Come end of season will we see every starter sits games?

Miami still has a schedule spot open for anybody who wants that free smoke

Death of the best regular season in sports. Sad day for college football as we know it.

Forgive me if this has already been posted, but…
With conferences openly discussing playoff realignment, two very different ideas are being floated:
Big Ten proposal:

• No conference championship games
• Top 4 teams from each conference qualify
• Week 1: conference “play-in” games
• Week 2: national seeding begins

SEC proposal:

• Keep the conference championship game
• Conference champion gets automatic playoff bid
• Remaining spots filled at-large

Give me the BIG 10 ideal, all day.

BigTen's deal is better

End of the season oftentimes are rivalry games so highly unlikely; and every program wants the best path to a title:

1. Bye weeks (top 8 seeds)

2. Home games (9 thru 16)

3. Not fall out of the playoffs altogether (17 thru 24)

There is a possibility that the 24 vs 12 makes it so teams stop being scared to schedule tougher regular season games. That's a hope anyways

welcome to sleepy ***, doesn’t matter if you lose much NFL games.

Miami will be a top 25 team for a long time. Every year game in game out we’ll be playing for seeding.

Good thought, I’d like for you to be right

Who cares about the big matchup if they schedule it?

Texas and Ohio State play week one, whats to lose? If they both implode and end up not being a top 24 team down the line? Game loses an enormous amount of juice if seeding is the only thing at stake

One format floating around...

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Well we were 10 seed last year. Just sayin

What do seeds have to do with 8 teams? There were approximately 3 teams last year that could’ve won the title. Miami, Indiana, OSU. Nobody else had the personnel or depth to win 3-4 games in the playoff.

 

[CalmBTheStorm]

I think 16 teams would’ve been the sweet spot.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Coaches love it. More can say "we made the playoffs"

I think at this point I might opt to go back to the BCS or the AP/UPI days

This is the right answer. Fans didn’t want it. TV money didn’t push for it, bc with cancelling conf champ games, money isn’t that much better.

It’s all about coaches and athletic departments having something to sell to donors. “We made the playoffs bc of your money. Donate more and we can have a chance to win it all.”

Lot of wear and tear on these guys over 3/4 years. Will the NFL care about that?

The do or die high stakes regular season games is what made the sport special. Now if you lose its just 'were on to Cincinnati '. F*** this

The only teams will schedule fun OOC games is if the conferences have schedule agreements

Think about it, every single regular season game Ohio State plays the next 100 years will be for seeding. It’s worse than NFL regular season

IMO only a positive for Miami
