College Football Playoff 🏆

https://twitter.com/MattBrownCFB/status/1746991193345433723

Since the end of the 2015 season, only FIVE programs in 8 full seasons of college football have held a #1 ranking for even a single week.

When people say it’s the same handful of teams every damn year they are statistically correct.

Expansion is way way way overdue.

Excuse my ignorance here.

What is 5+7 and a 6+6 format?

Top 5 conference champions with 7 at large berths
vs.
Top 6 conference champions with 6 at large berths

Pray the 5+7 model never gets agreed upon. top 6 makes it a LOT easier for the AAC champion to get into the playoff.

Ah then yes I’m in favor of 6+6.

I fail to understand why they don’t do a 10+2 then. Every conference champion makes it, then two at-large. It would effectively not change the status quo but would allow for smaller programs to get there name out there.

I hate FBS college football.

10+2 is easy to understand why it will never happen…GREED. 6+6 is the best scenario …but even with that, greed is pushing hard against it. Sadly, greed is killing college sports across the board of big revenue sports…NIT is a perfect example.

The perfect format would be to go to 16. Reduce FBS down to 8 conferences and have 8 AQs and 8 at large.

But that would make too much sense and allow too much access for the G5.

Not one G5 member… Connect the dots.

Is Washington State G5 now?

“Expanding the playoff is a bad idea”

PS - This is exactly why we shouldn’t roll over on trying to hold the 6+6 format. Look at all that GD money. That’s over a billion per season. :flushed:

Accounts like this actually celebrating cutting back from 6+6 is vomit inducing. They are part of the problem.

:face_vomiting:

Gotta get an extra sec team in there somehow. This is how. :face_vomiting:

The rich rarely understand how much they need a healthy middle class.

Does this mean the top G5 conferenceis now out?

No. Just one out of 12 spots though. Don’t ever expect them to award any at larges to G5.

The G5 reps had to vote on this, so I guess we have to assume they agreed to give up two years of 6+6 for long term assurances that the 5th spot would at least be held for them.

I still think that is myopic. In 2 years the SEC and B1G will be ready to leave and do their own thing. In my opinion we should have milked them for the extra berth and $$$ for the two years (2024 and 2025). There’s no guarantee they’ll still be playing “FBS” or “CFP” football in 2026.

I would be interested to get Biff’s initial reaction to this. Maybe Hunter Bailey can reach out to him.

Meanwhile that also means that the G5 champ is going to be relegated to a non bye situation. The 5th slot is just a 1st round guaranty and nothing more.

6-6 was never going to happen.

Just to be clear, 6+6 was in place already, contractually, for 2024 and 2025.
