Developing Story: The College Football Playoff is CHANGING!

[@Makise3]

I can’t wait to see the 12 team playoff season next year. Should be a lot of fun to watch.

[@TrashPvnda_]

I think the 12 team playoff is great for college football, it really just doesnt seem fair that you can have 1 to 2 losses and your season is over.

[@jevonarnold7331]

It says a lot when most teams in the top 4 are undefeated

[@sococomfort22s34]

Well hopefully the new playoff format will give the fans better non conference games. Michigan playing East Carolina Bowling Green and UNLV is a joke for out of conference games. Teams are scared to lose one game so they don’t schedule decent opponents.

[@Chefpierce_]

@@sococomfort22s34yeah and every team in every conf is prideful so they believe the conf schedule makes up for playing such weak non conf teams lol

[@LuisVaal]

It isn’t fair

[@randstokes5048]

I disagree the only Reason Michigan Vs Ohio St has been fun to watch the past 2 years is playoff implications it’ll still be good for like Die Hard College fans cause they’ll watch anything but it won’t feel same when literally the only Stakes in the game are who gets home field because both teams will make the playoff anyway take Alabama for example normally this would be a down year for them but in a 12 team playoff they’d make it anyway I think ppl assume that the Cinderella Team will be like Tulane or Some group of five but what’s more likely to happen is Alabama Or GA get upset in a game an then run the table as a 12 seed it’s not gonna be more parad

[@mikegroves4450]

Johnson not only was the starter at A&M but he was also the starter at LSU before coming to A&M. They have not lost anything due to a 2nd string QB playing..

I feel like it’s the perfect time for the 12 field playoff to start. The transfer portal has evened the playing field (at least among like the top 10 schools). Even 2 years ago a 12 team playoff would’ve been pointless because there was only like 3 teams who could win it.

[@bigboy6593]

Facts it’s not just one team dominating like the last 20 years😭

[@Alex-eo7my]

Takes like this are what drive me crazy. I am not and never will be a fan of the 12 team playoff. It is entirely too many. Just because it works for the NFL or NBA or whatever, it doesn't work for college football. But whatever, that is old news. The part that bothers me is hearing people who claim to be college football fans saying that games like the Utah v Oregon game didn't matter because it had no playoff implications...have we forgotten that college football was not made to be a post season game? Just because it doesn't have playoff implications doesn't make it not important. College football is special in that way. Bowl games and late season games still matter to true fans because it isn't always about the playoffs. So what Utah and Oregon didn't make the playoffs? It is still a hell of a game to watch, and I bet if you ask those players or those fans if that game matters, they would 10000% tell you it does. And as a fan of the sport as a whole, it means a lot to me.

[@GrizrazRex]

The CFP will drop down to 8, and exclude the G5. Just make the P4 conference title games the first round; DONE.
Everything is pointing towards the eventuality of an entity that might be named MCF. Major College Football will be a football-only breakaway organization involving the top national brands. CFB will stratify further, and the G5 will have their own natty.

[@thegamecock22]

Do I agree with a 12 team playoff? No, it will probably be 8 blowouts, 3 close games, and 1 upset. But, will I watch it? Absolutely.

IF I was a recruit I'd seriously start considering Notre Dame, no conference playoff, guaranteed 12 spot, plus they could sit starters half the season with that schedule. They must be partying in South Bend tonight.

[@kevinbond8966]

How r they guaranteed a playoff spot?

[@MichaelSmith-xb5cp]

As an independent program in a 12 spot qualifier, they would only need a Top15 ranking to guarantee a reserved spot, due to redundancy in the P5/P4....
They would be in with 2 losses provided they were to ranked teams and the losses were close, within one score. Due to the way ND schedules its rare for them to have a 3 loss season as long as they have a healthy starting QB.

[@kevinbond8966]

Although Dugan was originally the backup for TCU last year and he ended up being way better then the original starter.

Go to 16 team playoff that has worked perfectly for years. Even if you took every conference champion you’d still have 6 at large bids. You could even go with the top 8 conference champions and have 8 at large spots

[@ItsdemontimeDarius]

I’m glad the cfp is expanding to 12 teams. With the rules it makes everything interesting in my opinion. I don’t think people look into the rules they have for it as much. Like instead of naming specific conferences that get in they said the 5 Best conferences champs. We know more than likely it probably will be the ACC,SEC,B1G10, and Big12 champs. But that 5th conference spot is going to be so interesting. And there will be more teams playing in the cfp race in the end

[@condeez1052]

I like this it’s different. And it gives other teams a chance other than Georgia, Texas,bama,Michigan,usc,and Ohio state

Texas has not made it to playoffs in forever

[@deerhunter7420]

Like TCU played in it last year clemson has played in it in last 5 years lsu in 2019 and Texas hasn’t been good in forever. So other teams gave a chance and texas is an example of this.

