I don't like the idea of making bowls at the beginning of the year because 1 It's tradition to have them in December. 2 It gives coaches a gauge of what their roster will look like next season. 3 It means less football between Thanksgiving and the natty. 4 The lower bowl games still mean something to the fans. Winning the orange bowl against Clemson was HUGE for Tennessee. Winning the citrus bowl against Iowa was big, and it gave us confidence in Nico.
1. Tradition no longer matters in college football. I would rather watch a game that mattered at the start of next season, then teams sending 3rd and 4th stringers to play a meaningless game to win a meaningless trophy. 2. With nil and the transfer portal, teams are going to change so much between seasons, that this roster that plays in the bowl game will be nothing close to the roster that starts next season. 3. It might mean less football total, but the games were already meaningless, and it builds more excitement for the cfb playoffs. 4. Any team that has a good amount of players going to the draft are not going to play their best, so while it might give young guys confidence, going into the offseason and getting more preparation for next season will give them just as much
I think everyone is leaving out the players who won’t go to the NFL not getting to play in their final college football game, that they worked to go to. Seems pretty messed up to me
The vols suck and idk how you guys made the playoffs. Well I do, there was 12 teams. In a 4team playoff world the Vols would never sniff the playoffs. Good job on beating Iowa last year and the confidence you have in your future Arena league qb
It’s for SEC fan boys to crank one out to. “Aw man I miss the good old days where only the SEC could pay players and I could cheer on our rivals and watch them win championships against the 4th or 5th best team in the country and brag about our rivals success like it was my team winning”
13:24 they should implement a G5 playoff irl. My idea is do a 4 team playoff of all the G5 Conference Champions that were left out of the playoff (this would be Ohio, Army, Jacksonville State, and Marshall). I think this has the potential to bring attention to these smaller schools and conferences that desperately need it
get rid of auto seeding. have 5 auto bids: ACC champ, B12 champ, B1G champ, SEC champ, best G5 conf champ. those 5 are all guaranteed home playoff games where rounds 1 and 2 both happen on college campuses. make the natty the first monday in january so we are forcing the committee to wrap the playoffs up and not drag them on. re-seed after every round that way the highest seed always plays the lowest seed, next highest plays next lowest, and so forth. no more 1 month waits. playoffs start 1 week after army-navy and happen every week after that with no extra weeks in between
I like this idea but then the New Years Six Bowls would not be on New Year’s Day. Currently there would have to be 1-2 Saturdays where they don’t play or else players are playing 2 games in a week. I don’t have a problem with moving those Bowl Games but I know that it would affect a lot of people.
I think it’d be really cool to have a G5 playoff and a P4/5 playoff. Then you could have the champions open the next year in Week 0 in neutral site. Be able to gauge the gap between the two groups. And turquoise is my favorite.
I would put the bowl games in the spring. Putting them at the beginning of the season would create a possibility of a team playing 18 games (bowl plus 12 regular season games plus conference championship plus up to four playoff games).
My idea on the transfer portal: A recruited player is attached to a coach. They do it on 247 sports (Recruited by ...). If the head coach or that coach leaves the school, the player can leave without penalty. If the player wants to leave while those coaches are there, they have to sit out for a year.
Duck fan here. The first video of yours I seen was on the “GoGo” a month or so ago and on New Years I was at a bar here on Portland watching the game. I walked in and we were down 14-0 already. When I started watching and trying to decipher what Chip Kelly was doing, it didn’t take long for me to see he had added some “GoGo” formations to his bag. I think he has always valued innovation, playing numbers to his advantage, using tempo and a lot of the same things that are pillars of the gogo so in hindsight, we should have seen it coming. Neither I, nor the Defensive staff at Oregon saw that coming. If it had not been for your video I would not have known what had just happened to us, but your video helped me through this tough time. Keep up the good work. The CFP does need some fixing. I think having twelve teams is unnecessary. Going from a balanced tournament of 4 teams to an unbalanced of 12 was wild. 12 teams in decreases the importance of regular season games. We are gonna have a national champion that didn’t even win their own conference and that doesn’t feel right, I know it’s happened before but now we are looking at the possibility of two teams in the title game where neither won their conference. I’d be more in favor of an 8 team tournament than I would a 6. That’s way they seeded the tournament was wild, with ASU and Boise being arguably the two weakest teams getting first round byes. Tennessee and SMU I think were in the playoffs as well, with no shot to win it. Indiana shouldn’t have been there either. The BCS seemed to love the SEC so much, and would always seem to find a way to have one of the two spots reserved for them. And most years I don’t think we’d get the two best teams in the championship game for one reason or another. I hope the CFP is already reconsidering future fixes to the current format.
Thank you for the kind words on the 'Go Go' offense. I think the BCS video will explain how I would approach it, but in THIS specific climate there would have to be fundamental changes to the sport. It is crazy to me that they are already considering the 14 team expansion as if adding more teams is going to make this easier.
Zomp. Also the bowl thing is really interesting, the premier league (soccer in england) do something similar where the team with the best record plays the winner of their tournament at the beginning of the following season for the community shield. It works there, I think it could work in college sports too, but the bowls will need to be heavily marketed so it feels like an important game still
It needs to be like the UEFA Champions League. Every conference should have a coefficient based on results in inter-conference play. It would make out of conference scheduling and bowl games relevant.
I think if you move bowl games to next year, that the cfb playoffs should remain 12 teams, the top 5 conference winners should still get in, but not get the auto bye. I think there are still 12 teams that could win the playoffs some years. This year, teams like smu and Boise didn’t look great, but look at asu. They took Texas to 2 overtime’s, and they would not have gotten in if it was only 6. It also adds to the possibility of a team like ucf from a couple years back getting to prove themselves in the playoffs. If your going to remove bowl games from December, you have to keep a couple weeks of meaningful football
I could not agree more with implementing the 1 year rule. Back when there was no NIL it was kind of stupid to restrict transferring because players weren’t getting paid and if they were it was secretive and for a lot less money. But now that you can go anywhere and get paid huge amounts of money. It’s taking away whole rosters and giving a very slim amount of schools power. Even school that have been dominate in the past like Alabama won’t be able to compete with the kind of money that Texas schools have. I think bringing the rule back would make players stay longer, help them develop with their teams, and would help tampering as well as NIL.
Getting paid directly from schools would lead to the cutting of non revenue generating sports. You get only one free transfer and then every one after that cost half a season
My changes would be that NIL is given at the end of the season after bowl games and the playoffs, make the kids earn it and that keeps them from optioning out of a bowl game. #2 change I do like the one year wait for the transfer portal, but I would make it a one and done, you can only get in once, so be sure where you want to go to is really where you want to go to. #3 Coaches, if you leave to go to another team they have to sit a year too and they forfeit their salary if they leave before their contract is up.
I don't like the bowl idea and I like a 12 team playoff. There HAS to be changes to the whole NIL/Transfer Portal problem though. A cap, one free transfer and then you sit out if you transfer again, and a commissioner or group to make sure recruiting and transfer recruiting is fair. I think after a few years teams will be a bit more balanced leading to more competitive games in the 12 team playoff. I think it would be great if conferences went back to 10-12 teams or added divisions. The large conferences with no divisions have been intriguing, but there's a handful of teams I'd like to see play every year and they aren't now.
think the playoff seeding should be reworked, it seems a bit whacky to me that the most preferable seed is 5/6/7 given the lower ranked champs getting top seeds. i agree top 5 champs get in, but i think the seeds 1-4 should be 1) a conference champion ranked 1-6 (top half of playoff), then next best at=large. this year the matchups is this scenario: Clemson @ ND (12-5) ASU @ Ohio St (11-6) SMU @ Tenn (10-7) Boise @ IU (9-8) QF would then be Boise? Oregon Tennesee Georgia Ohio State Texas ND Penn State IMO this is a much more rewarding system for the best teams, and i think there are some really good matchups waiting to happen
Put caps on the amount of money each school can pay their players, each player can only transfer once each transfer after that, each player gets a suspension for 4 games, and portal opens after the postseason. Expand playoffs to the top 16 teams in the nation, no byes. The top team in the top 6 conferences get auto bids (so top two seeds likely play G5 teams). Also create a second bracket for the next 16 teams and do away with conference championships.
