Bleacher Report says 12 team CFP gaining momentum
« on: April 29, 2021, 04:23:21 PM »
Ugh.

I've long since resigned myself to the idea the expansion from the current four team model is inevitable but I was hoping that they would maintain at least some of the "every game matters" feel in the regular season. A 12 team playoff would likely eliminate that completely. 

Looking at the last pre-pandemic season, here are the final CFP rankings:

  • 13-0 LSU, SEC Champ 
  • 13-0 tOSU, B1G Champ 
  • 13-0 Clemson, ACC Champ 
  • 12-1 Oklahoma, B12 Champ 
  • 11-2 UGA
  • 11-2 Oregon, PAC Champ 
  • 11-2 Baylor 
  • 10-3 Wisconsin 
  • 10-2 Florida 
  • 10-2 PSU
  • 11-2 Utah
  • 9-3 Auburn
  • 10-2 Bama
  • 9-3 Michigan 
  • 10-2 Notre Dame 
  • 9-3 Iowa
  • 12-1 Memphis, AAC Champ 
  • 10-2 Minnesota 
  • 12-1 Boise St, MWC Champ 
  • 12-1 ApSt, SunBelt Champ 
  • 10-3 Cincy
  • 8-4 USC
  • 9-2 Navy
  • 9-4 UVA
  • 8-4 OkSU

If it's a 10-2 model, it's really no different than an 8 team playoff.  You are just throwing a bone to all conference champs, which would actually make more games matter, while likely never impacting the final 4, and almost never impacting the final 8

If you are talking a bunch of at large teams, then yeah, you are killing the every game matters

Not really because there isn't another one.

It would be ridiculous to include all of the tallest midgets while excluding really good teams like Wisconsin and Florida. 

I hate it in BB and at least there the teams that get screwed over a middling major conference teams. In a 10+2 you'd be screwing a Wisconsin team that finished 10-3 but had to play tOSU twice and a 10-2 Florida team whose losses were to #1 LSU and #5 UGA to include teams that UW's and UF's backups could wipe the floor with.

Top 12....let's see, a third of them are from the SEC in a "down" year for Bama. 
No mid-majors.
A couple of 3-loss teams that can get hot or face a team with a key injury.
.
Yeah, that's a great plan, everyone will love it.  Let's be bored from August-December and all jerk off after New Year's!

LSU vs Wiscy/Fla winner
.
OSU vs Baylor/PSU winner
.
Clem vs Oregon/Utah winner
.
OU vs UGA/Auburn winner
.
So let me get this right.  We could have a 2nd rd rematch, another 2nd rd rematch, a 1st rd rematch, and then a 2nd rd rematch?  SIGN ME UP!

I thought they'd try six, then eight before twelve, which leads me to suspect that it will include the Mac and Sunbelt champs.

All conference champs plus at large to fill it out would be awesome. Just the committee picking more teams based on recruiting rankings would be a lot less awesome.

Why do you actively support completely screwing your school and all schools like it to include vastly inferior crappy tallest midgets?

In this case, ensures closer to every game mattering.

:)

(I don't actually actively support it. I think eight would be just peachy. Four is weird and a little ragged to me. Though honestly, I mostly just try to appreciate CFB seasons for what they are, which seems to be something a lot of folks have little to no interest in doing)
