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

They might end up at six, which would be "OK" with me, to the extent that is relevant.

I know some of the UGA teams ranked 5-8 simply were not all that good, no chance to beat a real team aside from a TO fiasco event.

Out of curiosity, which UGA teams in particular?

I only ask because the spots right outside the big ones tend to be weird moving targets.

Anything with byes is unacceptable to me. Powers of two only, please and thank you.

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

I agree.

I would even rather go to 12, with 10 auto-bids.  Just to have a reason to care about mid-major conference races.  Then those 4 other Go5 champs get slaughtered in a true road game that first week.  And if once every few years a 9-12 beats the worst P5 champ, or a Big XII runner-up, before losing in the quarterfinals anyway, does that really matter?

I do think to get to this the current conference structure needs to be drastically changed.  You can't have a team sneak into a CCG after an 8-4 (5-3) type season, based on tiebreakers to win a 3 way tie, and then pull one upset.

That will never happen, but what if you got rid of divisions, then saved the final week for 1 vs. 2, 3 vs. 4, etc...  Don't even call it a conference championship.  Just call it the final regular season game.  If the #1 team is somehow 2 games clear of the field, cool for them.  But it will generally be a de facto championship game.  Granted if those teams already played, and the reverse team won the second time, then you clear H2H tiebreaker, and that could lead to it not being a conference championship.

But either way, if you are going to guarantee that the top two teams play, I'm ok letting that winner in no matter what.

Needs to be 8 teams

5 from P5

3 at large

I bet in a couple weeks someone writes an article about how this was not real, beyond some discussion by a few folks on the side, not serious.

While there are cases where anonymous witnesses, particularly with substantiating evidence, are valuable.  Just saying "sources say" with zero accountability has jumped the shark years ago

People are now getting their news from twitter and it's far, far worse than that.  Zero accountability would be a step up for twitter.
