaning, if one conference has 16 or so teams and a second conference has only 8 or so teams would it be right to only take conference champs for the playoffs? Also, do we work strength of conferences into the equation? I am totally for ridding the system of the committees, just want to be sure we can have a fairly level field when setting the rules😉
Good point man! I always felt that they should have a playoff in the FBS. But we know at the FBS it’s all about the money and ratings. March madness they start off with 64 teams including schools from the FCS.
Hello sir i know this is a older video but i wanted to say welcome to a very exclusive club were you made the final 4 in both football and basketball in the same year. As a michigan state fan i humbly welcome you in
Josh Pate said it best. A bunch of people who don’t care about the sport came in and said: “I can break this, offer a solution, and make a boatload of money off it.”
If the point is to find the national champion, then having that many teams would devalue the regular season. If you are not one of the top 8 teams or so, should you really get a shot at the championship? I like the idea of playoffs, but a large playoff tournament with tons of teams to determine the natty in football seems like a waste of the regular season as well as a lottery ticket for the team that gets luckiest or the team with the best hot streak to win it all as opposed to the best team or team that has performed best all season.
It doesn't devalue the regular season, rather it'll create a much larger pool of good teams. Croots like to go to schools that have a shot at winning the natty. If the committee is always picking the top 4 out of a small group of teams, croots are only going to sign with that small group of teams
If we are looking for the best and most deserving team after a regular season of play, then truly there shouldn't be much more than 8 teams that really deserve a shot. 12 is pushing it. It becomes who get lucky in a four game tournament as opposed to who exceled all season. What is a 7-5 team wins the natty? @@basedbulgarian511
Ok, This may be too simple to understand by the COMMITTEE. 4 Power 5 (Is the BiGTen in charge) or 4 Power 4...whatever. Conference champs get automatic bids. So there's 4 right there. Group of 6 plus Oregon State/Wazzou, highest ranked conference champion, yep auto bid. So there's 5. If we go to 14 or 16 teams which I think would be perfect, then a group of 6 team can get in if they are ranked in the top 16. So you could have 2 G6 teams get in, you have 4 other auto qualifiers, so you are left with 11 or 12 spots to host the annual Big 10-SEC tournament.
12 to 16 would be fine with me IF every conference champ gets a bid. Every team has a path, and if you don't win your conference, you leave it to opinion. The committee could stay IF they ditch the rule about letting injuries take teams off the table. Of course, if the conference champs get in, that alleviates the biggest complaint about this last Playoff selection.
The other divisions play fewer games in a regular season than FBS. If they are giong to expand the playoff season, they need to think about shortening the regular season, or when are they going to have time to go to class?
No they don't. The FCS plays a 12 regular season schedule just like the FBS does. They don't play a conference championship, but neither do all the FBS conference or the Independents like Norte Dame. What Funnymaine did miss and maybe he did not include them in the 24 teams that make the FCS playoffs is that they don't include the Ivey League schools or the HCBC (Historical Black Colleges) both of which have opted out of the FCS playoff system I like the FCS system and it is better than what the FBS has. They don't rank or seed teams until after the regular season. DII schools play 11 regular season games so only one less than FBS. and DIII play 10 regular season games.
12 teams are fine. I guess we should just give up on pretending these kids are STUDENTS, then have it be mini NFL, but I don't want to sound cynical. Pretty soon this will turn into the new march madness and they will invite 64 teams, just so everyone feels like they did well.
Sounds great!BUT you know us Bama fans we like it because everybody else says it gives us an advantage. We'll if you gonna beat Bama you better do it in the next 2 years. Cause we will be starting another DYNASTY.
Could not agree more, all this talk about “more playoff teams means the season doesn’t matter” is pure nonsense!! Under the current rules, only 4 conferences have a shit every year, so that 5th conference just lacks it in at the end of the season (or gets left out entirely despite being undefeated) and really you are only rewarding the same very few teams year after year! With 12+ teams, you ensure winning your conference matters and IS rewarded overall, and you allow those teams that didn’t win it (Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, etc) motivation to continue working hard to get a lower seed at least!! It doesn’t dilute the sport, it ENRICHES it very much like March Madness does for BBall!!
NFL only works because they have a unified league with divisions laid out. You won't get that from college football because the conferences won't play nice and act like divisions do in the NFL. Also, the divisions are required to mostly play the same opponents (including each other), so it sorts out tiebreakers. No more rivalries if the NCAA does that.
