Should be 8 teams no more than 8. 12 teams is too many and we know most of the teams in this new expanded playoff will get blown out by Bama , Georgia and Ohio St yearly in the playoff

Yea the big ten is clearly sick of the SEC winning it every year well that won’t change by expanding the playoff, Bama , Georgia will countinue to dominate the playoff and Ohio St. will continue to choke.

Last years Ole Miss team would have made the playoffs if it would have been 12 teams. Lane Kiffin offense is dangerous for any team outside the SEC. I like a 12 team playoff as more players will play longer and not opt to sit out last couple games to prep for NFL.

I really don’t care if there are only 4, 6, or 8 “deserving” teams. That debate is not one I’m interested in. This expansion unequivocally will make it easier for Tennessee to make the playoffs, which as a Tennessee fan is the only thing I care about. I’m all for it.

Good point. And perhaps a team like the 85 Vols could come up big. But generally there’s only a handful of teams that are legitimate contenders. An upset is certainly possible and will happen on occasion.

This is probably a good thing for college football as a whole, as far as keeping things interesting for more people and not just having more of the SEC invitational. Here's the last 24 years broken up into 3 separate eight-year periods.

1999-2006 BCS: SEC places 2 of the 16 teams to make the title game, wins 2 of the 8 titles (1999 Tennessee, 2004 LSU)
2007-2014 BCS: SEC places 9 of the 16 teams to make the title game, wins 7 of the 8 titles (2007 Florida, 2008 LSU, 2009 Florida, 2010 Alabama, 2011 Auburn, 2012 Alabama, 2013 Alabama, 2014 Auburn)
2015-2022 CFP: SEC places 10 of the 32 teams to make the playoffs, wins 5 of the 8 titles (2016 Alabama, 2018 Alabama, 2020 LSU, 2021 Alabama, 2022 Georgia)

I haven't read any of the articles yet but I would guess if it goes to 12 teams, that means at least at least eight more shots a year for a not-SEC team to win it. Still have to win on the field, but everyone has good and bad days. I bet over time we win more like 1/3 of them this way, instead of more than half.

They will now because all the top recruits go to Bama/UGA/Ohio St/etc since they know that only 4 teams have a shot. Have to consider the possibility that when you could feasibly win a championship by not going to those teams, there could be better parity, which would be great!

Agreed

This is all that matters to me.

In all likelihood it will slowly close the talent gap between the top 20 teams and end the dynasties. Not gonna happen quickly but imo it will happen.

8 was the number. 12 is a bit much but at least it’s not 16. That would of been awful

That gives us just enough time to beef up the talent a bit more.
