Based on all the crap going on with the portal, teams being left out, etc. here is what I think is likely to happen in the future"

1. The season will start with what we know refer to as Week 0. This pulls the schedule a week ahead.
2. Rivalry weekend will be the week before Thanksgiving.
3. Thanksgiving will be Conference Champ weekend.
4. The CFP will go to 14 teams, which means 6 home games in the first round.
5. Those games will be played the second weekend of December (this past weekend) which is the last weekend the NFL doesn't play on Saturdays. Next week, the CFP games will compete with the NFL on Saturday.

Here is where it gets squirrely ...

6. The second round - 4 games - are played the following week, on campus. This gets you down to your final 4 teams.
7. The NY6 Bowls get the 2 semi-finals as they have in the past, in a rotation.
8. The final game is played 1 or 2 weeks later. They have to get it done earlier than the 20th of January.

Bonus thought: The other NY6 Bowls could get teams that lose in the first round. I am just throwing that out there, but that would be 3 weeks later. Why not?

This format means that all teams will be done playing and fully in the portal by the end of the season except the 4 final teams. That's just what happens when you are good. Maybe that helps parity.

Thoughts.
 
TLDR
 
Who really knows

There is a logical way to approach things... and then there is what these tards in charge actually do

More home games in the playoff and moving the season up seem good to me. 12 teams if fine, if they want to do 14 or 16 I dont really gaf. Can't go above 16 though.

- 14 is kind of cool - then you get 6 home games, and only 2 byes.
- 16 is great, but you have to eliminate conference championship games if you do that, IMO.
- Having conference championships on Thanksgiving is cool ... the NFL games on Thanksgiving are typically suck games.

The portal timing is more related to the academic calendar. You simply have to give kids a chance to move on before Winter/Spring Semester/Quarter starts. That's normally between Jan 6-14. So you can't push it beyond those first 2 rounds of games.

Sounds good to me...but you know I'm all for on campus games more than bowl games. (I've really enjoyed watching the FCS playoffs at their home fields.)

And something needs to be done regarding the transfer portal timing. And moving things a week or two earlier is probably the most conducive to that. Moving the spring enrollment to a later date ain't going to happen.

Yeah, moving forward means that all teams except the final 4 would be done by mid-December.
 
sark said in his presser earlier today that he think the Spring session gets sacraficed.. where instead of practices leading up to a Spring game.. it goes more towards an NFL model with OTAs with the portal opening afterwards..

Huge blow to ou who won't be able to nickel and dime their fans for a spring game..
