Playoff expansion

[Mavsker]

In light of Pete Thamel's article on the CFB playoff likely expanding to 12 teams, what are your thoughts on playoff expansion?

I am rarely "in the know", but I heard from someone who claims to have had a discussion with a major P5 coach who believes the expansion to 12 teams will be announced next week. Regardless it seems that expansion is likely on the horizon.

So: you're the college football czar. How many teams are getting in?

Edit: apparently this was discussed yesterday and I don't know how to delete. Please vote KYS.

I am for anything that makes it even the slightest bit easier for the Husker s to be somewhat relevant.
Having said that, I voted KYS

I think it all irrelevant until everyone is playing by the same rules. 9 game conference schedule, 3 OOC, no neutral site games.

I feel like 8 is perfect.

Neutral site games should be banned either way because they absolutely suck

Yup, gives the teams in the 5-6 range a chance and also opens up a spot for a G5 team while keeping the regular seasons integrity IMO

I can't think of a time where I was like, "man, that #11 ranked team probably could have won it all", that's all.

32 or 64

12-14 team playoffs are magnificent in the NFL when there is real parity between teams that make it in.

12-14 team playoffs in college would make the regular season more worthless and force the likely national champion to play 2 unnecessary games.

Based on the proposal, last years playoff would look like this:

BYE
1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Ohio State
4. Cincinnati


5. Clemson
6. Texas A&M
7. Florida
8. BYU
9. Indiana
10. Wisconsin
11. Oregon
12. Marshall


Marshall @ Clemson / vs Cincinnati

Oregon @ Texas A&M / vs Ohio State

Wisconsin @ Florida / vs Notre Dame

Indiana @ BYU / vs Alabama

Lol at conference champions being so important that they should get the top 4 seeds, but after that fuck em

every once in a while you might get an upset

 

[Kaladin]

imagine if nebraska was good again in 2023 and we got one of those at large bids or won the conference and we were able to hold a playoff game at Memorial Stadium. that shit would off the hook

 

[Kaladin]

Imagine if Nebraska was holding a home playoff game in 2023 and MIAMI came to town

I like 8, but I like the idea of the 5 conference champs and 3 at large bids.

 

[Kaladin]

notre dame might have to join the acc whether they like it or not

 

[HuskerGarrett]

7+Nebraska every year sounds like a good compromise

 

[Jim14510]

I like 8, but I like the idea of the 5 conference champs and 3 at large bids.

Agreed

I was looking at the wrong ranking, here is the correct 2020 scenario:
2020

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Oklahoma

5. Notre Dame
6. Texas A&M
7. Florida
8. Cincinnati
9. Georgia
10. Cockeye State
11. Indiana
12. Coastal Carolina


Coastal Carolina @ Notre Dame

Indiana @ Texas A&M

Cockeye State @ Florida

Georgia @ Cincinnati