So far i think 8 teams is better for the playoffs with The NY6 being the playoff games in a better format than 12 teams with 4 home games right before Christmas. I would keep 4 auto bids for conference champions but the first 4 seeded teams should be treated like the original playoff format where it's the 4 best teams overall. Also no bye-weeks. So my hypothetical layoff would be 1: Oregon 2: Georgia 3: Texas 4: Notre Dame 5: Clemson 6: Bosie State 7: Arizona State 8: Ohio State/Penn State Oregon v.s Ohio State would be Rose Bowl Georgia v.s Arizona State would Cotton Bowl Texas v.s Boise State is still the Fiesta Bowl and Notre Dame vs Clemson would be the Sugar Bowl
I don’t agree with a G5 playoff because watching Boise State play Oregon in week 2 (they led for most of the game and lost on a last second field goal) you can’t convince me that Purdue is a team who gets to play for a more prestigious national title. If you can fix what teams move up and what teams move down I’m open to debating that but otherwise it’s a no for me
We all know college football isn't going back, so let's just take it to the "next" level: put players on contracts 1, 2, 3, or 4, years whatever. Players can hire managers/agents to do NIL agreements, but schools are out.
i agree with most of what is said here. I mostly just want bowls back. as a Badger fan they gave me something to look forward to, a goal beyond winning every week. now days it feels like unless we bring down our standards and find some local billionaires that want short term gain over long term recognition (grants and buildings) we will never get a completive top 12 spot so therefore we have nothing to play for.
@williamjasper2734 dont get me wrong, the committee sucks too but if the bcs chosen the teams, they would choose underserving teams like Alabama,Miami,Ole Miss and South Carolina to be in the playoffs(Look to the wikipedia page of the BCS controversies). I like the alternative more, i don't know the bcs would give a chances to teams in weaker conferences (Boise State, Arizona State,SMU and Indiana) to upset teams in bigger conferences. Yes, 3/4 of those david vs goliath games are blow outs but the first round of march madness is like this too and no one complain.
@@caesar-dynastysports yes its true the NCAA is motivated by money but it doesn't mean that the BCS was good. The NCAA know the playoffs system is objectively the best system possible on every aspect (including money) because they tried multiple times to make a playoffs system since the 1960's but at the time the bowl execs and big schools have soo much power so they lobbying against the implementation of a playoff system because they believe it benefits them but in the 1990's it crashed so they created the BCS because they need money, making the donors happy by trying to the bowls alive (until they cannot denied the TV ratings and public pressure). Ironically, the BCS would still be alive if they made a 12 playoffs team before it's too late (keeping a good reputation by preventing the controversies and making the NCAA lost money). The donors/tv contract money is the only reason why bowls are still a thing, im sure so many people watched the duke's mayo bowl... Everything time NCAA does something is for money and public image
Bud it’s not just Penn State. Ohio State has played like 5 Home Nights in the last 3 years. We have one of-if not THE-best stadium atmospheres, but the networks forcing their hand for scheduling is ruining it.
I don't think you need to fix anything...the way college football is really at its most pure...anyone...anyyear...has a shot...you got enough money and enough sway...you can get the players(just like before only now everyone can) so lets rumble baby
Limit teams to 10 incoming transfers a year. Portal opens in June for non graduates. NIL total cap per team. Keep it above board. Anyone caught breaking the rules is out. Make the CFP 16 teams starting in early Dec and the natty game on January 1. Bowl games should be preseason deals that factor into playoff selection. Use the BCS to seed the playoffs.
@@sportspodcasts4616 People just be spouting shi and dont think about what can and cant be done. Do they think if the NCAA or someone could make those changes they wouldn't have done it already?...there's more nuance to this situation than they realize.
The portal can't open in June. It opens when it opens because of academic calendars. These are still college students no matter how much it's de-emphasized. If you open the portal in June, almost no university allows admissions for fall at that point. All of those players would be ineligible to play which is effectively returning to the one-year sit out rule which courts struck down.
I like a lot of the ideas but the one year rule coming back and the bus coming back. There needs to be a cap on how many times u can transfer like 2 times in a 4 year span. I would personally like to see 8 team playoff with the teams being reseeded. Great video tho
NIL fix: either do rev share or not, however, schools/collectives cannot talk about money until the player has officially signed with a team. Removes the tampering and allows players to make the best decision for them. No AP polls until week 6, and all polls must be ranked without team names/logos. Pure based on results. This removes any strength of schedule bias or conference bias. 1 free transfer and 1 coaching change transfer. Every other transfer must sit out a year. Uniform scheduling, 9 conference games + 1 P5 non-con H&H game. Removes any scheduling disparity Referees answer for calls after games like the NBA 2 minute
Also, the current CFP format is fine, the only thing I’d bring back from the BCS is adding the computer & coaches polls in to determine seeding. Having to rely on a small group of people and trust that biases don’t get in the way, is clearly not working
No, the money needs to be talked about up front. Where is the money coming from? For example, Michigans money for the University is not made from just sports.
I don't love the idea of the 1-year rule because coaches still can bail on kids they recruited without scrutiny. Now guys that transferred in are burning a calendar year of their eligibility because they're coach left for a better opportunity
I disagree with moving the bowl games, yes players lately have been sitting out bowel games but there are also plenty of team where players don’t I.e. Oregon when they played Wisconsin in the Rose bowl. Justin Herbert who’s an elite NFL quarterback play not only the rose bowl but also the senior game.
Divide the nation into 4 geographical conferences of 36 teams, 4 divisions with 9 teams for each conference, bottom 2 teams get relegated to the lower division, top 2 get promoted, at the top division, the first place team goes to a 4 team playoff
Before watching the video, I think that they need to make it to where you have to sit out one year after you transfer so after you transfer, you have to sit out a year before you can play Edit just watch the video and I did not know that that was actually already a thing in college football
Piggy backing off your group of 5 playoff idea. Go back to a 4 team playoff but for power 4 and group of 5 separately. The winner of each bracket play each other to determine the national champion
I like the idea of the separation of the two, but my most aggressive change to CFB I would have is a demotion like system we see in soccer where you can be demoted to the G5 or promoted to the P4.
Notice how the majority of bowl games are in the sun belt? That's because they are in December/January so they are vacation destinations, especially for upper midwest fanbases. If you put them in August, that kind of defeats the point. Las Vegas in December is much more attractive than Las Vegas in August.
Yes but New York and Chicago are much better in August than December. The northern half of the US has vacation destinations, but no one visits them in winter. This format would spread them out
In general, I hate the subjectivity of college football. Even with “ strength of schedule/power computer ranking” you still have the human element programming it and it’s someone’s opinion. There will always be teams that have to play their way out the playoffs(UGA, Alabama , Ohio St., Notre Dame etc) and then those others that have no margin for error and have to play their way in .
