SI Says 12 Team Playoff Likely w/ 6 At-Large
« on: June 09, 2021, 12:12:13 AM »
5 P5
1 G5
6 At-Large
So basically the top 7-8 teams (if they're helmet programs or close), start every season with a mulligan.  FUN.  
.
So what would this have looked like in 2020?
Well, with 12 teams, the top 4 get a bye (I'm assuming):
P5 champs:  Alabama, OU, Ohio St, Clemson, Oregon (sort of)
G5 highest-ranked:  Cincinnati
Next 6 at-large by ranking:  ND, A&M, Florida, Georgia, Iowa St, Indiana
All 12 teams, seeded:
1 - Alabama
2 - Clemson
3 - Ohio St
4 - ND
5 - Texas A&M
6 - OU
7 - Florida
8 - Cincinnati
9 - Georgia
10 - Iowa St
11 - Indiana
12 - Oregon
.
First Round:
8 - Cincinnati 
9 - Georgia...........winner plays 1 Alabama
-------------------
5 - Texas A&M
12 - Oregon..........winner plays 4 ND
-------------------
6 - OU
11 - Indiana..........winner plays 3 Ohio St
-------------------
7 - Florida
10 - Iowa St..........winner plays 2 Clemson

Well, no G5 team is going to luck into any kind of NC with this setup.  Face 3 LEGIT big-boy teams in a row, with everything on the table....good luck.  
.
They're no longer going to have a chance to pick them off in disappointed consolation bowls.

2019:
P5 champs:  LSU, Ohio St, OU, Oregon, Clemson
G5 top team: 17th-ranked Memphis
At-Large:  Georgia, Baylor, Wisconsin, Florida, Penn St, Utah
.
First Round: 
8 Wisconsin
9 Florida...............winner plays 1 LSU
.
5 Georgia
12 Memphis...........winner plays 4 OU
.
6 Oregon
11 Utah.................winner plays 3 Clemson
.
7 Baylor
10 Penn St.............winner plays 2 Ohio St
.
Cool, so in this scenario, we'd get Oregon vs Utah in two straight games.  That's fun. 
Wisconsin lost to OSU twice, so I guess the Buckeyes only have to beat them a third time if both make it to the NCG. 
LSU beat Florida in a relatively close game, so their reward is playing the Gators again, but not at home (assuming). 
Ohio St possibly gets to play Penn St again.......ohhhhhh, this is going to lead to sooooo many rematches, guys. 
.
Honestly, pretend you're Coach O, and you're given this playoff bracket.  You basically have a 50/50 shot at having 2 rematches on your way to a possible NC. What's the point of a regular season?  This turns it into college basketball.

After all of us lose interest in college football, this board just becomes one long Stream of Unconsciousness?

Bummer, in my view, going after TV revenue now to produce a "playoff champion", which on occasion will be a 7 seed.

Nobody past 6 in my opinion "deserves" a shot, we're going to have 4 loss CG winners invited.

We'll talk about food and boats.  Sounds good to me.

Some of our other discussions get pretty good I think, not surprisingly.

I won't lose all interest in CFB of course, for a while.  A deeper issue longer term is the brain damage part.  In 20 years or so, we may be looking at flag football or the like.

I don't think that will happen.

But I hate the idea of having this many at larges.

actually, pretty good matchups.  Better than the bowl pairings?

not much different than the bowls, except with a win, you get a shot at knocking off a top 4 team.

2 at-large would be better, with an 8-team playoff