I’m done trying to figure out what’s the best playoff to go with 1.people will complain regardless 2.these people making decisions don’t care about the integrity of the sport all they care about is $$$ Whatever happens happens I think eventually there’s gonna be a super league and the conferences will Cease to exist
A simple way would be if you win your conference you are in the playoffs..... Then put each conference in a hat, and pull them out to find out who plays who.... (this could be done at the start of the season) If you cant win your conference, then you have no business in the playoffs.
Sadly, gone are the days of the true student-athlete that attended college to prepare for their long haul future, and sports was merely a means for financial assistance, i.e. scholarships. It’s been alluded to a few times in the comments - with NIL, expanded playoffs, and the dreaded Portal, CFB has been cemented as nothing more than the NFL’s farm league. CFB players now chase money rather than loyalty, learning to deal with adversity, and true personal growth. But then perhaps they always have and the powers that be have only simplified the chase. In reality I think no playoff system has a hope of being fair unless it utilizes a round robin form for seeding the bracket then playing the bracket out. Remember too that unless the rules have changed all games must be completed within a semester. Certainly not much learning during the season now and with a potential 16-17 game season …. You get the picture. Not to mention the increased odds of serious injury due to the lengthened season and today’s not-letting-the-defense-substitute offenses.
At least 2 too few. We should have 16 8-team conferences. Each team plays 7 conference opponents plus 3-4 non conf games to pad their home revenues. Then go to playoffs - conference vs. conference - #1 vs. #1, #2 vs. #2...call that the "Who's The Really The Better Conference Bowl Game" - top to bottom - which conference wins more. Then let the #1 Game Winners be seeded by that Conference vs. Conference Final Season bowl game. Let the 16 #1s play, then those winner go to Round 2, and so on. A real playoff system.
And nobody cares about the FCS playoffs, so by all means, let's immitate them. How many people even know who won the FCS championship last year? That is where we are heading. Every kid gets a trophy. Tell me one year the BCS didn't crown the best team champions??? They got it right. New rules, "No team gets left behind, no matter how bad they are". I guess since Notre Dame isn't in a conference, they will declare themselves conference champs every year and get an automatic spot.
"Every kid gets a trophy" is closer to how bowl games work NOW. This isn't even giving playoff teams trophies. Do you see March Madness teams get trophies for making it or winning the first three rounds? No. The regional winners get one. The national champs get another one. This is a move to try to keep wider interest from people who tune out as soon as their team loses one game and their playoff hopes are done. I don't like it. That's what the money says. It also gives a door to teams who used to be boxed out from before day 1. The last time a national champ was outside the big boys was 1984 BYU. This opens the door for mid-majors to pitch a path to the playoff. Something the TV networks made sure they didn't have after some Mormon school showed up the good ol Protestant and Catholic boys.
@goonerbear8659 the last year a national champion got left out in the cold was... 2023. Because of one questionable call in the SEC championship game. Powerhouse conferences experience this often as there is an outcry when two teams might make the championship level, like Bama and UGA, Michigan and Ohio State, etc. A NC game that bored everyone? 2012, I think it was, when Bama obliterated an undeserving Notre Dame. UGA lost the SEC prize in the last play - even Saban said it was a shame anyone had to lose. It was essentially the national game early. It's happened with other conferences as well. The FSU debacle last year was to me the last straw in the whole committee concept. They should have had the chance to play, but instead got beat up even more by the equally salty national champion that had run the table before the soon-to-retire Saban got a last gift from NCAA. I say let em play by the rules set up at the start and let the chips fall where they may. 12 slots should eliminate the worst scenarios I stated above. I'm sure the no. 13 will still he mad though, even if their best opponent was UConn.
