Siouxperfan7 Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Imagine an FBS playoff that mirrors the NFL. Only with no Conferences (and no reseeding after the first round). Teams ranked 1-12 get in with the top 4 teams getting a bye. First and second round games are hosted by the higher seed. Semifinals and Championship still remain the same with 2 Bowl games and the Championship game. Imaging 11 FBS playoff games instead of just 3!! 1 Quote

This is even better than the 8 team playoff I posted about a month ago. Quote

Biggest argument for people against expanding the playoffs is "every game matters". Well, in this scenario, getting a top 4 seed is huge. Hosting a quarterfinal game and getting a bye when your opponent just played the week before is a huge advantage. As long as the TV revenue (which would be massive" is shared amongst the schools or conferences of teams participating, this would be a no brainer. Think hoer amped everyone gets about the NCAA basketball tournament. This would be no different. Of course, this makes too much sense, so it will never happen. 1 Quote

Memphis should be the representative of the G5 this year, although they lost to Penn State in a bowl. 12 makes more sense the 8, as the cash dispersed will probably triple and at least one G5 could be guaranteed. At least then the G5 wouldn’t be seeded directly against the #1 seed, but probably the #5. 1 Quote
Yote 53 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Need to have conference champs get an autobid. Treat it the same way the NFL treats Division champs. If you want the regular season, and more games, to be meaningful and for every game to matter then you need to make conference races important. I disagree with the "every game matters" in the regular season crowd the way things sit right now. It's BS. Only a couple of games each season matter at all. In fact, I can list which games mattered this season: LSU v Alabama LSU v Auburn Alabama v Auburn Georgia v Florida Georgia v Notre Dame Georgia v LSU - CCG Oregon v Utah - CCG Oklahoma v Baylor Ohio State v Penn State Ohio State v Michigan Ohio State v Wisconsin - CCG That's about it. Clemson didn't play a meaningful game, at least not one where anybody reasonably expected them to be at risk of losing. Given the massive number of CFB games in a season the number of games that have an impact on the playoffs and the NC race is pitiful. Quote

It's mis-seeded. 1 should play the 8/9 winner. 2 should play the 7/10 winner. 3 should play the 6/11 winner. 4 should play the 5/12 winner. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Autobids to all FBS Conference Champions: SEC - LSU AAC - Memphis Big 10 - Ohio St. Mt. West - Boise St. ACC - Clemson Sunbelt - Appalachian St. Big 12 - Oklahoma Conf. USA - Florida Atlantic Pac 12 - Oregon MAC - Miami (OH) At large bids to the next 6 teams using the current ranking system Georgia Baylor Wisconsin Florida Penn St. Utah Seed the teams based on the current ranking system (avoiding conference head to head rematches) Highest seed hosts in first two rounds. Semifinals are Bowl games, and Championship game remains the same. 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 OU fans shudder when they see that 4/13 game you have. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 The logic says LSU..... but that nagging voice says Clemson and their undefeated stud QB. Quote
