Didn’t watch the games yesterday but looking at the scores I think we have enough data points on rest vs rust.

Next year should be 16 and get rid of the byes. Indiana just has an underdog mindset that keeps them focused. Only top-4 seed to make it out of 8 so far.

I prefer to keep it 12 teams but first 2 rounds are home games for higher seeds. Additionally, the quarters should be played before Christmas. Way too long of a break.

What advantage did OSU get by being a top 4 seed? They played an away game at a half empty stadium. Again the whole set up is about money and not the actual game of football.
The teams with byes should have a home game and it should be mid December. Then all 4 teams have a 2 week layoff until the New Year Days bowls. Then the Final Game around Jan 8-10

This seems so simple and logical to me

Also 2 of the 4 games were stinkers.

Indy smoked Bama it was enjoyable only in the fact that listening to Herby mock how bad Bama was getting murdered was enjoyable. Who even watched the Ore vs TT game? Too early and boring game.

OSU game was very good. And the Ole Miss game was a barn burner. I will say I was disappointed massively by OSU (I know all here agree) as OSU never rose to the moment. I was expecting a finish similar to Georgia vs Ole Miss where both teams threw haymakers.

I am 100% pulling for a Indy vs Ole Miss Final. I can’t get enough of the Indy Team of Autistic humans starting with the HC. And the Chambliss kid from a small town in MI who played at Ferris is just too good of a story. Who ever wins that game would legend.

16 teams

Regular season finales are always Thanksgiving weekend.

Get rid of CC games, replace that week with the round of 16.

Round of 8 next week, semis the week after that, natty on Dec 31/Jan 1. The semis would always be around Dec 15-21, plenty of time for rest before the title. No layoffs, and it gets rolling asap.

Fuck the bowls, every game is a home game for the higher seed until the title game, which is a rotating neutral site or just the Rose Bowl in perpetuity.

Also break away from the G-6, get rid of the committee, and never change the format.

THIS. That way teams who avoid CC games don't get extra time off from those teams who do. I'm looking at you, South Bend.

I agree. Go to 16 teams, get rid of conference championships (if we were co champions this year then so be it), first two rounds on campus, and my recommendation is re-seed every round so the top seeds play the lowest remaining seeds.

Or shoot let the top seeds pick who they’ll play (this would be hilarious).

Yup, re seed every round as well, there needs to be incentive to finish in the top rung.

Holy shit. The Sirius morning guys went ballistic on the sec. They must have been reading this board. They used the phrase "preseason sec hype," talked about how inflated rankings pump up the quality of wins and negate their losses and even mocked Greg Sankey pounding his fist on the table to hype the conference.

I wonder who'll be hosting that show next week.

Folks... CC games aren't going away... we're not getting LESS games... unless folks are gonna payout massive amounts of cash to the networks... .they are aren't going away... Fox isn't gonna agree to lose the B1G without getting some CFP games... which ESPN wont give up.... so the inventory of games will only increase ... never decrease.
