2024 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

1. WTF is the meteor?
2. How tight is Sark’s collar?
3. Middle of the third Texas up by 21 and Ewers drops one on a dime, obvious PI and the ref doesn’t call it. Did the network guy tell him that they can’t sell commercial time for a 28 point blowout?

First thing you have to do is 4, 16 team FBS conferences that operate under the same rules. Two 8 team divisions. 9 conference games per year plus 3 non conference games. Conference championship game gives 4 playoff bids. The last 4 come from the rankings. First round games on campus last 4 Major Bowls. Fight it out. Done and fucking done.

The caveat is conferences could start relegation so if a perennial loser occurs you drop them for an up and comer from the lower league but that would be a bit more complicated.
I would rather just have eight conferences each with eight teams, only conference champions go to the playoffs. Everyone else can play in the Carquest/Camping World/Dukes/Whatever bowl.

Meteor means we hate both teams and wish a meteor would wipe them all out. I believe it was coined when ND played scUM yearly

I don't think you fix the problem with the 2nd sentence by using the process of the 3rd sentence. Rankings are too biased (i.e. SEC circle-jerk). At least auto-bids take subjectivity out of it.
I think addressing the second sentence problem would require either smaller conferences or divisions in conferences where each team advancing to a conference championship has played every other team in their division. In the latter case, conference championships would essentially become the first round of the playoffs.
