"PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS? YOUR TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFFS?" :crazy:

Personaly I like the idea of a playoff system. We would get a "somewhat" true champ then.

I just think its too many games for college kids, besides all the controversy is part of the fun.

Sure, we'd have a true champ, but we turn the season meaningless. Want to see UT pull its starters every year against all the lesser-teams? Won't matter about the streak over Kentucky...gotta protect the starters for next week's playoff. Axe all conference championships. Teams will further baby up their schedules so that they are ensured to never lose a non-conference game. Then, who gets in? There's always gonna be controversy over the bottom few spots in the playoff. It adds a ton of games to the system...fans won't pay to see 17 games a year.

I don't think ruining what makes college football college football is worth the benefit of the system.

You mean to say too many games for the kids at D1 schools, where they have a depth chart, unlike every other division of CFB where they have playoffs

Sure I think playoffs are a good ideal.

But their simulated rounds on any scenario are pure
BUNK.I know each round is speculative speculation.
But i totally disagree with the majority of their computer speculations or their ideological picks .

I had Georgia Tech vs UF and USC vs OU in the semi finals, and ended up with a oklahoma vs UF championship game. That whole playoff would be awesome to watch

actually espn has way too many teams listed here,all you need to do is take conference champions(makes all season games mean something) and 2 at large for mac,wac,notre dame(best records in) then start your playoffs in first bowls.end with a true champion. seed them however you want but its an 8 team playoff.

Someday I'm gonna sell this idea too ncaa and be rich lol

If you take conf. champs, I think all conferences should have same number of teams, and divisional playoffs.

A team could play 14 games now (12 in the season, conference championship, bowl). You don't think there is a way to accomodate a playoff in ~14 games?

Playoff.....U D#$ Right I want a playoff.

Until the beauty contest days are over and a win it on the field event occurs, there is no real national champion. So let's quit awarding, naming, and hyping mythical NC's! It's all BS...I mean BCS.

Sure, if they cut some regular season games, then they would have to cut some out of conference rivalries, then where are the games played? If it were on neutral fields it then would take away money from the universities home games. On top of that some of the small colleges would never get extra money from the bowls because they would get manhandled if they did make it to the playoff. Only the top universities would benefit if at all.

I don't any of this would happen with an eight team playoff. Getting into that that top eight would require an all-out effort all season long. As for extra games, two teams would play one extra game and two would play an extra two games.

To much money will be lost as well will anyone show up for the middle round games if they have to travel across country to watch a game then travel hundreds of miles for the next game.

All this "money lost" talk is silly. The argument is based on the assumption that despite the bowl system not being in place, the bowl payout system remains the same. Of course it would be changed to be more fair. As it is now, small schools that hardly ever make a bowl are losing out on all the money. If you changed the system to share the income throughout Division I, much in the way conferences already do, it would be a more equitable system than the current one.

And the idea that MORE hype wouldn't be generated via a playoff... Well how much hype is being generated outside of Florida and Oklahoma?

I have wondered if the numbers for the middle games would be the same as the current system. I might be wrong but that will mean many more dollars coming out of people pockets for the extra games. Sports pubs will love it.

Mine had Alabama and USC in the nat. champ, with Bama winning. It had Penn State beating Florida
