Largest conferences in FBS history: 2024 Big Ten: 18 2024 ACC: 17 2024 Big 12: 16 2024 SEC: 16 1996-98 WAC: 16 2020 ACC: 15 The P4 conference title races are going to be more clogged than ever, especially without divisions.
Yes, as a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, I am a realistic fan, it's going to be SEC and Big Ten, they have the money and power to weed out all of the rest of them!!! And, eventually there will be no conferences, possibly only!!@
You can’t deny this gives teams more of a goal. If you can get to the playoffs you can start building your schools reputation give players a reason to want to come to your school. Brings more competition and competitiveness
@xavierspeak9011 He beat Michigan 5 years in a row until they started cheating. If he wins Big10, he's OK. Besides. Who are they going to get that is better?
@@jamezbrian4135i was going to call you out about how stupid you are for saying a one point loss is a whipping but after seeing more of your comments i can see your page is dedicated to watching and talking about Ohio State all day.
It’s definitely in the coaches job description to lead. If a coach is able to take the reins of being a leader for voice in college football it will benefit them in recruiting so this will sort itself out.
I really don't understand why people are so against a 12-team playoff. I don't think you can fairly judge in a 4 team playoff, because the teams that get in are picked by a committee with a lot of bias and then you have teams that are legitimate contenders getting held out because of votes. Now you're giving 12 out of 130 some odd teams a challenge to prove that they are worthy of being called national champions.
They're still picked by a (small) committee with the same bias. The NFL chooses bases off records, but play a relatively equal schedule. Until college football breaks into a field of 64 it will never be equal. I've followed college football for a solid 50 years and have seen my favorite team (Alabama) win many championships. The changes are both good and bad in my opinion, but we as fans would be better with however many teams and the BCS formula.
We may look back on this and think how quaint or naive to think the way CFP works in 2024 will be the same in 4 or 5 years. I won't be surprised if things look different for playoffs even in 2 years. It might even be a P2 12 team, for example. So this model might still feel new and then be modified again.
expansion is just the open door for more teams to get blown out. people say it brings more hope for the sport in which it does, but realistically only 8 teams have the resources to win a championship every year. a 2019 LSU is once in a blue moon scenario that probably won’t ever happen again. there’s a high chance of 5 teams finishing 9-3 and 4 of them being left out and if it’s an SEC team in everyone will point the finger, grab their pitchforks, and call it bias.
I agree, but it's going to be some great games. Group of 5 team getting an automatic bid no. They have no business in it. It's going to be 1 conference champ that's going to get in, that's not going to be good. It's a process that's got some holes in it, but hopefully in a few years, they get it right. More college football I'm all for. Hopefully it doesn't have that many blowouts. Maybe 2 games
I would love to see total chaos every year and some major upsets -- like, say, 6 seed Ohio State losing their first round home game to 11 seed Utah, even if we ultimately end up with 3 seed Oregon vs 1 seed Georgia in the final. The beauty of college football is that you never know what's going to happen week to week. Who would have thought, for instance, that last year Auburn and Georgia would be tied late in the fourth quarter?
I want to be the delusional fool that thinks there can be a March Madness like run....and there will probably be a year someone spoils it for a team in 6th-7th place some years, but that feels like that would be more an issue of the committee's seeding than a true talent boost. Reality is the best of the "worst' is getting 5th, and that's likely facing a G5 team in the first round. A nice gentle warmup, at home, very little chance of an upset. Last year pretty much proved the point. It was what would now be 5 B1G teams, 5 SEC teams, FSU, and what would have been Liberty. Oklahoma would have been the only 2 loss team left out, Louisville and Iowa clearly didn't stand much of a chance (neither were competitive in their respective conference title games, and Louisville was facing a team without their starting QB, but did at least have the rest of the 30 players that ultimately left before their bowl game). 12 team playoff before the mergers is really a fun conversation every year. Big 12 had one guaranteed, and do people really think Mizzou, Ole Miss, or Penn State are better teams than Oklahoma? Yeah the Sooners lost to Oklahoma State AND Kansas, but they did beat Texas. What did Ole Miss do? Lose to Georgia 52-17, to Alabama 24-10? Are those better losses because they were to better teams? OU was 8 points away from a perfect season. Just down the line there was more intrigue from a conference standpoint and more fun discussions, truly what college football is about. Now I have to sit and hear commissioners whine about not having 4 guaranteed spots when they're clearly superior. Y'all ever had cable? What was the quality of your service when your provider was guaranteed a spot in your house? Watching the games decide the outcome was a fun run in college football. Now we have a committee deciding who they think is more likely to win instead of letting on field performances bear out, and commissioners and presidents behind them saying why should anyone else even had a spot at the table, we paid more so we should have more guaranteed spots.
I don’t think it’s out of the tell of possibility that a 9 or 10 seed goes on a run and wins a championship. And then when that happens every playoff spot will be that much more coveted
In the first 10 years of the expanded playoff, do we truly think that a 5-12 seed won’t win any Chips? The more higher seeds succeed in the coming years, the more the regular season will matter.
Been watching CFB since 1985. Never thought more than 4 teams deserved to play for the title in any season. Plenty of those undeserving teams were good enough to win a title but at some point lost a key game. You give the elite teams more chances to win a title and they will. Does "Any given Saturday" still apply? CFB reg season losses certainly won't be as bitter but the wins won't be anywhere near as sweet considering you may have to beat that team again or a third time.
The auto bid for the FBS teams is a joke😂 what if the ranked not inside the top 25 or have 4 or 5 losses they auto get the last spot lmfao what a joke. When we know if they played in a Power 5 conference they would have 6 or 7 losses
CFB is like the WWE now. All fixed for television ratings. The networks officially run the table now, and they'll bend over backwards to put an 8-4 "brand name" in over a 10-2 conference championship game loser. Watch.
They would not put an 8-4 Alabama in over a 10-2 Missouri that lost the conference championship. Even though espn and fox are corrupt they know they can’t get away with that
I 100% disagree, I much prefer the expanded playoff (even with the automatic bids, which I'm not a fan of) to the BCS era, if you aren't rated in the top 5 in the preseason and don't go undefeated, 95% of schools have no shot. And that's garbage.
6 SEC teams is highly unlikely. In order for this to happen, the 5 next best teams in the SEC, besides the conference champ, have to have better records than the Notre Dame, and the 2nd and 3rd best teams in BIG10 and the ACC. Notre Dame, the BIG10 runner-up, and the ACC runner-up are all probably getting in. Even if two of them are in, it's impossible for 6 SEC teams to get in. My guess is: SEC: 4 (Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Ole Miss) BIG10: 3 (Ohio St, Oregon, Penn St OR Michigan) ACC: 2 (Florida St and Miami OR Clemson) BIG 12: 1 (Utah) IND: 1 (Notre Dame) G5: 1 (Boise St)
