I thought they did pretty well with a chance to win in the 4th with their backup QB in his 2nd start. Nice win by Northwestern beating Auburn. Nice of ND to scrimmage against Alabama to keep them fresh for OSU. Edited January 3, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like watching them, because they usually play good teams, meaning it's a good game, not like watching Minnesota against Indiana or Purdue or whatever. And please google "captain Tuttle."

The college football bowls and playoffs need to change. It’s the same teams in the playoffs and too many players sit out the bowl games because they are meaningless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you can make it better with the 5 big 5 conference champs, plus the highest rated group of 5 team and 2 wild cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 You are adding one more round of games. Every other division of football plays an actual playoff. I believe the FCS has a 24 team playoff starting around Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Where's the d'oh smiley when you need it?) And IMHO those extra rounds of playoffs don't really work unless the big boys are willing to drop their regular seasons down to ~9 games. Teams have already seem to have been increasing RS's to 12 games. Can't see them shorten schedules in a normal year when that extra round of playoff bowls don't really add extra money onto the table. Does changing the designation of 4 regular bowl games to playoff games result in more money than each of the big conferences playing 2-3 extra games (plus all the other schools that would shorten schedules)? Would players on the 8th place team opt out of their playoff game rather than drop their draft status or risk injury getting destroyed by Bama in the 1st round? Until there's enough money there to get those answers be yes to the 1st & no to the 2nd, they won't expand. Plus, how desperately will the Bamas & Clemsons fight expansion of the playoffs as none of those big teams want to risk the injuries of that extra game & more importantly the embarrassment of that once/ decade playoff version of Michigan-Appalachan State? They'll fight expansion tooth & nail, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s 8 total teams. Yes. And that's why the post you quote said it was initially a misread that you'd meant 12 when you actually meant 8. As already stated, had originally read your line about taking the best of the next 5 as taking the next 5 rather than 1 of them. But, thank you for reclarifying something that had already been clarified and subsequently rectified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think 12 is a good number. 10 conference winners and two wild cards and give the top four a bye week. The first round games should be much better football with the top four getting byes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are drubbings every year in the four man playoffs but we still do those and deem them inconclusive. The truth is, the best team in college football probably wins the title every year as it is. There are too many teams on the outside with undefeated seasons that want their chance to get whooped up on, let them have their fun. Who knows, crazier upsets have happened.

They don't belong and we all know it. The same will apply to your ill-thought playoff system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
