The 2020 College Football Season

SKULL SESSION: COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF WILL STILL PICK FOUR BEST TEAMS, URBAN MEYER OFFERS ADVICE TO BIG TEN COACHES, AND SOME NEW PROJECTED WIN TOTALS

BEST FOUR TEAMS.
If it's played, college football's going to look a hell of a lot different this year. But don't worry, we'll still have the College Football Playoff selection committee!

“Clearly there will be challenges this year, and we will see what those challenges are and work through them,” College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock told USA TODAY Sports.

Even if given only conference games to consider — and even as the details of conference schedules, such as how many games teams in the Big Ten will play, remain undecided — the playoff selection committee will use the same protocol used throughout the postseason format's existence in determining its weekly and final rankings, Hancock said.

“Whatever the season looks like, the committee will select the best four teams based on the protocol,” he said.

I am glad to hear that they will not change the protocol, which they've made clear does not actually exist anyway.

Given that they have always chosen the correct teams with absolutely no controversy or contention, I have nothing but faith that they'll do it again with a much smaller and varied sample!

But hey, if they're just going to arbitrarily choose four teams and then rationalize the decision how they see fit regardless, I guess it shouldn't really matter how many games are played anyway.

Fuck it, there are 64 teams in the Power 5, right? Let’s have a 64 team, regional neutral site, World Cup format tournament. If this year is gonna blow anyway, let’s make it the one year we see what happens without home cooking refs, home cooking bowl games, and home cooking playoff committees.
Only problem with that is, 32 teams will end up playing only one game, 16 teams only two games, eight teams only three games, four teams only four games, and the last two only fives games. Not much of a season.

No I’m talking about a World Cup format...8 groups of 8, round robin within the group, so everyone plays 7 neutral site games. Then, top 2 in each group enter a bracketed elimination round (winner of one plays second place in two, etc.). Everyone gets 7 games at least, final 2 play 11 games.

I guess if I had followed the World Cup I would've known what you meant. :lol:

You may note I didn't say they willingly tolerate me.

I knew you had mind powers.

Love this idea. Wish it would happen.
