Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I want to expand the playoffs in such a way that there is a definite route for teams to play their way in.  Having 8 teams with 5 or 6 autobids plus two committee choices makes some sense.  The most unsatisfying part of the playoffs is the uncertainty teams face on getting in.  

I voted grad transfers...

I agree with ELA that I think the CFP is the start of a good thing. I've hashed out my reasoning for why you should either have a real playoff or a mythical "beauty pageant" national champion, but that the current 4-team playoff (and the 2-team BCS before that) isn't large enough to be a real playoff and still ends up being too subjective. 

Likewise, I feel like a lot of the restrictions on players transferring are mostly along the lines of "we think X or Y might not be good for the sport, so we'll punish the players if they try to do it rather than the programs". I think the grad transfer rule helps to avoid that, even if it ends up having some of the ill effects that ELA mentions. After all, we want these players to be student athletes. Someone comes in, does exactly what we want them to do [graduate with a degree] and then we're going to restrict them from transferring when they want to further their education with grad school? That's completely contrary to what's best for the players, and hypocritical to boot. So I'm happy to see that one go.

Yes, I'm voting based on what is best for me as a fan.  I have zero problem with the rule, and don't think it should go anywhere.  Just as a fan of the sport I don't like what has happened on the basketball side.

I voted CFP.  I think it is an enormous change.  Part of that might be that I am a helmet-team fan so the NC is my primary focus.  We don't need to rehash the entire playoff debate in this thread but I'll just restate my underlying issue:

It is axiomatic that the more teams that get into the playoff, the less important individual regular season games are.  If we go to eight the P5 Champions will almost certainly get auto-bids.  My issue with that is that it makes OOC games essentially irrelevant to the NC race.  I remember watching a very good Ohio State team that I thought could contend for a NC lose at home to Texas in 2005.  It sucked because that one loss basically ended Ohio State's NC hopes but that is what makes individual games in CFB so intense.  

Each and every loss should feel damning, whether it ends up being so or not.  An 8-team playoff will make everyone's first loss unimportant.  That should not be the reaction to a loss - a shrug.  

Keep expanding the playoff and you will have the NFL-lite.  No thanks.  2 was perfect.
