NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

If they expand, they absolutely better let the G6 champs in... all of them, no matter what. 10 auto bids for EVERY conference champion.

This format will essentially eliminate conference title games. What’s the point with a 24-team playoff?

CFB regular season is about to turn into CBB’s regular season. Pretty much irrelevant. A 4 loss OSU can still get in, so what does every game really matter

yeah, we went from bowl sit outs, to regular season sit outs, to avoid injuries, with this format.

Good point. 20 teams earn auto bids (1st and 2nd place from each conference) with only 4 at-large! I'm on board now.

Fuck that noise. I want to part of watching G6 teams get ass pounded by P4 teams.

This isn’t basketball.

It's about to be. I have no interest in arguing over whether the 8th place SEC team or the 7th place B1G gets the last spot.

But really, I want no part in a 12 team playoff, yet here we are.... I thought 6 was the limit. 5 champs, 1 at large (the ND "allowance"). You want to be the National Champion? Win your conference.....

And, the only excitement (for me) in the CBB tourney is those first round upsets, so I'm fine with having a bunch of cinderellas getting their ass kicked in the first round. Much better than watching the 2nd time Auburn loses to Georgia....

But in this sport the 7-8th in the SEC is a different breed of team than the Mountain West winner.

Giving them an auto bid is charity. They have zero chance to win.

That’s essentially the format. On campus games is the big bonus here.

There’s still a piece of me that misses the nostalgia of players being excited to go to tropical bowl games, and seeing the pictures of them opening their tee shirts and game consoles.

At this point it’s all about winning a natty and the players make enough to take tropical vacations at their own expense.

Gonna be hilarious when scUM still can't make a 24 team playoff.

How does one have auto bids for that many teams and 19 at large spots in a 24 team field?

If they expand, they absolutely better let the G6 champs in... all of them, no matter what. 10 auto bids for EVERY conference champion. That leaves 14 at large, and I say no more than 3 at-large bids from any single conference, so even if they take the next best 3 from the P4 conferences, that's still only 12 other teams. ND would make 13, so we'd be looking at another G6 team.... and already I hate this, and it's still my *best* take at 24 teams without having 7th place SEC teams invited..... Fuck this fucking idea. The playoffs are already too big.

I like this idea but I bet a lot of programs in the SEC/B1G will bail to try to get an easier path in a G6

That might not be a bad thing actually.
