Wait what?

Fake news, I can’t believe this for a second. Every conference in the country agreed to this nonsense?

It will be straight seeding moving forward most likely

I hope they at least eliminate the five-conference-championship requirement. Still, I think the playoff should be required to take one representative from each of the four Power Four conferences (but not necessarily the conference champ) and reserve one spot for the Group of Five. If that system were in place this year, both Miami and Notre Dame would have made the field.

They can’t kill the G5 auto bid for antitrust? Not saying they’ll shun them out, they’ll just make it the 4 highest rated conference champs instead of 5.

Expanding to 16 and fixing the tie breakers for the p4 fixes the issue. Had UVA played Miami or GT the winner would have been ahead of JMU and likely Tulane even if it wasn’t Miami.

Hate ND as much as I hate the Jets, Patriots, Bills, Knicks, etc.

**** their entire program.

Unfortunately, it is very much real

The committee will rank them 12th or 13th until the last week then drop them to 13 or 14 and laugh in their face.

 

[bacane]

Expanding to 16 solves nothing. SEC will push for 7-8 teams & ultimately 2-3 teams will have feelings hurt even with 16 slots.

SIAP

I don’t expect us to be a bubble team next year, so it won’t affect us. Still, **** them

They can if they kill all auto bids. Just have the 16 highest ranked teams go. Everyone then is treated the same.

But it IS antitrust if you say only P4 teams get auto bids.

 

[BishopEli]

It’s gonna be that or they’re killing the G5 auto bid.

Give the G5 their own playoff and do play in games for everyone not in a conference championship. Basically Gruden’s idea plus the G5 separation. They get their own show, added revenue from TV, etc. and play the games on the off weeks of the P4 playoff.

Makes too much sense.

Exactly, could even add relegation to make it extra interesting... top two teams in each conference or the semi final teams replace the bottom team in each top tier conference

 

[NC_Canes_11]

How sure are we It’s not gonna go to 16 next year?

[bdcane4eva]

Conf champs too... buckle up

 

[1mg of Epi]

How is this even allowed???

it’s back room and underhanded. What else would you expect.

 

[Memnon]

The more you expand it, the less it will matter.

If everybody gets in, then there's no reason to even try to win games in the regular season.

Pretty soon, people will be arguing about how 7-5 Clemson got screwed.

 

[jtwist89]

This makes no sense. How is this legal? How can other teams agree to this? They have a cupcake schedule this year. So what? Start next season ranked high, blow out cupcakes, split 1 with us and overrated USC and get in playoffs? Gtfoh

7-5 is wild. But you’re right.

I think it should stay at 12 and get rid of these meaningless conference games.

But the best 12.. non power 4, sorry go start your own playoffs and championship games.

 

[pyhooya]

MOU????? Ask the Gaytors how those work.................

 

[chrisRMNU]

pretty easy problem to fix. If you are planning on putting them at 11, then just rank them 13 on the final rankings and the MOU is useless.

 

[Canesfan1899]

That’s a bull**** clause for a bull**** program. Join a ******* conference you cry babies
