They have been wanting to move up for years now but there isnt a conference expanding to take them in and they have already said they do not want to be in the Sun Belt.

Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas

Pac-16 - Arizona, Arizona State, USC, UCLA, Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor
Stanford, Cal, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State

MAC - Ohio, Buffalo, Kent State, Akron, James Madison, Charlotte, ODU, Liberty
Toledo, Bowling Green, WMU, EMU, CMU, Ball State, Northern Illinois, Miami(OH)

The 3 teams falling out of FBS football is New Mexico State, Coastal Carolina and UMASS

2. Make a 12 team playoff. 8 Champions and then the next 4 highest ranked non conference champions. Next rank the team 1-12 with the top for ranked teams getting first round byes. Then 5-12, 6-11, 7-10, 8-9 all play against each other either at campus sites or neutral sites. These games will be played the weekend after the Heisman ceramony. The winners will play 1-4 with 1 playing the lowest ranked winner and 4 playing the highest ranked winner. These 4 games will be played at BCS bowl sites(Rose, Peach, Orange, Cotton), the week of Christmas. The winners will play semi-final games at the other 2 BCS bowl sites(Orange, Sugar) NYE weekend. The winners will then play for the championship at a Neutral site a week later.

In no universe should four of those conferences have a guaranteed spot in the playoff, they are absolute trash conferences that will be the non conference door mats for the other 4. The best team in 3 of them would be like the 12th best team in the SEC at best.

Your vision is stupid, close your eyes.

Remember, people were crying that Nebraska didn’t play someone tougher than Miami in the 84 Orange Bowl, and we know how that went.

College basketball has no issue putting smaller conference champs in the tournament, and football should as well. 9 times out of 10 the smaller team will lose anyway, but when they DO win, it’s good for college athletics. Yes, their path to the playoffs will be easier, but they’d have to win three games against top teams to win the whole thing. Doubtful, but at least they’d have a chance.

Did comparing this to college basketball really seem like an intelligent train of thought in your head before you made this post?

My vision involves a Canes game every Saturday and Sunday where they win every game and topless waitresses bring beer and wings the whole time and I never have to worry about diabetes or heart disease.

Go big or go home.

Can they bring bourbon? I get headaches from beer.

Here's the problem with your and every other scenario like this. You are trying for the Cinderella story. That's why you have 12 teams. It's football, it doesn't happen. Team 12 ain't gonna rise out of nowhere and beat the Alabama's of the world. It's just a giant waste of everyone's time to end up at the same place we end up now. Give up on the basketball style Cinderella story dream.

Most people who want the expanded playoff are fans of teams that know they can finish in the Top 5 - 15 every year.

So, in their mind, they have a shot at the title every year, if they get enough breaks. They want the clean slate the playoff gives.

But the expanded playoffs isn't about the kids. And fans arguing that are lying, or fooling themselves. It's fan selfishness.

Does the status quo seem like a good idea to you? I want a more inclusive playoff, not 2 + 2 SEC.
