With so much playoff talk and how broken the system is, I would like to see a playoff where you start out with a “conference championship” tourney of the top 4 teams from each conference and they have a tourney within the conference as to who will be that conference’s representative.
After that you have a 8 team playoff of the 8 highest ranked conference championship winners/particpators (5+3 model imo) top 4 highest ranked conference CHAMPIONS are guaranteed home field for Round one
if we go by ranking for this year (and presume that the highest ranked champion wins the conference championship)
1. Ohio state
2. Texas A&M
3. Texas Tech
4. Miami
5. Indiana
6. UGA
7. BYU
8. Tulane
Conference tourney for P4 would look like this:
ACC:
1. UVA Vs 4. Miami
2. Pitt Vs 3. SMU
SEC:
1. Texas A&M Vs 4. Alabama
2. UGA Vs 3. Ole Miss
Big10:
1. Indiana Vs 4. Michigan
2. Ohio State Vs 3. Oregon
Big12:
1. Texas Tech Vs 4. Arizona State
2. BYU Vs 3. Utah
The tourney would also help teams play MORE of their teams within the conference, especially now that teams have 17-18 teams in a conference.
This would also help instill more of a “rivalry” feel to some more conference games in the tourney. It also takes away any potential controversy on teams being excluded from the playoffs. Maybe when the final 3 at large teams (because the other 2 eligible at large teams wouldn’t be selected) but that’s also right after they lost a game ? So I doubt those arguments would be strong.
Each team would need to play 4 extra games (16 total) in Order to win the championship.
Also change it back to 8 conference games and have the P4 go to a 2+2 model and each P4 team would have 2 P4 opponents assigned to them based on the previous years conference standings (like what the NFL does for scheduling teams) make it how CBB has the Big10/SEC challenge and just change it to “P4 challenge” that ALSO removes a lot of ranking controversy between conferences. Many more common opponents.
Revenue wise you can reward conferences that get 2 teams in the field a bit more and also whichever conference wins the championship as well. Which I actually think should be the one of the bigger revenue movers. I also think that would install more conference pride in general for fan bases.
This would however force ND to join a conference to become eligible for the playoffs.
Legitimately what could someone complain about in this format ?
Anyways I think we get the results we need in the ACC and we make the championship and get an AQ. Go Canes
