12 team playoff

CFP blowouts as expected. Some really want to expand more? Uh ok.
It’s only going to get worse if something isn’t done to level the playing field. Imagine the NFL with no salary cap. The Chiefs would have more star players and Jerry would have a billion dollar roster

I think 8 the right number there is no doubt that if we expand that we will see more blowouts. I don't know why anyone is shocked we have had some because there are blowouts in FCS, D2, D3, and NAIA playoffs every year. It is always going to happen when you have a bigger field.

…and the Cowboys would still underperform. But JJ could brag about having the largest payroll in the league.

We had blowouts during the BCS, Bowl Alliance, Bowl Coalition, and Four Team Playoff era as well.

There’s also plenty of blowouts in the NFL playoffs, MLB, NBA, basically any playoff format. There’s always going to be true contenders and teams that are good but not the real deal. The magic is when the teams that seem like they shouldn’t be there steal a win or two. It may not happen this year, but it’ll happen.

That is what motivates Appalachian the most, we come from the playoff experience, with three national championships to show for it, we come from doing what most thought was impossible, an FCS team beating a ranked FBS team, and once you have been at the top of the mountain anything less is not a compromise, we are willing to make.

Sort of like when you have met the most beautiful person you have ever seen, everyone else seems plain after that, but you know what beauty is possible, so you are never satisfied until you see beauty like that again...

And then there’s the old saying that “beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone."

Whole lot of crickets from the ND doubters.... I say that....but I really think that the bye week screwed the teams. Give me a first round game.

[appdaze]

Make it an even 16 teams for a real playoff. Have bowl games for the rest of the top 25 that didn't make the cut. Eliminate all other bowl games. 6-6 should not be getting a post season.

First round should have been Bowl Games, Top 4 seeds should have been able to host the second round on campus.

6-6 should not be getting a post season? Why?

Simple answer: It’s not a winning record.

Because 6-6 means you aren't a good team. That doesn't deserve a post season spot. That means you scored a 50% on the regular season test. I've watched many of these bowl games over the decades and these lower ones are terrible even when the teams evenly suck. Post season should be reserved foe the best to prove they are the best, not to give the mediocre a pat on the back.

Like you’ve reminded us about a bunch of other things, it’s the money.

[goapps93]

The "post-season" in football is invaluable when it is more rightly considered "pre-season." I will admit it's different now with the portal, but the extra practices for underclassmen go a long way in preparation for the next season. The whole system, however, is going to have to be reconsidered with the new playoff, as it also evolves.

[spacemonkey]

It has to evolve into an NIT (G5 champs and top rated p4's that didn't make CFP) for anyone to care and the money generated from the NIT has to go to the players or they are going to sit. Second level NIT vs bowls.

CIT for G5 teams that want to play more. Top 16 teams not making the CFP or NIT. Probably will cost a school to participate. Should probably have to pay to host the playoff game. I think players would participate in this hoping to impress a p4 school to pay them.

But you forget, everyone deserves a participation trophy now! And everyone is victim!

It’s just the money, the more bowls the better. Although the bowls are quickly becoming meaningless due to the portal and players opting out.

Pretty soon, no one will care.
