I've been saying that since they started talking about a 4 game playoff.

It was the greatest regular season sport in the world. Once you put a playoff on it, to some degree or another, you water down that thing that made it unique.

Now it's clearly too many but I still believe they are doing it with other steps in mind. This alone doesn't make any sense.

It can still work if the P4 teams don't play non P4 teams

Play 9 in your conference and 3 say 1 of each from the other P4.

If you can't finish top half of the B1G or SEC without the lower level cupcakes then fuck off.

Won't happen overnight but the "super conference" type scheduling is my guess for step 2 after the 24 team playoff is officially a done deal.

If they don't change the way the P4 do regular season then, yeah. Its fucked.

It will have to be mandated. If it is up to the schools, it will be cupcake city.

Even just saying P4 isn't enough. The blue bloods will just cut $1 million dollar checks to the bottom tier P4 schools instead of MAC schools.

It needs to be mandated, with pre-determined matchups based on prior year's standings.

And even with all of that? You're just NFL lite now. It still doesn't matter if you lose a few games.

I hope your tomatoes wither on the vine and die. I hope your okra is infested with aphids. I hope a crawfish you eat reanimates in your stomach and claws its way out through your spleen.

How even DARE you. Don’t even joke about that. Mother fucker.

You are dead to me.

And before anyone argues about the fcs,

I was at the week 0 game at NDSU and sat next to a guys who has been a die hard Bisons fan for decades. He told me that about half the stadium was full during early round playoff games because the fans were getting bored with those games since they made the playoffs every year and won during most of them.

An extreme example since they were a fcs dynasty for a while, but I think it will hold as if LSU went to the playoffs at 8-4 to play a 10-2 liberty, I would not care to go to that game.

I am absolutely certain this is not only going to hurt regular season viewership, but it is also going to drive down ticket prices for regular season games.

Nobody is paying hundreds of dollars to watch a regular season game anymore. Those days are done.

Hopefully the schools are getting a huge slice of the CFP pie, otherwise they are going to be in pain from lack of ticket revenue.