"Tell me one year the BCS didn't crown the best team champions??? They got it right." Are you serious? I dont think you remember the BCS very well..... - 2000 - FSU played Oklahoma, FSU literally lost to Miami during the season, yet somehow still made the title over Miami despite having the same record..... - 2001 - Nebraska got BLOWN THE F OUT by #4 Colorado the last game of the season. #3 Oregon and #4 CU won their conference, yet Nebraska still played Miami in the National Title game. - 2002 - Ohio State won the title on a bs call. - 2003 - Oklahoma got BLOW THE F OUT by KSU in the B12 championship game, yet still made the title game over literally #1 USC somehow - 2004 - 5 TEAMS WENT UNDEFEATED..... Yes USC was great, Auburn beat 3 Top 10 teams, 5 Top 25 teams and undefeated - but they dont have a shot? Utah DESTROYED their schedule - nobody came within 17 points and they never trailed in a single quarter of a single game all season, and they had the #1 NFL draft pick on their team. - 2006 - Boise State was the only undefeated team, had the #1 offense in the country and went undefeated for the 3rd time in 5 years (so clearly not a fluke). - 2007 - Bruh are you serious? "Tell me one year didnt crown the best team"? 7 of the Top 8 teams HAD THE SAME RECORD! Kansas had the best record in the country. The B12 SEC and Big East had 3 way ties for first! Wtf sport were you watching in 2007? - 2008 - Two teams went undefeated - NEITHER played in the title game. Texas beat Oklahoma, but due to a 3 way tie in the B12 didnt make the championship game. Utah beat 5 Top 25 teams, including 2 Top 10 - but I guess SOS just doesnt apply to the G5 when they actually play a tough schedule huh? - 2009 - 5 TEAMS WENT UNDEFEATED. Alabama had the most ranked wins. TCU had the #1 defense. Boise State had the #1 offense (Boise State went back to back undefeated, and undefeated for the 5th time in 8 years). - 2010 - TCU goes undefeated in back to back seasons, and has one of the most hardcore resumes in the last 25 years. This team beat 5 Top 25 teams by a 29.5 margin of victory, posted the #4 offense in the country, and #1 defense in the country by a mile, yet got jumped out of a championship game...... Bruh they beat a Top 6 team on the road by 40 and DROPPED IN THE RANKINGS....... and this sport tried to act like it wasnt corrupt af! - 2011 - Selection verbatim contradicted 2006; Alabama doesnt even win their division yet magically outranks three teams that did and had the same record as Alabama. Oklahoma State had more ranked wins than Alabama, and the whole narrative of "SEC is best" doesnt even work against Boise State who DESTROYED SEC East Champ Georgia in OOC! - 2012 - Ohio State goes undefeated, but doesnt make the title game for doing the same thing 2022 Tenn did, but they lose their bowl privileges unlike the SEC. "Tell me one year the BCS didn't crown the best team champions??? They got it right" Tell me you have no idea wtf youre talking about, without telling me........
The playoffs have already been top heavy in the past for the most part and 12 teams would make it a joke. Also the records determining the playoff is a good concept but that would make it so there would be an equal number of acc teams as sec teams if its by division so that would not go over well lol
@@Chronixx6 A larger playoff would increase the number of schools that top recruits go to. Recruits care about winning a natty, and they'll only pick the teams they know are likely to make it. Larger field = larger potential pool of national championship schools = talented recruits spread out to more schools
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. 12 is too many for the CFP, as is any number above that. The folks that are making decisions for college football have been blinded by all of those TV Deal $'s. This is not good for the game. The higher the number of playoff teams you have, the less important the regular season becomes. A 6 team, or maybe 8 team, playoff would have been plenty of expansion to determine a National Champion. Football is NOT basketball, nor should it be. College Football should not be involved with "handing out participation trophies" by continuous CFP expansion. The volume of $$$'s is ruining the game, in more ways than one.
The number of bowls we have now as cities look for that cash grab - sometimes teams with a 5-7 record go bowling now - THAT is the participation trophy. And with NIL we essentially turn the biggest conferences into NFL farm leagues (looking at you, SEC and B1G). An expanded playoff is the best option to garner interest for fans tired of seeing the same few teams every January. Given the number of conferences there are, 12 seems a good number to avoid the constant "can't have 2 teams from [insert power 5 conference here] argument. Make it 12 teams and ditch the partial committees. Nothing good ever comes out of committees.
@@jawjagrrlYou and I agree that there are teams that go "Bowling" with mediocre records, that should not be "Bowling" at all. That is not the participation trophy crowd I am referring to. I am referring to those teams that are 9-12 (and more later) that get in. You don't need to be a conference champion to win a Natty. Sometimes, a conference has multiple, really good teams, any of which could potentially win a Natty. That frequency will increase with the coming "super-conferences" in the B1G and SEC. The other thing to remember is that conferences are not all equal, and some are not even comparable. Who you play, and of course, how you play, matters. But as I said previously, CFP expansion is not about what is good for the game of college football. It is only about how to maximize TV deal $'s.
