3. No non-P4 teams. Sorry, you play a high school schedule, you can't play for a P4 championship.
4. Use BCS formula to pick and seed the top 8.

Horrible no call on pass interference by Penn St WR
Boise is still a lot better than SMU or Indiana and ASU is too. 12 teams is too many and going to 8 would be best
They dont care if the games are competitive or not. They have extra games on TV making money and creating value.
The playoff will only expand from here- not contract. This is about TV money games making bank. 16 teams is probably the next move
The first round views was disappointingQuote:

Isn't it better to know that than have to wonder?Quote:

But it also gives us a chance. An MSU, Arkansas, Baylor, NC State type program can have one of those once every 10-15 year seasons where we could go 10-2 and get into the playoffs and hang that banner that can help you recruit for a decade.Quote:

16 teams seeded 1-16
1st round- 8 games (Reliaquest, Citrus, Texas, Gator, Outback, Las Vegas, Alamo)
2nd round- 4 games (Peach, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta)
3rd round- 2 games (Rose and Sugar)
4th round- CFP championship
If the priority is money and getting the most eyeballs on the product this is the answer.
Horrible idea. It's GOOD that homefield advantage exists so that teams who had the better regular season have an easier road to the championship. It should be higher seed hosting in every round except for the championship. No more bowls in a perfect world.Quote:

Hats off to ASU for one hell of a recovery from early in the game. If they had taken points through the game, they'd be on their way to the lead hereQuote:

Teams can win on the road. It didn't happen this year, but with a slightly different bracket it easily could have. We'll see it some years, and in others it will be only home teams winning. I'm OK with that.Quote:

March Madness should be the blueprintQuote:

And just like that... no change should happen to this format outside of expansion and giving every conference winner a guaranteed ticket. 24 teams is the right volume for 130 imo. And no one can ever complain again that they were unfairly excluded. Idc if it means a few more dud games. You might get a game like this. More football is fun. This is why you play the games.
Shunning 2 fgs and getting one blocked.Quote:

Texas is gonna win, but good game
ASU is looking to be the main team in the big 12 for a long time. They found a great coach who is at his dream job and from Arizona. They will have a good team for awhile
I think the punt return putting TX up 14-3 so quickly made Dillingham think he had to chase points when he really didn't need to.Quote:

I bet this game is a blowout if played in Austin
that check cleared.