Problem being with 133 teams there is always going to be such a wide range of schedule and strength in it. Unlike the NFL, compared to CFB; the 1st NFL team isnt a WIDE gap to the 32nd team. But in CFB its an WIDEEEE gap between 1 and 133. And if you cut it down you go towards the super league path (NFL jr.)
A lot of people are hard on the NCAA for doing nothing but the issue is that every time they try to do something their is a lawsuit and they lose and the NCAA continually losses power every time they try to act. Has the NCAA ever won a lawsuit?
Moving the bowl games to the beginning of the season is quite possibly the worst idea I've ever heard in my life. NFL teams use bowl games as additional scouting opportunities and you've moved them after the draft. College teams use them as scouting opportunities and you've moved them to after national signing day. Contrary to popular belief, programs exist outside of the 20 that compete to play in the playoffs and you've just removed the incentive for those teams to field competitive teams. Bowling Green has an awesome season. Too bad, your seniors get nothing to cap that off. East Carolina and North Carolina State don't start brawling after their bowl game this year if it was meaningless.
1. I disagree with the Bowl Games as Week 1. It's tradition to have them in December/January. It celebrates the end of the season and even though NFL-caliber players mostly opt out, it allows fans to get a look at how their team will look next season and gives a team momentum into the offseason. 2. I disagree with the 6-team playoff. Indiana, Arizona State, Boise State, and SMU's school pride skyrocketed by getting a playoff invite. It's absolutely amazing for the sport and for schools that normally wouldn't get an opportunity on the national spotlight to prove themselves. Plus, those schools put up a great fight despite being out-spent and out-talented. With a 6-team playoff, only the blue chip schools would get a bid. Let's spread the wealth. 3. I disagree with bringing back all divisions. Bringing back divisions would just essentially re-create dead conferences, Big Ten West would just become a glorified PAC-12, an ACC West would just become a glorified Big East, an SEC West would just become a Big XII 2.0. We'd get no big and wild conference matchups in the regular season like Texas vs. Alabama or Ohio State vs. Oregon. I think College Football is better with the PAC-12 being effectively dead (or at least not being a power conference anymore), I know some people disagree because of nostalgia, but this past season of College Football was one of the greatest in recent memory. 4 power conferences is perfect. Sure, we lose out a bit on some regional rivalries, but a shake up needed to happen. I'm all for protecting historic rivalries, but we don't need to protect every single regional matchup. Regional conferences just protect blue chip schools from actually having tough competition. Texas and OU were getting auto-Ws by being in a small regional conference against teams like Iowa State, Kansas, and Kansas State. Same with Ohio State and Michigan in the Big Ten. Pit the blue chip schools against each other! With that being said, the ACC needs to change its damn name if they are seriously going to have Cal and Stanford in their conference. 4. I disagree with the 1-year rule. The transfer portal is a key component to the player power dynamic. It prevents coaches from "recruit-hoarding" which was a serious problem before NIL and the portal. I agree that there should be some sort of limit on transferring though. Maybe a player is only allowed to transfer 3 times to D1 schools (they get a 4th transfer if they are coming from a JUCO or D2 team). 5. I agree that College Football needs a commissioner. It's clear that College Football is a multi-billion-dollar business now, it needs to be treated as such, with clear rules and regulations.
To be honest with the TV deal that the Big Ten has, if they add two more to make it 20 I could see them along with CBS, FOX, and NBC buying the whole Rose Bowl and doing there own thing and break away from the joke that is the bowl games.
The reason of the transfer portal is because making it so players transferring schools and not being able to play was deemed illegal by the courts. If any student can transfer schools and take classes without the input of their previous school, then it’s illegal for it to apply differently to student athletes attempting to play. The only solution like you said is to make players employees. With employees you could enforce limited transfers and tampering. Issue with that is that then eligibility window will no longer exist. Let me explain. If you make the players employees, then let’s say a 26 year old player who is out of eligibility wants to continue playing. They NCAA will say they can not keep them as an employee because they are too old and out of eligibility. Only issue with that is Age is a protected class when it comes to employment. So the player will sue the NCAA and their “employer” for discrimination related to race. The courts will rule that you can not deny due to age, and eligibility will have to coincide with all of the other university employees which effectively have none related to age. I am not against 26-28 year old players even if they take up rosters slots that could be going to younger players. Ultimately it’ll come down to the coaches to determine whether it’s better to develop new talent or to keep an established player.
The six team Playoff was the nail in the coffin, king shit. >Saban as commissioner, give him borderline dictatorial powers to fix the messes. He knows how to hire and delineate work to those who know more than him, he'd be great. >I'm not against the radical change with Bowls being at the beginning of the year, but people will then talk about there being literally nothing at the end of the regular season, except for the Conference Championships and Playoffs. Meaning that we're only talking about a dozen teams or so, the rest are left out to dry. I just think because of that, Bowls have to stay at the end of the season. Do more insurance policies, tie participation to NIL money, do whatever. >Six teams in the Playoffs was the obvious choice if you cared about the sport. No auto-bids, just the six best teams, and the top two get byes. First round can be a rotation of the Peach, Citrus, Cotton, and Orange Bowl, second round should *always* be the Sugar and Rose Bowls. And never give participation trophies to inferior teams because people have pity for them, like middle school girls with a stray cat. It's pathetic nonsense, and why we constantly have massive blowouts in the Playoffs over the last decade. >I don't mind the idea of leaving NIL alone and letting it sort itself out. Although, if we're going to have Saban as a commissioner, he wouldn't let that happen, nor should he. I don't even necessarily think a Salary Cap or anything of the sort is necessary though, because of the idea of the Transfer Portal requiring you to sit a year. >Forcing players to sit a year if they transfer sounds bad at first, but quickly becomes great once you realize the implications and slight tweaks you can make to ensure it's good for all. If a kid is at their school for two years and never (or barely) starts, I think allowing them to transfer without waiting is perfect. This fixes high school recruiting, it fixes tampering, it fixes maintaining your rosters, it gives kids who're honestly wasting their time a chance to leave, etc. And there are other tweaks that could be made to make it better, and give kids a better chance at not wasting their opportunity to play. >Make recruiting less of a burnout for teams. I can't fucking imagine the stress and lack of time these guys can spend with their own fucking family before NIL, nowadays it's somehow worse. The coaches know what the dates should be to make this happen, let Saban do it. >Never stifle traditions and the pageantry of college football. Even the fights and flag-planting, let it fucking happen. For fuck's sake, probably the funniest thing this season was Beamer getting trolled into oblivion and losing his mind. >Fix the rules and referees. Ban the awful referees, reduce the number you have, increase the use of technology, etc. Fix the bullshit Targeting rule and remove the automatic ejection, remove the two-minute timeout, bring back the clock stopping, actually call holding on a consistent basis, etc. Truly, God bless the fucking Texas fans who threw shit on the field against Georgia, hopefully that's the spark that gets good changes in place for next year.
Idk how nil is works or is distributed but i wonder if it’s possible for these collectives to give bowl incentives and no transfer clause. For ex like a player has to forfeit 30 percent of their nil money if they opt out of bowl games same w transfers
I believe they frankly can do whatever, but if they put those types on incentives then I can imagine it could be off putting to a player. One bowl related incentive I do like, is what Colorado did for their players which was a bowl insurance to cover for them if they get hurt and go to the NFL draft.
Saban was handing out money under the table so he could buy the best talent. Money is now flowing over the table and Alabama lost their competitive edge as a result. Saban wants to go back to where he could out-cheat everyone else.