You said it best rules before and play it out on the field
I agree settle it on the field. I would let the conference champions automatically qualify, that’s only right, but everybody else should get it based on their records.

How do you evaluate strength of schedules though? And if your gonna say SOS Im gonna give you historical examples of how bs that "metric" is.....

They are suppose to have automatic bids for conference champions, I don't like that because you won't get the 12 best teams still
Should be win / loss record like NFL! “Abolish the Committee”
I may be biased, but at the rate they are going they should go ahead and just give the SEC sixteen automatic qualifiers and ten first round bye weeks.
Screw the SEC :)

- 2010 - TCU goes undefeated in back to back seasons, and has one of the most hardcore resumes in the last 25 years. This team beat 5 Top 25 teams by a 29.5 margin of victory, posted the #4 offense in the country, and #1 defense in the country by a mile, yet got jumped out of a championship game...... Bruh they beat a Top 6 team on the road by 40 and DROPPED IN THE RANKINGS....... and this sport tried to act like it wasnt corrupt af!
- 2011 - Selection verbatim contradicted 2006; Alabama doesnt even win their division yet magically outranks three teams that did and had the same record as Alabama. Oklahoma State had more ranked wins than Alabama, and the whole narrative of "SEC is best" doesnt even work against Boise State who DESTROYED SEC East Champ Georgia in OOC!
- 2012 - Ohio State goes undefeated, but doesnt make the title game for doing the same thing 2022 Tenn did, but they lose their bowl privileges unlike the SEC.
"Tell me one year the BCS didn't crown the best team champions??? They got it right"
Tell me you have no idea wtf youre talking about, without telling me........
14 Teams is too many the Regular season should have meaning. I think that 8 teams is the right number but I am OK with 12
FACT Funny Maine was great with the Committee when they let his Alabama team in the Playoffs over an Undefeated Florida State. My how things change
They should make it 16 teams because there's no such thing as too much college football
The playoffs have already been top heavy in the past for the most part and 12 teams would make it a joke. Also the records determining the playoff is a good concept but that would make it so there would be an equal number of acc teams as sec teams if its by division so that would not go over well lol
Playoffs are top heavy because they're so small
@@basedbulgarian511 so how would it change with the number one team facing the number 12 team instead of 1vs 4? Just more blow outs
@@Chronixx6 A larger playoff would increase the number of schools that top recruits go to. Recruits care about winning a natty, and they'll only pick the teams they know are likely to make it. Larger field = larger potential pool of national championship schools = talented recruits spread out to more schools
@@basedbulgarian511 winning games doesn’t mean nearly as much anymore though. They care about money as you can see with FSU this year
@@Chronixx6 So let's get more teams in and reduce the effect of the committee's bias. Settle it on the field
anything beyond a #5 and #6 play-in is just nonsense.
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. 12 is too many for the CFP, as is any number above that. The folks that are making decisions for college football have been blinded by all of those TV Deal $'s. This is not good for the game. The higher the number of playoff teams you have, the less important the regular season becomes. A 6 team, or maybe 8 team, playoff would have been plenty of expansion to determine a National Champion. Football is NOT basketball, nor should it be. College Football should not be involved with "handing out participation trophies" by continuous CFP expansion. The volume of $$$'s is ruining the game, in more ways than one.
The number of bowls we have now as cities look for that cash grab - sometimes teams with a 5-7 record go bowling now - THAT is the participation trophy. And with NIL we essentially turn the biggest conferences into NFL farm leagues (looking at you, SEC and B1G). An expanded playoff is the best option to garner interest for fans tired of seeing the same few teams every January. Given the number of conferences there are, 12 seems a good number to avoid the constant "can't have 2 teams from [insert power 5 conference here] argument.
Make it 12 teams and ditch the partial committees. Nothing good ever comes out of committees.
@@jawjagrrlYou and I agree that there are teams that go "Bowling" with mediocre records, that should not be "Bowling" at all. That is not the participation trophy crowd I am referring to. I am referring to those teams that are 9-12 (and more later) that get in. You don't need to be a conference champion to win a Natty. Sometimes, a conference has multiple, really good teams, any of which could potentially win a Natty. That frequency will increase with the coming "super-conferences" in the B1G and SEC. The other thing to remember is that conferences are not all equal, and some are not even comparable. Who you play, and of course, how you play, matters. But as I said previously, CFP expansion is not about what is good for the game of college football. It is only about how to maximize TV deal $'s.
