I'd like to see 16 teams.
No byes.
No conference championship games.
Notre Dame needs to join a conference.
Dismantle the NCAA, they're a joke.
Pick the BEST teams, Tulane and James Madison should never been considered last year.
Exactly. A G5 team will never win in the playoffs. Im okay with an automatic bid for the power 4 conference champions but it should end there. and the loser shouldnt be punished for that extra game.
I dont like the byes either
ND should need to join a conference but the power 4 most likely need to stop scheduling them for that to happen since they get treated like a conference as 1 team.
Make a separate playoff for the G4 teams, they cant compete against the top power 4 teams.
If a 16 team format were adopted for the CFP with a stipulation of no more than 3 teams per conference would you SEC guys still be just as enthusiastic about it??

Only two questions: WHO picks the teams?? HOW do they pick them??
.
Same as now. They'll never get it 100% correct.
Looking back there were probably 5-6 teams good enough to win it all. It'll be the same next year.
Nobody thought Miami was good enough and they almost won it all.
Just stop with the participation selections (JM, Tulane). Notre Dame and Texas should have got those 2 spots.

That would also be stupid as that means youre putting 4 G5 teams in the playoffs and G5 teams have no business in the playoffs
Mr. Knowitall strikes again. I'll take the above answer to be "No, we wouldn't" and the reason is simple. That base bal guy has given up on even the illusion of being openminded.

Every Professional Sports League has guidelines in place for how teams qualify to play for the Championship. They are pretty much “carved in stone” for all to see. Then we get to the NCAA where the Conferences with the most power attempt to form the “rules” so one of their teams has the best chance of playing/winning the Natty.
The NCAA needs to step in and define the CFP format and enforce its rules. There will always be teams playing in the CFP who don’t have a realistic chance at the Natty. If you don’t understand that you are stupid, obtuse or base bal guy. The only logical solution is to have a format where teams “play-in” by winning something like their Conference Championship. Coming in 3rd or 4th place shouldn’t qualify a team.

I wasn’t referring to you. Why would you assume I was as you have never said that. Maywood did though. Best teams with quotas. Don’t let the Keynesians hear about this sacrilegious nonsense.
Just stop with the participation selections (JM, Tulane).
Four other participation selections: Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas A&M. Along with the aforementioned JM and Tulane that is half the field that really had no expectation of winning the Natty. But I suppose they were all good choices from a fan-base money generating perspective. There will always be teams involved without a realistic expectation of making it through the playoff but they still need to be there.

JMU was not the best team by the rules in place. They had no quality wins. The committee made them that way over ranking them for beating up on a conference that was really bad this year.
The idea of limiting the amount of teams from a conference forcing more G5 teams in the playoffs is the worst proposal Ive heard so far.

Bringer of rain. Watching this guy detach from reality has been a guilty pleasure of mine. However I was able to track Maywood down on Facebook and it’s a sad situation so give him a break.
That 4-loss stat is sort of amazing, but I would remind you that there’s no BIAS involved in the AP Poll/CFP Committee voting.
I know I probably sound like a broken record, but the ONLY way to logically and fairly choose the Playoff teams is with more inter-conference play and the top finishers in each conference qualifying.

Team to watch the next few years, LSU. They have the #1 class in the transfer portal with 40 players.
5-star QB and a herd of OL/DL that are battle tested. Kiffen was very good at Old Miss, he'll be better in Baton Rouge.
They'll make noise this year, might make the CFP.

Kiffins going to be a problem there. He has significantly more resources there and its easier to recruit there. They basically just have to fix their offense which him and the staff hes bring will do in a year or two if not right away
@Bullsitter said: might make the CFP regarding LSU. There’s not much to support that aside from wishful thinking, but it’s probably safe to assume the following eight teams will make the cut.

Time for the base bal guy to stop defending the indefensible and for his cool-ness to stop rubbing salt in the wound and switch to Preperation H. - - - It’ll help shrink the SEC Fan-base’s pain from having their keister kicked up and down the field.

Not sure about that, what could use is a little less bickering about things from last year and little less discussion of “who’s dad is the toughest” already.
More talk about signed recruits, who went to who in the portal, injuries and the like would help. And less focus on just a team or conference would be nice, also.
