**** anything more than 8 teams.
It’s time most of the bowls go to hell.
Go to a field of 32 teams. Seed them like basketball. Home teams with better records. Have 16 games starting first week Dec. Eight the second week. Four before Christmas. Hold a Final Four just like in basketball with a round robin of what used to be the Rose, Fiesta, Orange and Sugar. Done.
If you want that go watch the NFL. How many 3 loss teams do you have in, maybe even four loss teams.It’s time most of the bowls go to hell.

College football is great because every game from week one on can be the difference between having a shot at the championship. Giant playoff fields render the regular season meaningless and are boring as well.
Is should read, “Notre Dame never gets selected because **** them.”#2 encourages ND to have a **** schedule, and is just stupid anyway. What about other independents?
Is should read, “Notre Dame never gets selected until they join a conference.”
I think LSU is 2, no?
First Top 4
Ohio State
Alabama
LSU
Penn State
Next four
Clemson
Georgia
Oregon
Utah
Can't really debate the top 4, but I'd flip Alabama and LSU.

Bama gets botd, but Klatt brought up an interesting stat... Bama has the worst opponent win % in P5, at least before last weekends games. They’ll obviously have their chance to prove it this weekend, but could make an argument they are 4th or even 5th.

Must win. And I think they do.If Alabama loses on Saturday, they are pretty much done. Their only real chance at a quality win left would be Auburn.
That seems to be the consensus I've been hearing today. Idk if I buy it, though. I get the reasons why that could be the case. I'll believe it when I see it, I guess. They win this weekend, it'll probably put that to bed. Unless, Auburn finds a way to beat them.If Alabama loses on Saturday, they are pretty much done.

Crazy thing would be if we finally got a chaotic championship weekendI'm betting LSU, Clemson, and OSU make it. The last spot is for Oregon, Oklahoma or Alabama.
Agree. LSU better able to get in than Bama with one loss (unless maybe Bama curb stomps them)I think there's a good chance Alabama isn't in this year. LSU looks like the better team, and I think if one loss Alabama is going against one loss conference champ Oregon and one loss conference champ Oklahoma for the final spot, Bama sits at home.
Would be pretty pretty pretty good
I'll take 8, 12, or 16. I'm not picky.16's too many. Take the bottom four out and call it 12 and I'm down
FCS does a 24 team playoff and nobody complains. I'm actually all for this 16 team bracket. I think this model would be right on par if not better than the ratings for NFL playoffs, and would rival college hoops as the greatest postseason in sports.16's too many.

Those are the initial CFP rankings. Things tend to get flushed out by the time the real rankings come out at the end. If a team finishes undefeated or with 1 loss, regardless of schedule, is there really an argument that they shouldn't be able to at least compete for a national championship? If they are living a lie like Baylor and Minnesota might be doing right now, they'll lose in the first round of the playoffs.I think you're stretching when you allow somebody like Baylor to compete for a natty given their joke of a schedule.
