Big 10 Proposes A…. 28 Team Playoff?

[HeuperDrive]

just when you thought things couldn’t get any more stupid, the B1G hits us with this from the top rope. This has to be the worst proposal for the CFP ever presented.

8-4 Minnesota playing 7-5 South Carolina is definitely what we want in the CFP!

12 is plenty

ESPN says <drool dripping from their mouth> "We think this idea has some merit" as they start getting whiffs of money........

I’ll always say it should have been 8 teams, but agreed. 28 teams is just a pure cash grab.

This proposal is just asinine. Had this been the model for last season, then 7-5 Baylor, 8-4 Louisville, and 7-5 Michigan would’ve made the playoff. Why even bother with playing the regular season at that point?

Terrible idea but i expect this will happen in a few years i think eventually it will be 32 teams. I miss the BCS.

I have the same fear. I fully expect there to be a B1G-SEC super league in the next 10-15 years. I think whenever Clemson and Florida State make the jump out of the ACC is when we cross the Rubicon.

I truly hate where this sport seems to be headed.

Same here. Money and greed ruin everything doesn’t it? I grew up watching college football in the 80’s and 90’s and that was the best era of college football ever imo and we are never going back to that time. The people that claim they love the sport seem to be hell bent on destroying it.

In some ways, that super league "saves" college football for most schools who won't have the resources and desire to essentially "go pro."

Lots of schools can dial way back on NIL naturally because the money really isn't there for the school to invest in athletics and we might see a general return of normal athletics overall.

Schools like UT are doomed, most likely, to get sucked into pro sports.

16 like FCS should be the absolute ceiling.
Seed the same way. 17 st 1, 15 at 2, etc.

Seems like everything was better in the 80s. 80s music, sports, movies, and common sense.

We have too many now.

FCS uses 24.
But, I agree with not wanting to go that high.

Or people forget a lot of bad stuff like only a handful of games being televised and things like this:

For the first time I'm having difficulty getting excited about the college football season. Conference expansion, transfer portal, N.I.L. & the like have beaten me down. Still...GO VOLS.

Hating on Wham! will not be tolerated.

I still love college football, but the path it's going down at break-neck speed will, in my opinion, make it something that makes it hard for fans to go to the games. I truly hope that is never what it comes to.
