The main thing I dislike about the new 12 team format is the byes for the top four teams. These four teams, will be the same ones that go to the playoff most years, they don’t need the help of a bye. These teams already have huge advantages over the rest of the playoff field, so why make the playoff non competitive? The top four teams are going to win the playoff every single year into the forseeable future. It’s great to include more teams from around the country (although there are going to be too many SEC teams, for the appearance of fairness) to keep more of the college football nation involved for longer. The bye makes it so the top four teams, are even more of prohibitive favorites than they are currently (no accident that we keep seeing the same teams). My team would benefit from these byes, but it is bad for the sport, in that it makes the playoff lack competitiveness.

I waffle on that, I wonder if #5 playing #12 in a tune up game is not an advantage.  The 1-4 teams will be coming off a long wait.  This of course is offset by injuries and wear and tear.  OTH, UGA has been #5 a few times with a team I thought "not ready for Deaon Sanders".

I love how taking someone at face value just isn't an option, lol. 
Oh, I'm taking him at face value. 

But that's why I called it helmetsplaining.

If you want to know whether G5 teams want access to the playoff, why don't you ask G5 coaches, players, and athletic directors?

In other shocking news, the Fox claims he's "Okay" with being offered position as Hen-house guard.

Since we've gone to 12 regular season games + CCG + playoffs, I have held the scholarship numbers need to be expanded.  There are going to be more injuries and players with too many reps.  When the scholarship limits were introduced in 1973, the season was 11 games.

Third stringers?  I suspect some headliners with big NILs will be asked to pay their own way to free up space for more kids on a 'ship.

Alabama had a starting QB a few years back NOT on scholarship.  He had wealthy parents who were major donors.

This is a tweak on that.

Ricky Williams was a walk-on at Texas.  Had his own money from playing professional baseball.

Yeah, even an academic scholarship counts.  I got cut from the UGA freshman BBall team because I had one.

yup, that doesn't fly

but, if you just have money from your parents or a booster or NIL, that's fine????  seems odd