This video is made with good intentions but a huge wiff imo On players, the issue is the NCAA is running an illegal buisness. None of your solutions would do anything to change that (see actual change in the form of house settlement). With bowl games, I don’t see any upside in this the point of them is to reward players. Negotiate a player insurance policy and these kids will play. And the playoff, it should most definitely be more than 6 and the idea of the G6 getting their own playoff is asinine and asking for an overly complex 3 tier system.
Here is how you fix bowl games forever : you do like up here in Canada. Each conference champions gets into the college Football Playoff. That’s it. Everything is resolved on the field and yes you could have the SEC champion against the MAC champion in the first round. No team should be playing a meaning full game after loosing a conference championship.
Every conference champion does not deserve to compete for the national championship. Let's call a spade a spade. We all just witnessed Boise State get their shit pushed in by a team that lost the Big 10 championship. No one wants to watch Bowling Green play Georgia. No one wants to watch James Madison play Oregon. It's pointless.
@@mathieugagne9102 Because it isn't about meritocracy lol. The purpose of the playoff is to increase the number of games to earn more money. That's why they're about to change the rules to prevent G5 champions from getting byes. The goal is to get SEC and Big 10 schools on national primetime TV as many times as possible. They know that the national champion is going to come from a pool of about 20 schools every year.
My changes would be: - Budget cap of 10 Million dollars (including scholarships and coaches) - All NIL contracts must be signed for 4 years and players have to pay back the money if the player transfers without approval of the agency - 140 teams in 10 team divisions, winner of the division makes it to the playoffs + two wildcard spots (determined by wins and point difference) - 12 game regular season (9 division, 2 opponents based on last year’s performance and one to be scheduled freely) - One streaming service to watch the games. (50 dollars a season to watch our team, 150 to watch all games) - All playoff games are on campus except the Championship game which is held at the Rose Bowl on January 1 (even when it falls on a Sunday) - If you are arrested, you are ruled ineligible for a couple of games on first offence end for a season on second offence. - The teams in Bowl games are drafted by the Bowls themselves in a Selection Show.
>A Salary Cap isn't needed, and including coaches would be absurd. This is just despising greatness in favor of mediocrity. >10 conferences is unnecessary, auto-bids are awful, and a 12 team Playoff is awful. There aren't 20 teams in the nation who have a legit shot at the National Championship, let alone 140. >A 12 game season with Conference Championships and a four round Playoff is way too much for college. >We'd all love the games to only be on one streaming service, it's just never going to happen. >Playoff games on campus are great if we're stupid enough to do 12 teams, but only doing the Natty in the Rose Bowl is hilarious, considering that the sport is centered around the South. At the absolute least, having it alternate between the Rose and Sugar Bowl is infinitely superior, but it should probably rotate the top six or eight Bowls (Pop-Tart Bowl for the National Championship would be glorious). >Broadly saying, "If a player's arrested..." is asinine. There are plenty of false accusations, the police being scumbags, etc. where the kid did nothing wrong and shouldn't be punished. There are also plenty of kids who're scum and shouldn't be allowed to play. Casting a wide net is self-defeating, just legitimately punish those who actually do something wrong. >Having Bowls draft teams is loosely how it already works, but having an event where they're drafted would be some decent entertainment.
@@justinress2782 But scholarships aren't 4 year commitments. They have to be renewed yearly. You'd be creating a scenario where a player's scholarship not being renewed would require them to pay back money on the 4 year contract they signed or they'd be locked into remaining at the school without a scholarship.
these ideas are not in the best interest of the players and gives back too much power to coaches,institutions, and “fans”. Players should be highlighted in college sports because they are the product of
Personally, I don't see how non confrence champions have a claim to a playoff spot. If you can't prove that you're the best team in your geographical region that how can you claim to be the best in the nation?
They need to cut the number teams from division 1. Great players are playing at small schools. Improve the on field play by consolidating the number of programs.
Those players are at those smaller schools because of the limit on scholarships, not because of the number of programs. If you cut the teams, you cut the opportunities for the players. You still end up with those players at the smaller programs because there are still limits on scholarships.
1) Yellow 2) Relegation Division Re-Alignment: 1st, allow schools to play D1 basketball but D2 for all other sports. To qualify for D1 in all sports, a school must have athletic revenue >$28M (adjust for inflation annually). If overall athletic revenue is
Colleges already have sports in different divisions. Also, way more than 96 football programs would fall below that 28M threshold. And we're not even accounting for the fact that most of that "revenue" comes from university assessed fees on students so if said university has a down year in enrollment, they're dropped to DII in this system which would--see lower enrollment and lower university assessed fee collections. Also, what about the programs that are above the threshold but it's not because of football? North Carolina, UConn, Syracuse, Duke, etc. of the world? Your plan doesn't even have space for them which drops them to FCS. At that point, they'd probably voluntarily drop their football programs to DII to not subsidize that when the TV money dries up. Oh, that's another thing! What broadcaster is continuing to pump money into a 50-team FBS? Boom, entire 28M threshold just got blown up. Everyone but Texas (maaybe) and Notre Dame is now DII. Congratulations, in this fictional world, you've killed college football.
I don't like the idea of making bowls at the beginning of the year because
1 It's tradition to have them in December.
2 It gives coaches a gauge of what their roster will look like next season.
3 It means less football between Thanksgiving and the natty.
4 The lower bowl games still mean something to the fans. Winning the orange bowl against Clemson was HUGE for Tennessee. Winning the citrus bowl against Iowa was big, and it gave us confidence in Nico.
1. Tradition no longer matters in college football. I would rather watch a game that mattered at the start of next season, then teams sending 3rd and 4th stringers to play a meaningless game to win a meaningless trophy.
2. With nil and the transfer portal, teams are going to change so much between seasons, that this roster that plays in the bowl game will be nothing close to the roster that starts next season.
3. It might mean less football total, but the games were already meaningless, and it builds more excitement for the cfb playoffs.
4. Any team that has a good amount of players going to the draft are not going to play their best, so while it might give young guys confidence, going into the offseason and getting more preparation for next season will give them just as much
I think everyone is leaving out the players who won’t go to the NFL not getting to play in their final college football game, that they worked to go to. Seems pretty messed up to me
The vols suck and idk how you guys made the playoffs.
Well I do, there was 12 teams. In a 4team playoff world the Vols would never sniff the playoffs. Good job on beating Iowa last year and the confidence you have in your future Arena league qb
Restore the conferences back to 2006
now i want the 30 minute video on why bringing back the bcs coalition because im also for it
Yea we need that ASAP
we need it
For what?
@@lamontrankinjr.280the ranking system was a mathematical formula would probably be less controversial than cfp committee
It’s for SEC fan boys to crank one out to.
“Aw man I miss the good old days where only the SEC could pay players and I could cheer on our rivals and watch them win championships against the 4th or 5th best team in the country and brag about our rivals success like it was my team winning”
13:24 they should implement a G5 playoff irl. My idea is do a 4 team playoff of all the G5 Conference Champions that were left out of the playoff (this would be Ohio, Army, Jacksonville State, and Marshall). I think this has the potential to bring attention to these smaller schools and conferences that desperately need it
Really like this idea . G5 needs to get more love and attention .
get rid of auto seeding. have 5 auto bids: ACC champ, B12 champ, B1G champ, SEC champ, best G5 conf champ. those 5 are all guaranteed home playoff games where rounds 1 and 2 both happen on college campuses. make the natty the first monday in january so we are forcing the committee to wrap the playoffs up and not drag them on. re-seed after every round that way the highest seed always plays the lowest seed, next highest plays next lowest, and so forth. no more 1 month waits. playoffs start 1 week after army-navy and happen every week after that with no extra weeks in between
I like this idea but then the New Years Six Bowls would not be on New Year’s Day. Currently there would have to be 1-2 Saturdays where they don’t play or else players are playing 2 games in a week. I don’t have a problem with moving those Bowl Games but I know that it would affect a lot of people.
