    With 12 teams in teams like BAMA, Notre Dame, Ohio, etc are going to be in there every year even if they have a loss or possibly 2. The regular season will lose it's importance.

    Can’t imagine why people wouldn’t want to see the so called lesser teams play the so called blue bloods

    Sure, the lower conferences will take their lumps, but they will win a few too.

    Having a true playoff hasn’t hurt the NFL regular season.

    Furthermore, the 12 team playoff helps every school except Alabama, Georgia, OSU, Michigan and Clemson.

    Now kids can actually go to the school they want to and still have a hope of making the playoffs.

    So as the rankings sit now 1-4 would have a bye and we'd get
    #12 OU vs #5 Oregon
    #11 Ole Miss vs #6 OSU
    #10 PSU vs #7 Texas
    #9 Misery vs #8 Bama
    ....sounds awful

    I do not think that is how it works. Many of those top twelve teams will be replaced by teams from shitty conferences.

    This year you would replace 11&12 with the AAC champion and Texas

    Yeah that would be horrible

    Why not? What do you have against Tulane?

    Hell, they have had more SEC success than 1/2 the SEC. Bad move leaving when they did.

    So change the damn channel. My god, people act like Georgia and Alabama are to only two teams that matter in this world.


    Before the last two seasons it’s been 40 years since Georgia went undefeated.

    The rule for next year is the 6 highest ranked conference champs are auto-ins, 6 at large, 1-4 have byes.... but I think that is only applicable for next year as they didn't anticipate a conference going away. Either way the next 2 highest ranked conference champs will most likely be Texas and Tulane unless someone gets upset...who Ironically according to some forecasts are going to be playing each other in the fiesta bowl. Still not understanding how this is ruining college football. I hear ppl say "it ruins the reg season", "it ruins bowls", "teams will get blown out"....explain how, and how is it different than teams getting blown out now?

    But again lets set it up and see how bad it sucks...
    Tulane vs Oregon
    Ole Miss vs OSU
    PSU vs Texas
    Bama vs Misery

    UCF has had plenty of bowl success.

    Wins against Georgia, Florida, Auburn & Baylor.

    Had a bunch of loses too. We will win a playoff game sooner rather than later. #ChargeOn

    I think it will be great! Agree 100% with you.

    should be happening this year, but they could get the deal done.

    I've said it before...I believe we will end up with 2 leagues and divisions within, play-offs similar to the NFL and yes some junk reg season games...like there are now.

    I'd say the Bama / UGA fans would be on board if it was say...2005 again.

    Another plus for a 12 team playoff is we will get 11 games that people care about.

    Let’s face it other than the New Years 6 no one cares about the Bowl Games.

    Out side of the 3 playoff games top players sit out to prepare for the draft or portal

    I dont think most real Bammers care...the bandwagon fans might...the ones of us that have always been here know better...what the expanded playoff will do is put emphasis on games that havent seen it in a long long time...just like the semi finals have seen the last several years now those play in games are gonna have meaning and teams better be prepared for em...

    With this commity. I think Alabama has to win by 2 TDs to be in. That may not do it.
