All the grandpas are mad
I hated the old way. Preseason rankings carried too much leverage well into the season. Bias is real, and it would often rear its ugly head. Personally, I wanted an 8 team playoff. That more than covers any team that should be in contention for a title. This still makes every game important, because if you lose at the wrong time, you could be out. I don't want a larger field, full of teams that just don't belong. That indeed makes the regular season less important.It's not going there, but there's always a constant urge to expand playoffs further. The sport used to be unique because early season games really ******* mattered, everyone seems to want to trade the entire regular season for a few weeks at the end. So much has changed at this point I dont even really give a **** anymore though. Just win
But Miami doesn’t have an on campus stadium, so…If they don’t put games on higher seeded campuses then this is even more soulless than I gave them credit for. It’s the most natural win in the history of things expanding.
So are the 2019 Canes. And we would’ve gotten destroyed as well
that puts a monkey wrench, are they eliminating conference championship games? and just taking regular season?I think I read them saying top 6 conference champs and 6 at large
Will there even be 6 decent conferences by then??
I respect that, but personally I cant think of one time a team ranked outside of the top 4 could have been deserving of a National championship based on their seasons body of work.I hated the old way.

That’s the only way they’d make the regular season mean somethingSo is it 1-4 get first round byes?
5-12
6-11
7-10
8-9
think it would be interesting.
IF it laid out that way.
I kind of think that Utah and MSU would have made some noise. Not sure what Cinci would have done.That’s the only way they’d make the regular season mean something
Absolutely true. There never has been. However, we have seen several teams get hot at the end of the year and could have potentially won it all if they had the chance. We just never saw them get the chance, so we don't know how it could have gone. Expand it a bit and let's find out.I respect that, but personally I cant think of one time a team ranked outside of the top 4 could have been deserving of a National championship based on their seasons body of work.
Man I don't know if I like that..Saw this graphic posted about how a 12 team playoff would've looked last year.
