Looks like they want to go full retard:
Conf Championships meaningless. In fact, making it to your conference championship might be a bad thing in this scenario.

It does not matter who would have been selected last year because we had what we had. Going forward the 4 (or 6) at large teams will be selected by the criteria the powers decide it will be. I already explained why I do not think it makes the CCG meaningless as winning it is the only guaranteed spot in the playoff's. If it's 12 teams it also gives the top four champions a first round bye.So who would have gotten in after we lost to Bama this year? Should it be us on principle that we won the east or would it be aTm or UGA? How does that not make the Conference Championship meaningless? And this same scenario plays out across all the other conferences as well.
Oh yeah...Id much rather watch a opted out team play another opted out team in some stupid meaningless bowl game.
Again, this aint about your version of utopia, its about it looks like it will be a 12 team playoff coming. What is the best way they can make that happen? Or even, how will they F it up and even destroy college football further.
In 2009 UF was undefeated and ranked #1 going into the CCG against Bama. We lost! If we had 8 or 12 teams in a post season playoff in 2009 we would have rightly qualified and maybe won the whole thing. Like I said we disagree on this point.
Nailed it. Sadly, it looks like the powers that be are determined to take all the juice out of CFB and turn it into just another entertainment option for generally disinterested fans.But we weren't even the best team in our own conference. What claim do we have for a National Title shot? If you like the idea of teams being an at-large and making a run en route to a championship, you have all day Sunday for that.
And the flipside to that argument is that it would also mean we'd have potentially been playing '96 Nebraska, 2006 Usc or 2008 Texas. Also, as I mentioned, I can just about guarantee you that the noles would have at least one more title as they would've destroyed Michigan and Neb in '97 and our upset that night would've been as meaningless a their victory over our men's basketball team in 2007. It sounds good in theory, but it has a lot of downside as well.
I'm not a Bucs fan, but it was fun watching them catch their stride last season and win the SB. That's the NFL. It was also fun watching us become an absolute buzz saw in the post-OM stretch of 2008, where we knew we had zero margin for error and played with that understanding. That's college football.
I doubt it. I still think the 12-team idea is just a negotiating tactic.Ok, so...in reality, the latest seems to be that they will be moving to a 12 team playoff. Its quite obvious that this triggers a lot of you, but it sounds like that is what will happen. Ignoring your inner triggered responses to state how things should be, how should the 12 teams be decided? Biased rich f@chs in a closed room or on the field?
Neteng must really be a community college grad (UCF).Nobody wants to watch Bama, Klimpson, or tOSU play the MAC or Conference USA champion (Ball State and UAB, respectively last year).
Those games won't get ratings and they won't get fans in the stands either. It's silly.
Which is exactly why playoffs suck.Conf Championships meaningless. In fact, making it to your conference championship might be a bad thing in this scenario.
There is no downside to great and meaningful football games. Every sport, every division has a playoff EXCEPT D1 football which has a 4 team selected tournament. Eliminate the discussion, play a tournament based on merit. There will be at-large teams, get the **** over it, ND will see to it. It's OK, it's better, the players will like it and the fans will like it. The money generated will be insane as will the excitement.But we weren't even the best team in our own conference.

They arent great and meaningful. Who gives a fuchs about Memphis vs Alabama?There is no downside to great and meaningful football games.

Tijuana it's not a good idea, but if this is how the NCAA decides to go... Which given the fountain of great ideas they have proven to be. It's going to happen ... Which is the basis of the conversation.Which is exactly why playoffs suck.
Hell, why not take the last two games in November off too?
They will, just like the NFL does.
It is amazing you mouthbreathing morons think this is a good idea, just to help our endless line of losing douchebag coaches.
I'd tell you to sober up but that won't do anything for your bad case of Mullinz Derangement Syndrome. Expanding the playoffs has nothing to do with him or the Gators. It's about making the whole sport of college football more interesting and competitive, and less stagnant.Which is exactly why playoffs suck.

Bravo, GGG, F ing BRAVO. You hit the nail on the head on that one. Like x1000 if I could.Anything else would ruin your nonstop-b*tching-and-complaining schtick.
I don't know why I was saying 5 or 6 teams, it's mainly just four teams. Bama, Clemson, tOSU and Oklahoma. With the exception of the first year of the CFP, when only two of them made it, those four teams have occupied three of the four playoff berths EVERY year. I'm tired of it.Bravo, GGG, F ing BRAVO.

what makes you think those same teams won’t be in the semi finals of this ridiculous expanded playoff? Do you really think Iowa St, Indiana, Miami or Danny Boys Gators will beat them in playoff games when they can’t beat them in the regular season?I don't know why I was saying 5 or 6 teams, it's mainly just four teams.

In my own infamous thread on playoff expansion a year or two ago, I mentioned a family joke about the time my Mom was eyeballing an electric waffle iron at a Service Merchandise store, and my Dad said, "what do we need a waffle maker for? We never eat waffles!"Some of you guys are hilarious.
