Big Ten wants the CFP expanded to 24-28 teams

If you like college football then the 24 team tournament is better than the 12 team playoff. It's like getting a bunch of great noncon games after the season where the teams are actually proven to be good, not a preseason guess. It also does away with the stupid conference championship games. Last year would have looked something like this if the games went to the home teams:
Top 6 BIG teams: Oregon, TOSU, Pedo, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa (Iowa bumped out a couple teams ranked ahead of them strictly because of being in the B10)
Top 6 SEC teams: Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas
Top 4 ACC teams: Clemson, SMU, Syracuse, Miami
Top 4 Big 12 Teams: ASU, BYU, Colorado, Iowa State
2 G5 Teams: Boise state, Army
2 At large: Notre Dame, Missouri
Round 1
#24-Iowa 8-4 at #9-Boise state 12-1
#23-Colorado 9-3 at #10 SMU 11-2
#22-Army 11-1 at #11 Alabama 9-3
#21 Syracuse 9-3 at #12 Arizona State 11-2
#20 Illinois 9-3 at #13 Miami Fl 10-2
#19 Missouri 9-3 at #14 Mississippi 9-3
#18 Iowa State 10-3 at #15 South Carolina 9-3
#17 BYU 10-2 at #16 Clemson 10-3
Round 2
Clemson 11-3 at Oregon 13-0
South Carolina 10-3 at Georgia 11-2
Mississippi 10-3 at Texas 11-2
Miami fl 11-2 at Pedo State 11-2
Arizona State 12-2 at Notre dame 11-1
Alabama 10-3 at Ohio State 10-2
SMU 12-2 at Tennessee 10-2
Boise state 13-1 at Indiana 11-1
Lots of fun games, like I said, if you truly like watching meaningful college football. Do away with a ton of stupid bowl games and give the players something to not opt out of. The old ways, that I loved, have been dead for 20 years. It's time for something new to rise from the ashes in this money driven era. Imagine if 1989 UW had a chance to play in this tournament. Maybe they finish top 16 or 8 instead of #23 because they had figured something out late that season. Could be really fun, if you like college football.
 
The expansion talk of 16 was already fucking retarded. It’s all a money grab that will ultimately ruin the sport. I have never cared less about the start of football. Dildo’s on the field will be the first storyline of the season, not the actual games.

I think you just cut out a non conference road game. Play G5 and IAA teams at home to tune up and play your 9 conference games. 11 regular season games, no conference title and between 4 and 5 playoff games. So 15 or 16 games? Start the season in late august, finish on thanksgiving weekend. First round first week of December, sweet 16 second week, elite 8 third week, semifinal games on new years, title game the week after. No more competing with the NFL playoffs. Easy.
 
here’s the problem. I never thought there was a lack of good college football games. Any given week there has always been a ton of entertaining games from all conferences from 9am to midnight on the west coast and it never felt like games didn’t matter.
more and more teams in the playoff also won’t be great football. It’s used to be you would have good fringe top 25 teams and continuity but we’re pretty much even at a lot of the top teams being heavy slapped together one year portal heavy shit no one needs to watch.

Schools are going to be playing each other twice a year every season and now you have the NFL.

Eventually the Playoffs should be like the World Series before inter-league play. You’ll never see cross conference games. B10 should play 11 conference games and fully get rid of the non conference slate. Top 6 in the B10 is all that matters anyway. The TV partners would be stoked for more conference games and UW brass would be thankful because they wouldn’t need to sell us UC Davis or Eastern Michigan anymore. Every game means something all the way to the title game. Easy.
 
1 basically preseason game again a lower conference team is fine. Teams playing 3-4 has gotten wild and it sounds even places like Bama we’re struggling with keeping fans invested in those games.

I’ll admit the home playoff game vibe was awesome, until the games actually kicked off and it was clear how big the differences were between the few top teams and the rest.

I still think 6 is the ideal number. You’re never gonna have a team with a legit gripe to be in there who is out and give byes to the two top teams to give some benefit to being the best of the best.

There were blowouts in the final 4 all the time. They happen. Give me more meaningful playoff games with less opt outs and less shitty bowl games.