I like this idea a lot. Only change I would make would be the playoffs go longer than suggested.
It’s so refreshing to see someone talk about college football online that actually has solid takes and knows what they’re talking about
I think it’d be really cool to have a G5 playoff and a P4/5 playoff. Then you could have the champions open the next year in Week 0 in neutral site. Be able to gauge the gap between the two groups. And turquoise is my favorite.
That actually might be interesting
No
@@daredevil5072 Ay man can’t argue with that
I would put the bowl games in the spring. Putting them at the beginning of the season would create a possibility of a team playing 18 games (bowl plus 12 regular season games plus conference championship plus up to four playoff games).
Very unique ideas here for sure. I appreciate you going outside of the box especially with the bowl games, great video!
Appreciate it! Gotta get crazy in a crazy sport.
My idea on the transfer portal:
A recruited player is attached to a coach. They do it on 247 sports (Recruited by ...). If the head coach or that coach leaves the school, the player can leave without penalty. If the player wants to leave while those coaches are there, they have to sit out for a year.
Bingo ! My take as well
Duck fan here. The first video of yours I seen was on the “GoGo” a month or so ago and on New Years I was at a bar here on Portland watching the game. I walked in and we were down 14-0 already.
When I started watching and trying to decipher what Chip Kelly was doing, it didn’t take long for me to see he had added some “GoGo” formations to his bag. I think he has always valued innovation, playing numbers to his advantage, using tempo and a lot of the same things that are pillars of the gogo so in hindsight, we should have seen it coming.
Neither I, nor the Defensive staff at Oregon saw that coming. If it had not been for your video I would not have known what had just happened to us, but your video helped me through this tough time.
Keep up the good work.
The CFP does need some fixing. I think having twelve teams is unnecessary. Going from a balanced tournament of 4 teams to an unbalanced of 12 was wild. 12 teams in decreases the importance of regular season games.
We are gonna have a national champion that didn’t even win their own conference and that doesn’t feel right, I know it’s happened before but now we are looking at the possibility of two teams in the title game where neither won their conference. I’d be more in favor of an 8 team tournament than I would a 6.
That’s way they seeded the tournament was wild, with ASU and Boise being arguably the two weakest teams getting first round byes. Tennessee and SMU I think were in the playoffs as well, with no shot to win it. Indiana shouldn’t have been there either.
The BCS seemed to love the SEC so much, and would always seem to find a way to have one of the two spots reserved for them. And most years I don’t think we’d get the two best teams in the championship game for one reason or another.
I hope the CFP is already reconsidering future fixes to the current format.
Thank you for the kind words on the 'Go Go' offense.
I think the BCS video will explain how I would approach it, but in THIS specific climate there would have to be fundamental changes to the sport. It is crazy to me that they are already considering the 14 team expansion as if adding more teams is going to make this easier.
Zomp. Also the bowl thing is really interesting, the premier league (soccer in england) do something similar where the team with the best record plays the winner of their tournament at the beginning of the following season for the community shield. It works there, I think it could work in college sports too, but the bowls will need to be heavily marketed so it feels like an important game still
Favorite colors are cardinal and gold
It needs to be like the UEFA Champions League. Every conference should have a coefficient based on results in inter-conference play. It would make out of conference scheduling and bowl games relevant.
I think if you move bowl games to next year, that the cfb playoffs should remain 12 teams, the top 5 conference winners should still get in, but not get the auto bye. I think there are still 12 teams that could win the playoffs some years. This year, teams like smu and Boise didn’t look great, but look at asu. They took Texas to 2 overtime’s, and they would not have gotten in if it was only 6. It also adds to the possibility of a team like ucf from a couple years back getting to prove themselves in the playoffs. If your going to remove bowl games from December, you have to keep a couple weeks of meaningful football
I could not agree more with implementing the 1 year rule. Back when there was no NIL it was kind of stupid to restrict transferring because players weren’t getting paid and if they were it was secretive and for a lot less money. But now that you can go anywhere and get paid huge amounts of money. It’s taking away whole rosters and giving a very slim amount of schools power. Even school that have been dominate in the past like Alabama won’t be able to compete with the kind of money that Texas schools have. I think bringing the rule back would make players stay longer, help them develop with their teams, and would help tampering as well as NIL.
Getting paid directly from schools would lead to the cutting of non revenue generating sports. You get only one free transfer and then every one after that cost half a season
The NCAA has already allowed P4 programs to directly pay players.
Favorite color is Navy!
There needs to be an NIL policy and procedures for each conference. But they need to flexible to still alow for flexibility and growth
My changes would be that NIL is given at the end of the season after bowl games and the playoffs, make the kids earn it and that keeps them from optioning out of a bowl game. #2 change I do like the one year wait for the transfer portal, but I would make it a one and done, you can only get in once, so be sure where you want to go to is really where you want to go to. #3 Coaches, if you leave to go to another team they have to sit a year too and they forfeit their salary if they leave before their contract is up.
I don't like the bowl idea and I like a 12 team playoff. There HAS to be changes to the whole NIL/Transfer Portal problem though. A cap, one free transfer and then you sit out if you transfer again, and a commissioner or group to make sure recruiting and transfer recruiting is fair. I think after a few years teams will be a bit more balanced leading to more competitive games in the 12 team playoff. I think it would be great if conferences went back to 10-12 teams or added divisions. The large conferences with no divisions have been intriguing, but there's a handful of teams I'd like to see play every year and they aren't now.
think the playoff seeding should be reworked, it seems a bit whacky to me that the most preferable seed is 5/6/7 given the lower ranked champs getting top seeds. i agree top 5 champs get in, but i think the seeds 1-4 should be 1) a conference champion ranked 1-6 (top half of playoff), then next best at=large.
this year the matchups is this scenario:
Clemson @ ND (12-5)
ASU @ Ohio St (11-6)
SMU @ Tenn (10-7)
Boise @ IU (9-8)
QF would then be
Boise? Oregon
Tennesee Georgia
Ohio State Texas
ND Penn State
IMO this is a much more rewarding system for the best teams, and i think there are some really good matchups waiting to happen
Put caps on the amount of money each school can pay their players, each player can only transfer once each transfer after that, each player gets a suspension for 4 games, and portal opens after the postseason. Expand playoffs to the top 16 teams in the nation, no byes. The top team in the top 6 conferences get auto bids (so top two seeds likely play G5 teams). Also create a second bracket for the next 16 teams and do away with conference championships.
15 minutes of "let's go back to the good old days"
Well you did just say it was good
I like the idea of 6 teams especially if the G5 gets its own playoff, if not I’d go with 8 teams and have the NY6 games all be playoff games.
So far i think 8 teams is better for the playoffs with The NY6 being the playoff games in a better format than 12 teams with 4 home games right before Christmas. I would keep 4 auto bids for conference champions but the first 4 seeded teams should be treated like the original playoff format where it's the 4 best teams overall. Also no bye-weeks.
