Haha. I'm not sure I'm going to live past the 3rd tailgate THIS year.

I'd actually argue that on a broad scale the regular season will INCREASE in value. Conference championships will now be more important than ever and you'll have 20+ teams having very meaningful regular season games all the way to the conclusion of the season. You absolutely can make the case...

There's no perfect model and I was always in favor of only letting the committee determine 3 at-larges (or 2 if you're giving an autobid to a G5 team) in an 8 team format. The reason this IS an improvement though is because you ARE injecting at least SOME important objectivity into the process...

Apparently the latest 12 team proposal would give 4 byes to the highest ranked conference winners so at least we'd avoid the SEC getting two of them. I still like 8 as the overall number better but the competitive disadvantage of a conference receiving more than one bye AND getting to play...

Like I said, I'll always be a proponent of the 8 team model but I'm also fine with this. It eliminates my concern about the SEC getting more than 1 bye AND sticks it to Notre Dame. Just pleeeeease never expand it beyond 12 teams.

I'll die on the hill that the 8 team Playoff is the best option. 5 conference winners + 3 at-larges. NO byes that would be automatically slotted to at least 2 SEC teams per year.
