LSU gets the lamest possible bowl matchup, UCF with no McKenzie Milton.

Your playing for a National champ. Don’t let me down.

I hope LSU shits the bed. Just so there can be a real conversation about expanding the playoff picture. No B1G representative for the 3rd year in a row. Not sure on PAC12.

So what you're saying is without expansion there's no way the B1G can get in? :)

If CFP went to 8 people still bitch and want 12. It ain’t perfect but at least it’s not decided by a CPU. College football is such a different animal it’s never gonna be perfect.

yeah but you'd know whatd be better than 40 useless bowls? playoffs.

If there was 8 teams, every conference could get a team, plus best group of 5 team and 2 wildcards...

Alabama vs Washington
Clemson vs UCF
Notre Dame vs Ohio St
Oklahoma vs Georgia

I would watch the hell of those.

Still would have 40 useless bowls. Bowls are not going away even with 8 teams.

That's what we have now.


Going to 8 as you suggested will just shift the argument to which 2 wildcards get in. It doesn't actually stop any of the issues we have now.


But yes, I'd watch the hell out of that as well.

You are never gonna have equality in CFB. I would not put UCF in over Washington and that’s what would have happened this year. PAC 12 champ left out over a AAC champ. Still will be bitching because of scheduling, conf, etc.

im not talking about fixing anything. bowl games are just useless to me. If it isn't the playoff, I don't care. Playoff just gets me more games I want to actually watch.

To me you if expand the playoff you are going to see elimination of conf champ games and any OOC games of substance during regular season. No Thanks.

If you go to 8 teams, I still think you take the top 8 teams, no auto bids for winning a conference as that ignores 2/3rds of the season's out of conference games.

Also, I doubt they would, but if you got 8 and you keep the 1st round games at the top 4 seeds' stadiums, that would put an emphasis on playing for seeding and likely reduce some of that likely elimination of tough OOC matchups.

what they need to do is standardize scheduling. 9 game conference schedules. 1 FCS max, 1 Group of 5, 1 Power 5 minimum.

So the alternative is half the teams play for practically no reason other than conference bragging rights?

8 has its issues like everything but at least at that point you “shouldn’t “ ever have an issue where an undefeated team is left out. The whole “4 best” or “8 best” subjective stuff is such a slap in the face to playing games. Why bother having a 4 team playoff? We all know Bama is the #1 team let’s just crown them.

Looks like we value different factors in allowing teams in a playoff. When someone smarter than me finds a way to create all conf and schedules equal then I’ll value record over all else.