So my hypothetical layoff would be
1: Oregon
2: Georgia
3: Texas
4: Notre Dame
5: Clemson
6: Bosie State
7: Arizona State
8: Ohio State/Penn State
Oregon v.s Ohio State would be Rose Bowl
Georgia v.s Arizona State would Cotton Bowl
Texas v.s Boise State is still the Fiesta Bowl
and Notre Dame vs Clemson would be the Sugar Bowl
Either hard reset or let NIL run wild and adopt a English Football League promotion and relegation system.
I don’t agree with a G5 playoff because watching Boise State play Oregon in week 2 (they led for most of the game and lost on a last second field goal) you can’t convince me that Purdue is a team who gets to play for a more prestigious national title. If you can fix what teams move up and what teams move down I’m open to debating that but otherwise it’s a no for me
We all know college football isn't going back, so let's just take it to the "next" level: put players on contracts 1, 2, 3, or 4, years whatever. Players can hire managers/agents to do NIL agreements, but schools are out.
i agree with most of what is said here. I mostly just want bowls back. as a Badger fan they gave me something to look forward to, a goal beyond winning every week. now days it feels like unless we bring down our standards and find some local billionaires that want short term gain over long term recognition (grants and buildings) we will never get a completive top 12 spot so therefore we have nothing to play for.
The BCS was a complete disaster, there a reason why we have playoffs now
The BCS’s issue was limited number of teams. The ranking format was objectively better because it’s not just based on opinion
@williamjasper2734 dont get me wrong, the committee sucks too but if the bcs chosen the teams, they would choose underserving teams like Alabama,Miami,Ole Miss and South Carolina to be in the playoffs(Look to the wikipedia page of the BCS controversies). I like the alternative more, i don't know the bcs would give a chances to teams in weaker conferences (Boise State, Arizona State,SMU and Indiana) to upset teams in bigger conferences. Yes, 3/4 of those david vs goliath games are blow outs but the first round of march madness is like this too and no one complain.
The reason we have playoffs now is more games=more TV revenue. It has nothing to do with the BCS being a "disaster" lol.
Agreed. Some people just have nostalgia for it because Texas vs. USC in 2005. That's it. The Playoff is so much better.
@@caesar-dynastysports yes its true the NCAA is motivated by money but it doesn't mean that the BCS was good. The NCAA know the playoffs system is objectively the best system possible on every aspect (including money) because they tried multiple times to make a playoffs system since the 1960's but at the time the bowl execs and big schools have soo much power so they lobbying against the implementation of a playoff system because they believe it benefits them but in the 1990's it crashed so they created the BCS because they need money, making the donors happy by trying to the bowls alive (until they cannot denied the TV ratings and public pressure). Ironically, the BCS would still be alive if they made a 12 playoffs team before it's too late (keeping a good reputation by preventing the controversies and making the NCAA lost money). The donors/tv contract money is the only reason why bowls are still a thing, im sure so many people watched the duke's mayo bowl...
Everything time NCAA does something is for money and public image
Bud it’s not just Penn State. Ohio State has played like 5 Home Nights in the last 3 years.
We have one of-if not THE-best stadium atmospheres, but the networks forcing their hand for scheduling is ruining it.
Instead of divisions do pods. If there’s 16 teams in a conference do 4 pods of 4. You play everyone in your pod and it rotates every year
I don't think you need to fix anything...the way college football is really at its most pure...anyone...anyyear...has a shot...you got enough money and enough sway...you can get the players(just like before only now everyone can) so lets rumble baby
Limit teams to 10 incoming transfers a year. Portal opens in June for non graduates. NIL total cap per team. Keep it above board. Anyone caught breaking the rules is out. Make the CFP 16 teams starting in early Dec and the natty game on January 1. Bowl games should be preseason deals that factor into playoff selection. Use the BCS to seed the playoffs.
LMAO. That is professional football has to be collectively bargained.
What about one year rule on second transfer
Best proposal I've seen so far
@@sportspodcasts4616 People just be spouting shi and dont think about what can and cant be done. Do they think if the NCAA or someone could make those changes they wouldn't have done it already?...there's more nuance to this situation than they realize.
The portal can't open in June. It opens when it opens because of academic calendars. These are still college students no matter how much it's de-emphasized. If you open the portal in June, almost no university allows admissions for fall at that point. All of those players would be ineligible to play which is effectively returning to the one-year sit out rule which courts struck down.
Had me in the first half, but this just sounds like NFL jr. And more ways to prop up power 4/5 schools.
NFL Jr. is the path we are going to so this is my compromise to try to hold traditional values of CFB
My favorite color is blue
Playoff was a terrible Idea
How so?
I like a lot of the ideas but the one year rule coming back and the bus coming back. There needs to be a cap on how many times u can transfer like 2 times in a 4 year span. I would personally like to see 8 team playoff with the teams being reseeded. Great video tho
Thank you! The transfer portal imo is the one that is least regulated and needs the most changes/adjustments.
NIL fix: either do rev share or not, however, schools/collectives cannot talk about money until the player has officially signed with a team. Removes the tampering and allows players to make the best decision for them.
No AP polls until week 6, and all polls must be ranked without team names/logos. Pure based on results. This removes any strength of schedule bias or conference bias.
1 free transfer and 1 coaching change transfer. Every other transfer must sit out a year.
Uniform scheduling, 9 conference games + 1 P5 non-con H&H game. Removes any scheduling disparity
Referees answer for calls after games like the NBA 2 minute
Also, the current CFP format is fine, the only thing I’d bring back from the BCS is adding the computer & coaches polls in to determine seeding. Having to rely on a small group of people and trust that biases don’t get in the way, is clearly not working
At first glance, you wouldn't be able to enforce the sit out rule for transfers do to the DOJ ruling.
No, the money needs to be talked about up front. Where is the money coming from? For example, Michigans money for the University is not made from just sports.
6 TEAM PLAYOFF YES
YESSS
Easy, make conferences regional, and each champ gets an auto bid.
Top 25 shootout. If you’re ranked you in. No voting or nothing
@@dre39TV how does the Top 25 get decided? Answer quickly.
I don't love the idea of the 1-year rule because coaches still can bail on kids they recruited without scrutiny. Now guys that transferred in are burning a calendar year of their eligibility because they're coach left for a better opportunity
I disagree with moving the bowl games, yes players lately have been sitting out bowel games but there are also plenty of team where players don’t I.e. Oregon when they played Wisconsin in the Rose bowl. Justin Herbert who’s an elite NFL quarterback play not only the rose bowl but also the senior game.
Favourite colour is blue
Divide the nation into 4 geographical conferences of 36 teams, 4 divisions with 9 teams for each conference, bottom 2 teams get relegated to the lower division, top 2 get promoted, at the top division, the first place team goes to a 4 team playoff
Favorite color is green, also when that bcs video coming out? That would be awesome to hear about.
Before watching the video, I think that they need to make it to where you have to sit out one year after you transfer so after you transfer, you have to sit out a year before you can play
Edit just watch the video and I did not know that that was actually already a thing in college football
Piggy backing off your group of 5 playoff idea. Go back to a 4 team playoff but for power 4 and group of 5 separately. The winner of each bracket play each other to determine the national champion
I like the idea of the separation of the two, but my most aggressive change to CFB I would have is a demotion like system we see in soccer where you can be demoted to the G5 or promoted to the P4.
@RushTheFieldShow i would be down for that too. But American sports don't seem to like that.
Notice how the majority of bowl games are in the sun belt? That's because they are in December/January so they are vacation destinations, especially for upper midwest fanbases. If you put them in August, that kind of defeats the point. Las Vegas in December is much more attractive than Las Vegas in August.
