I want chaos next week

The spread from #4 to #12 would be enormous. The difference between the top 4 teams in the country and the top 12 is enormous. Don't let this year fool you. Until we see parity on a yearly basis, there is no reason to put in 8 teams to be warm up games before the actual elite teams play each other.

Also -- there is a HUGE difference between basketball and football from a physical stand point, so while adding games is what fans would love to see -- I'm not sure how feasible it is for the players. Before long -- you are going to have kids playing 16, 17, 18 game seasons in college.

Nah. Not when comped to number 1

Do you think UGA vs Cincy would be a dramtically different spread than UGA vs Michigan St??

It wouldnt be. Not at all

As I said -- You can't use this year, as the elite programs are not this year for the first time in like a decade (Bama, OSU, Clemson, Oklahoma, etc)

This year is an outlier, not the norm.

Disagree. Most years the dufference between 1 and 4 is far bigger than the difference between 4 and 12
 
I want an expanded playoff mostly for the fact that a lot of good players on a team not in the playoffs sit out their bowl game to be ready for the NFL. Waters down the rest of bowl season.

I don't see how the first two = chaos. Pac is out regardless, and there's a chance both SECCG teams are in regardless.

Those chances have come down as Alabama has looked bad the last 3 weeks. They might need to win now.

You can disagree, but it doesn't change the fact, the games would be absolutely pointless. Take last year, for example. Alabama would have played Indiana. The spread would be 28+ for that game. So why even play it?
Ohio State would have played BYU, another game where the spread would be 28+. Clemson would have played Northwestern. Another game the spread would be 28+.

The talent differential between the elite programs and everyone else in CFB is bigger than it has ever been. This year is an outlier to the norm. Plain and simple.

Youre completely missing the point

Expansion isnt about different teams winning the title

Its about adding meaningful games

To the regular seask. And to the first 2 rounds of the playoffs

The same teams will still win most years either way

Same teams will win every year. All it is doing is making them play extra games to get there. Basically, you want to hand out participation trophies to the teams who will never sniff the CFP, because their best players couldn't care less about a meaningless bowl game, but fans don't like that they are starting to do that.

If they want to go to 8 -- OK. Anything more than 8 is ridiculous. Even with 8 -- you are going to have obnoxious spreads and essentially warm up games.

The COVID year has been an equalizer for talent. Half our starting defense would have graduated last year normally.

It is an equalizer for teams who have solid talent, but not NFL talent or players who may have been drafted late, but stayed to try and improve their draft spot. I know it didn't really help Michigan at all. I think we had one guy who plays that stayed the extra year and he alternates on the OL. I know it isn't helping teams like Ohio State, Bama, Clemson, etc. as their guys are leaving after 3 years.

It could be why it is helping many teams. Sounds like it helped Okie State.

It doesn't matter if Georgia beat Bama. You aren't getting in over ND, you aren't getting in over Cincy, you aren't getting in over Okie State, if he goes down that far. Just isn't happening. That loss to Stanford is one of the worst losses for any ranked team this year.

It is very very unlikely it happens, but Oregon isn’t totally out of it yet. If Bama, Michigan, Cincy and junior all lose and assuming Oregon beats Utah Oregon at 10 would jet up quite possibly to the top 4 with that conference champ on its resume. It’s not over for them to get into this but it’s very very unlikely.

That loss to Stanford kills all their chances. Winning their conference isn't erasing a loss to a 3 win Stanford.

I get that but they’d have a conference champ to their resume, an extra win then a few teams ahead of them and they’d likely jump all in front of them that lost except maybe bama. Like I said, it’s likely not happening but it’d be interesting to see what the committee would do if that shit happened.

They won't have an extra win, because they already have the two losses and the two losses were BAD. One to a terrible team and the other getting absolutely blown out.

So all the win would do is give them the same amount of wins as the other teams you mentioned.
