I suspect we will rarely see the NC being from a team without a bye.


10%, once each decade?

I think this could happen

if the Huskers (go ahead and laugh) are a great team and capable of winning a MNC, then I want them to get the bye, rest up and take their best shot at winning 2 games.

if they don't seem capable w/o some luck and unlikely, then give me the home game in Lincoln

I

A team with a CG will have the possibility of playing 16 games:
  • 12 regular season
  • 1 CCG
  • 1 quarter-final
  • 1 semi-final
  • 1 National Championship. 
If you are accepting that, why not have every playoff team in this boat rather than just 2/3 of them.  As much as I oppose expanding the number of teams, I think I might choose 16 over 12.  IMHO, 12 makes no sense at all. 

16 only if they get a bye, 17 if they don't.

It's a shame that we're letting entertainment value getting the way of solving important world issues

It's going to be a massive disaster and lead to the end of western civilization as we know it.

I guess I can move to eastern civilization. I don’t think I would make a very good warlord, but skill development is important, so maybe I’ll figure it out here

I think I'd do well with acupuncture, that's big in the East, isn't it?

I'm pretty easy going, obviously, so I'm not going to get hot and b'thered by it, but I suspect we'll have some unintended consequences.

And of course whoever is 13th will complain.

Have we considered the impact on the bowl games, the more important but below top variants like Cap One, or whatever it is today?

I guess they didn't matter that much anyway.  What will likely be the "best" bowl game now?

The wife has foot numbness and has been seeing one, results so far unclear.

Acupuncture kind of sticks in my craw, as I pointed out before, but it's a prickly subject with the wife if I needle her about it.