Yes but New York and Chicago are much better in August than December. The northern half of the US has vacation destinations, but no one visits them in winter. This format would spread them out
Love everything except the bowl game concept. Really don’t like that.
Bro doesn’t know about the house settlement 😂😂😂
You won’t go back to the one year sit out rules.
Green
In general, I hate the subjectivity of college football. Even with “ strength of schedule/power computer ranking” you still have the human element programming it and it’s someone’s opinion. There will always be teams that have to play their way out the playoffs(UGA, Alabama , Ohio St., Notre Dame etc) and then those others that have no margin for error and have to play their way in .
Problem being with 133 teams there is always going to be such a wide range of schedule and strength in it. Unlike the NFL, compared to CFB; the 1st NFL team isnt a WIDE gap to the 32nd team. But in CFB its an WIDEEEE gap between 1 and 133. And if you cut it down you go towards the super league path (NFL jr.)
My favorite color is purple
Every SEC coach makes $10 Million per year. I don’t want to hear anything about NIL.
Crimson, because Roll Tide.
A lot of people are hard on the NCAA for doing nothing but the issue is that every time they try to do something their is a lawsuit and they lose and the NCAA continually losses power every time they try to act. Has the NCAA ever won a lawsuit?
orange (burnt)
gig em, but respect the specific call out
Have a conference schedule of teams that went .500 the last year
That one year rule is the worst thing ever come to football 🏈! That should stay away from CFP forever
Moving the bowl games to the beginning of the season is quite possibly the worst idea I've ever heard in my life. NFL teams use bowl games as additional scouting opportunities and you've moved them after the draft. College teams use them as scouting opportunities and you've moved them to after national signing day. Contrary to popular belief, programs exist outside of the 20 that compete to play in the playoffs and you've just removed the incentive for those teams to field competitive teams. Bowling Green has an awesome season. Too bad, your seniors get nothing to cap that off. East Carolina and North Carolina State don't start brawling after their bowl game this year if it was meaningless.
Blue
I’m an OU fan. I wish we could all just go back to regional conferences and BCS polling
i am too, we lost a lot so maybe not
@@mr.football984 at least we won one lol
@@sportsreimagined and lost like 4 others
@@mr.football984 yep
1. I disagree with the Bowl Games as Week 1. It's tradition to have them in December/January. It celebrates the end of the season and even though NFL-caliber players mostly opt out, it allows fans to get a look at how their team will look next season and gives a team momentum into the offseason.
2. I disagree with the 6-team playoff. Indiana, Arizona State, Boise State, and SMU's school pride skyrocketed by getting a playoff invite. It's absolutely amazing for the sport and for schools that normally wouldn't get an opportunity on the national spotlight to prove themselves. Plus, those schools put up a great fight despite being out-spent and out-talented. With a 6-team playoff, only the blue chip schools would get a bid. Let's spread the wealth.
3. I disagree with bringing back all divisions. Bringing back divisions would just essentially re-create dead conferences, Big Ten West would just become a glorified PAC-12, an ACC West would just become a glorified Big East, an SEC West would just become a Big XII 2.0. We'd get no big and wild conference matchups in the regular season like Texas vs. Alabama or Ohio State vs. Oregon. I think College Football is better with the PAC-12 being effectively dead (or at least not being a power conference anymore), I know some people disagree because of nostalgia, but this past season of College Football was one of the greatest in recent memory. 4 power conferences is perfect. Sure, we lose out a bit on some regional rivalries, but a shake up needed to happen. I'm all for protecting historic rivalries, but we don't need to protect every single regional matchup. Regional conferences just protect blue chip schools from actually having tough competition. Texas and OU were getting auto-Ws by being in a small regional conference against teams like Iowa State, Kansas, and Kansas State. Same with Ohio State and Michigan in the Big Ten. Pit the blue chip schools against each other! With that being said, the ACC needs to change its damn name if they are seriously going to have Cal and Stanford in their conference.
4. I disagree with the 1-year rule. The transfer portal is a key component to the player power dynamic. It prevents coaches from "recruit-hoarding" which was a serious problem before NIL and the portal. I agree that there should be some sort of limit on transferring though. Maybe a player is only allowed to transfer 3 times to D1 schools (they get a 4th transfer if they are coming from a JUCO or D2 team).
5. I agree that College Football needs a commissioner. It's clear that College Football is a multi-billion-dollar business now, it needs to be treated as such, with clear rules and regulations.
To be honest with the TV deal that the Big Ten has, if they add two more to make it 20 I could see them along with CBS, FOX, and NBC buying the whole Rose Bowl and doing there own thing and break away from the joke that is the bowl games.
The reason of the transfer portal is because making it so players transferring schools and not being able to play was deemed illegal by the courts.
If any student can transfer schools and take classes without the input of their previous school, then it’s illegal for it to apply differently to student athletes attempting to play.
The only solution like you said is to make players employees. With employees you could enforce limited transfers and tampering. Issue with that is that then eligibility window will no longer exist.
Let me explain. If you make the players employees, then let’s say a 26 year old player who is out of eligibility wants to continue playing. They NCAA will say they can not keep them as an employee because they are too old and out of eligibility. Only issue with that is Age is a protected class when it comes to employment. So the player will sue the NCAA and their “employer” for discrimination related to race. The courts will rule that you can not deny due to age, and eligibility will have to coincide with all of the other university employees which effectively have none related to age.
I am not against 26-28 year old players even if they take up rosters slots that could be going to younger players. Ultimately it’ll come down to the coaches to determine whether it’s better to develop new talent or to keep an established player.
The six team Playoff was the nail in the coffin, king shit.
>Saban as commissioner, give him borderline dictatorial powers to fix the messes. He knows how to hire and delineate work to those who know more than him, he'd be great.
>I'm not against the radical change with Bowls being at the beginning of the year, but people will then talk about there being literally nothing at the end of the regular season, except for the Conference Championships and Playoffs. Meaning that we're only talking about a dozen teams or so, the rest are left out to dry. I just think because of that, Bowls have to stay at the end of the season. Do more insurance policies, tie participation to NIL money, do whatever.
>Six teams in the Playoffs was the obvious choice if you cared about the sport. No auto-bids, just the six best teams, and the top two get byes. First round can be a rotation of the Peach, Citrus, Cotton, and Orange Bowl, second round should *always* be the Sugar and Rose Bowls. And never give participation trophies to inferior teams because people have pity for them, like middle school girls with a stray cat. It's pathetic nonsense, and why we constantly have massive blowouts in the Playoffs over the last decade.
>I don't mind the idea of leaving NIL alone and letting it sort itself out. Although, if we're going to have Saban as a commissioner, he wouldn't let that happen, nor should he. I don't even necessarily think a Salary Cap or anything of the sort is necessary though, because of the idea of the Transfer Portal requiring you to sit a year.
>Forcing players to sit a year if they transfer sounds bad at first, but quickly becomes great once you realize the implications and slight tweaks you can make to ensure it's good for all. If a kid is at their school for two years and never (or barely) starts, I think allowing them to transfer without waiting is perfect. This fixes high school recruiting, it fixes tampering, it fixes maintaining your rosters, it gives kids who're honestly wasting their time a chance to leave, etc. And there are other tweaks that could be made to make it better, and give kids a better chance at not wasting their opportunity to play.
>Make recruiting less of a burnout for teams. I can't fucking imagine the stress and lack of time these guys can spend with their own fucking family before NIL, nowadays it's somehow worse. The coaches know what the dates should be to make this happen, let Saban do it.
