The Case for NOT Expanding the CFB Playoff

[greenblood]

If I were Alabama, why would I schedule a tough OOC opponent if I have the guns to pummel the conference into submission early? Then I can simply bench Tagovailoa and the other stars, rest them up for the conference championship, win that and secure a playoff spot. And no one else in the country would be interested in watching the rest of our games because we'll be playing our 2nd and 3rd stringers in games where it doesn't matter if we win or not.

Again, you are assuming you win the conference championship. What happens if you shit the bed? That strength of schedule could save your ass. With conference championships getting you into the playoffs it actually entices teams to schedule tough OOC games. Those loses don’t hurt you if you win your conference.

He doesn't get it. And I doubt ever will. I give up.

IF only we had some precedent for a division I playoff that works

Holy shit, gysm, if the playoffs expanded, Alabama would schedule OOC against, like, Citadel or something! That would ruin college football!

But but but...it interferes with school schedules and midterms! Also, what about the smaller schools? It’s always been about the money. Until people stop watching Bowl games, we will always have them.

Heres a good play off for you guys. We'll take college football back

I guess it comes down to whether a person cares about who is the best in the land or not.

I’m as traditional as they come but if finding out whose the best in the land, there has to be some sort of playoff. Just about Every American major sport has some sort of playoff. While the current NCAAF CFP system is still subjective, it is better than the BCS where they at least tried to pit subjectively[/i] #1 and 2...and it’s a helluva lot better than prior BCS as some here are suggesting to go back to where there are teams that “share” national championships and teams “claiming” they won the national championship when they wasn’t a part of the game.

Prove it on the Gridiron or never let “national champion” come across your brain cells to be transferred to your pie hole or finger tips, even if it’s awarded to your team. Not past, present or future if your desire is to win the conference and be relegated to the Rose bowl or Sugar and play whoever with a chance to be named 1 and possibly receive a participation trophy.

So the NFL it is for you

Leave college football alone. Its been fucked up enough already

Nope, rather see whose best in the land CF, as many fans.

Perhaps this because PAC has had no one win in the CFP, much less the national championship since this “playoff” began?? I’d bet if a PAC team was high, especially Washington in this case, they’d prolly be a different attitude and I’d hear(see) more “national”, yes “NATIONAL” champion vs this regional old subjective biased stick with Rose vs BIG 10 horseshit.... Perhaps...

Well we better get all 128 teams in the tournament then to be sure we KNOW who is best in the land

Washington has won 3 natties you MSU fucking loser bulldog. You aren't even in the SEC bitch

College football is college football. The NFL has the play off you are looking for

You wish your third rate program could play in the Rose Bowl

Take a drink and get banned

In 1997 the Rose Bowl's payout was twice that of the Orange or Sugar. So why did the elite academis conferences agree to this BCS nonsense in the first place? We had all the fucking leverage.

I blame Sven and the internet. As usual

The loud we have to have a real champion voices combined with college football getting kind of pregnant with playoffs started the road to ruin

The PAC 10 and Big 10 were the premier leagues in the land. The proof is in the pudding. They aren't anymore

Did you know that after the first SEC Championship game that was on a one year contract ABC asked for how much to renew and the SEC asked for Rose Bowl money and got it

 

[SECDAWG]

Triggered. Name calling and all....How bout you take a drink and chill. I’ll refrain from the name calling....

128 teams to find out whose #1. Yeah OK. Takes all NCAAF baseball teams to find out who is 1...

I see where ya stand on the issue. Good. Wonderful. I am having a drink thank you and YOU Have a fukn glorious Halloween.

The SEC won 3 total natties from 1980- 2000. The sport was far better in this era than what we have now. It's boring as fuck to have the same 3 teams make the CFP every year and no one else matters.

Playoffs are for championship caliber teams. The 4 team playoff does a pretty good job of weeding out the pretenders.

Disagree. To the teams that don't like it: be better.

it sounds good and I kinda go by that a little....so no, everything pretty “lightly” to me. But as you were soldier of dawg, by all means carry on..

 

[HuskyJW]

For the last fucking time

You break all teams into tier 1 tier 2 and tier 3. How do you figure which team is in which tier? I don’t know use Sagarin ratings for like the last four years and average it out or something.

You play a home and home with a team from each Tier. You don’t get to pick your opponent. It’s a blind draw. Yes that means Alabama might have to go to Rice or something. Redo rankings every two years and do it again,

5 conference champions are in....3 At Large. Weird I know because it makes perfect sense

Don’t lose
