if we expand to 16, then we need to treat it like basketball and let every conference champ in. Otherwise it'll be a bunch of undeserving 4/5 loss teams from 2 conferences, instead of teams that earned it, even if they don't belong.

Double edged sword. Then, you'd have a bunch of undeserving G5 champs. Anyone think Ohio U. deserved to be in this year. Or whatever poverty program won the Sunbelt this year?

That is remarkably on par with, well, every other CFB program. Go back and check your math. I have it on good authority from the expert himself that OSU’s lunatic fringe is remarkably larger.

Ohio State's lunatic fringe is far worse. After all, they forced Kirk to start banging every hot Upper Arlington housewife at Scioto Country Club.

Yes. I still believe that if you can't win your conference, you shouldn't be called "national champion". I say this as a Buckeye fan, who is happy to see his team moving through the playoffs, under the current structure, but doesn't like what the structure has become.

Also, I believe that conferences should be balanced so that the champion of it is obvious, which means going back to divisions or smaller conferences, and playing even schedules within that structure.

There's what 130 or so teams in CFB? Ok, 13 10-team conferences, playing 9 games in conference and some at large games, no conference championship game needed. 13 teams get auto-bids +3 at large. Conversely: 6 conferences of 20 teams, broken into 10 team divisions. 9 division games, 3 other games, conference championship between division winners, as a defacto play in game. 8 team playoff with 6 auto-bids and the 2 best runners up.

Either way, I'd rather see the conference championships matter more, bowl games matter more, or at least have more good matchups, due to the diluted playoff.

The more we expand the playoffs, the more the regular season doesn't matter, and I hate that for college football.

Honestly the whole sunbelt and a lot of other teams should go back to FCS. You don't need a FBS team if you draw under 20k on the regular

It literally is a manifestation of delusional narcissism. War, famine, terrorism, genocide, disease and poverty. God can't be bothered to meddle in such trivial matters. God needs to be focused on your foosball team scoring more points that the other foosball team because you're just that important. #GodsPlan

I think there’s some good stuff here and in a couple of other posts.

I personally would like to see it got to more of an NFL style Conference/Division setup, with Division champs and wildcards. If you go to 16 in the current playoff it’s going to get to watered down.

Figure a way to pare down the number of schools In the league to a reasonable size. Split the rest off to a Bowl Series league. Maybe it is something like venues and crowd sizes. Possibly give schools teams a way to come up and others to drop out based on sustainability (doesn’t one of the Euro Football leagues do something of this nature).

most of the euro football leagues have relegation and promotion. I really enjoy that concept, but don't ever see it catching on over here.