>Never stifle traditions and the pageantry of college football. Even the fights and flag-planting, let it fucking happen. For fuck's sake, probably the funniest thing this season was Beamer getting trolled into oblivion and losing his mind.
>Fix the rules and referees. Ban the awful referees, reduce the number you have, increase the use of technology, etc. Fix the bullshit Targeting rule and remove the automatic ejection, remove the two-minute timeout, bring back the clock stopping, actually call holding on a consistent basis, etc. Truly, God bless the fucking Texas fans who threw shit on the field against Georgia, hopefully that's the spark that gets good changes in place for next year.
Money has ruined College Football. Absolutely ruined it! NIL, transfer portal, opt outs etc.
Let’s just call it the MFL, Minor Football League.
Idk how nil is works or is distributed but i wonder if it’s possible for these collectives to give bowl incentives and no transfer clause. For ex like a player has to forfeit 30 percent of their nil money if they opt out of bowl games same w transfers
I believe they frankly can do whatever, but if they put those types on incentives then I can imagine it could be off putting to a player. One bowl related incentive I do like, is what Colorado did for their players which was a bowl insurance to cover for them if they get hurt and go to the NFL draft.

Saban was handing out money under the table so he could buy the best talent. Money is now flowing over the table and Alabama lost their competitive edge as a result. Saban wants to go back to where he could out-cheat everyone else.
This video is made with good intentions but a huge wiff imo
On players, the issue is the NCAA is running an illegal buisness. None of your solutions would do anything to change that (see actual change in the form of house settlement).
With bowl games, I don’t see any upside in this the point of them is to reward players. Negotiate a player insurance policy and these kids will play.
And the playoff, it should most definitely be more than 6 and the idea of the G6 getting their own playoff is asinine and asking for an overly complex 3 tier system.

Interesting stuff
Here is how you fix bowl games forever : you do like up here in Canada. Each conference champions gets into the college Football Playoff. That’s it. Everything is resolved on the field and yes you could have the SEC champion against the MAC champion in the first round. No team should be playing a meaning full game after loosing a conference championship.
Good too see CFB fans in Canada 😁
Every conference champion does not deserve to compete for the national championship. Let's call a spade a spade. We all just witnessed Boise State get their shit pushed in by a team that lost the Big 10 championship. No one wants to watch Bowling Green play Georgia. No one wants to watch James Madison play Oregon. It's pointless.
@ from out point of view: it’s pointless to have a comity decide who gets in. It just makes the season so pointless.
@@mathieugagne9102 Because it isn't about meritocracy lol. The purpose of the playoff is to increase the number of games to earn more money. That's why they're about to change the rules to prevent G5 champions from getting byes. The goal is to get SEC and Big 10 schools on national primetime TV as many times as possible. They know that the national champion is going to come from a pool of about 20 schools every year.

Sooo, we’re basically making bowl games the equivalent of NFL preseason. Got it
Not at all, the games matter towards record and the playoffs
My changes would be:
- Budget cap of 10 Million dollars (including scholarships and coaches)
- All NIL contracts must be signed for 4 years and players have to pay back the money if the player transfers without approval of the agency
- 140 teams in 10 team divisions, winner of the division makes it to the playoffs + two wildcard spots (determined by wins and point difference)
- 12 game regular season (9 division, 2 opponents based on last year’s performance and one to be scheduled freely)
- One streaming service to watch the games. (50 dollars a season to watch our team, 150 to watch all games)
- All playoff games are on campus except the Championship game which is held at the Rose Bowl on January 1 (even when it falls on a Sunday)
- If you are arrested, you are ruled ineligible for a couple of games on first offence end for a season on second offence.
- The teams in Bowl games are drafted by the Bowls themselves in a Selection Show.
>A Salary Cap isn't needed, and including coaches would be absurd. This is just despising greatness in favor of mediocrity.
>10 conferences is unnecessary, auto-bids are awful, and a 12 team Playoff is awful. There aren't 20 teams in the nation who have a legit shot at the National Championship, let alone 140.
>A 12 game season with Conference Championships and a four round Playoff is way too much for college.
>We'd all love the games to only be on one streaming service, it's just never going to happen.
>Playoff games on campus are great if we're stupid enough to do 12 teams, but only doing the Natty in the Rose Bowl is hilarious, considering that the sport is centered around the South. At the absolute least, having it alternate between the Rose and Sugar Bowl is infinitely superior, but it should probably rotate the top six or eight Bowls (Pop-Tart Bowl for the National Championship would be glorious).
>Broadly saying, "If a player's arrested..." is asinine. There are plenty of false accusations, the police being scumbags, etc. where the kid did nothing wrong and shouldn't be punished. There are also plenty of kids who're scum and shouldn't be allowed to play. Casting a wide net is self-defeating, just legitimately punish those who actually do something wrong.
>Having Bowls draft teams is loosely how it already works, but having an event where they're drafted would be some decent entertainment.
@@justinress2782 🤣 🤣
Scholarships aren't 4 years. Why would NIL contracts be?
@ Because you should be able to transfer if you graduate.
@@justinress2782 But scholarships aren't 4 year commitments. They have to be renewed yearly. You'd be creating a scenario where a player's scholarship not being renewed would require them to pay back money on the 4 year contract they signed or they'd be locked into remaining at the school without a scholarship.
these ideas are not in the best interest of the players and gives back too much power to coaches,institutions, and “fans”. Players should be highlighted in college sports because they are the product of
Personally, I don't see how non confrence champions have a claim to a playoff spot. If you can't prove that you're the best team in your geographical region that how can you claim to be the best in the nation?
Geographic regions and conferences aren’t synonymous anymore
@@nickmaille Just for the next few years before rating plummet due to how uninteresting the matchups become
I couldn’t disagree more with these points lmao. Bring back the BCS? Everyone hated that.
I'd bring CFB back to 2007 if I could
@ Nah. Maybe the vibes of that era, but not the structure.
Ugh. A few of your ideas were okay. But most weren't. lol.
Appreciate giving the video a shot
@@RushTheFieldShow You're welcome. Sorry we couldn't agree on everything.

8 team playoff, signing day and transfer portal day comes after the natty. And you can only transfer twice max
They need to cut the number teams from division 1. Great players are playing at small schools. Improve the on field play by consolidating the number of programs.
Those players are at those smaller schools because of the limit on scholarships, not because of the number of programs. If you cut the teams, you cut the opportunities for the players. You still end up with those players at the smaller programs because there are still limits on scholarships.
1) Yellow
2) Relegation Division Re-Alignment: 1st, allow schools to play D1 basketball but D2 for all other sports. To qualify for D1 in all sports, a school must have athletic revenue >$28M (adjust for inflation annually). If overall athletic revenue is
Colleges already have sports in different divisions. Also, way more than 96 football programs would fall below that 28M threshold. And we're not even accounting for the fact that most of that "revenue" comes from university assessed fees on students so if said university has a down year in enrollment, they're dropped to DII in this system which would--see lower enrollment and lower university assessed fee collections. Also, what about the programs that are above the threshold but it's not because of football? North Carolina, UConn, Syracuse, Duke, etc. of the world? Your plan doesn't even have space for them which drops them to FCS. At that point, they'd probably voluntarily drop their football programs to DII to not subsidize that when the TV money dries up. Oh, that's another thing! What broadcaster is continuing to pump money into a 50-team FBS? Boom, entire 28M threshold just got blown up. Everyone but Texas (maaybe) and Notre Dame is now DII. Congratulations, in this fictional world, you've killed college football.