[@dragonsurge1]

You just going to sneak Texas and USC in there even tho they’ve never made the playoffs? 💀💀

[@ponagesports5447]

The auto bids are dumb. If the conference played good then their conference winner would be in the top 12 anyway.

[@brittonprice637]

There's only one reason for it, more money. There's only been 5 games since we've had semifinal games that weren't blow outs and how many times have you thought to yourself "man that 2 to 3 loss number 5-12 team should have won the championship."? I personally think 4 teams is too much given the results.

[@G_Six]

What if the top 12 ranked teams make the 12 team playoffs? Doesn’t NASCAR do something like that for their playoffs? Or would it be better to have conference championship winners get a automatic spot, Then fill out the rest with the next highly ranked teams?

[@lewtown]

I think the conference champs should have an automatic spot. Then the runner ups (depending on ranking and record) and fill the rest with best next teams/most deserving teams

[@woodrainmudd7684]

In my world of ncaa 14 the BCS is going strong. First season I can remember watching was 92. As a Bama fan and being a kid I thought Bama was always supposed to win. I think I cried when LSU broke our winning streak.

[@randstokes5048]

I’m not in favor of it 4 team playoff is way better for multiple reasons but the main reason is Games Like Ohio State Michigan And GA vs Tennessee last year or Auburn Vs GA Sec Championship in 2017 were huge games is because they had Major Playoff implications by expanding the playoff those games are basically meaningless because both Teams make the playoff either way and I know Maybe They have Home Field advantage to play for but st the end of the day they won’t get the same viewing numbers and not nearly as many people will care about watching a game where both teams will make the playoff anyway

[@randstokes5048]

Also the Good Teams will be Elite Anyway look at what GA did to TCU last year I get it Upsets happen but talent disparity is way bigger in college football than it is in say College basketball and the likelihood of a 12 seed winning the Championship Would Be virtually 0% chance simply because they may have the talent to upset a team of two but to make a playoff run that deep you need more than jus one or 2 lucky games

Divide the country into 4 sections and have 4 super conferences, top 3 teams in each conferences moves onto the playoff, or remove confences all together. Also can we stop humans from choosing the top 25 and come up with some algorithm based off win/loss, points, strength of schedule, and other factors to figure out the top 25?

[@jeffperry7971]

Ok, just to make sense of the math in this deal. 7 at large should be your 7 best teams not getting an auto bid. So do we really believe that 3 of the 5 auto bids won’t be in the top 10? Me either. So 97% of the time, we will have the top 10 teams in the 12 team playoff. Sounds good to me.

[@brendenstyre4784]

My opinion should have just made it an 8 team playoff. dumbs it down I don’t like auto bids and bye weeks for playoffs. at the end of the season I’m confident we would know the best team in college football out of the top 8 ranked teams. Not looking forward to seeing teams get blown out every year in the playoffs

[@amazingspiderfatty7375]

Why don't they just do the smart thing and make each playoff slot a battle for their respective Conference and dissolve 3 of the smallest Conferences into 12 Conferences and make each team battle strictly within their own Conference so we can really see who is the better team in each Conference. Right now, Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State have laughable schedules and play each other to make their schedule less of a 'joke', but if each of the three teams only lose once to each other then they still take precedent over other Conferences that have harder schedules and harder Conferences like the SEC. It is no coincidence that Michigan and Ohio State and Penn State make it in this new format 9 times out of 10 because of bias in pre-season rankings. This new 12 game format is just another way to knee cap SEC teams so they can 'diversify' or artificially inflate other Conferences' egos.

[@GoBuckeyes216]

There has to be something we can do to save the pac 12

[@ghostwalker89]

Group of 5 shouldn't have an autobid. It's ridiculous pick the actual best teams. Nobody wants to see Cincinnati vs Alabama again.

[@OSU2010]

My thing is if the best 4 teams are 2 SEC and 2 Big 10 they should get the Auto bids and be ranked and not have to play an extra game. Just rank the teams where they are. No PAC 12 or ACC with 2 losses should get a auto big over a Big 10 or SEC with 1 loss

[@Fuh-Q247]

TCU wasn't even the winner of the Big12 last year, Kansas State was. The only reason TCU got a far as they did last year was from taking out the starting QBs of several of their opposing teams. They hurt Oklahoma's QB so bad that he had to miss the game against Texas. OU ended up having to play with their third string QB for the Texas game due to a separate issue on game day. That's the reason the score was 49-0 for the Red River Shootout.
