I agree with Lanning ...

Agreed. Top 8. No auto bids. Shortens the calendar by one week so there’s less overlap between playoffs and the portal. Move the start of the regular season back another week too and you could finish the season before the portal so players aren’t opting out of playoffs games (Penn St backup QB last year)

Dan Lanning Says What Everyone Is Thinking About The Dragged-Out CFP Schedule

From month-long byes to a mid-January national championship, it's all a little too much.

Miami says hold my beer As how many people argued they didn’t belong.

They just justified the existence of the expanded playoffs. They manhandled tOSU last night And showed the fallacy of the pollsters and CFP committee who looks at W-L not the teams play.

tOSU has played 3 maybe 4 teams with a pulse and lost to 2 of them but the talking heads had them at #2 in nation.

If you don’t want to watch the early rounds don’t. I love them, I just have issues with the beauty pageant teams(G5, ND, Big12, etc..) that get in not the idea of expanded playoffs.

Lmfao if the outcome determines the format, we might as well include all 100+ teams because if you play the games enough a lower seed will always win.

That’s an absurd standard.

I still think P4 conference championships should carry weight but no autobids for G5. No way 2 G5 teams should've got in.

You could make it where the 3 or 4 highest ranked conference champs get an autobid and the rest are at large. I'd rather go back to letting the BCS or similar system pick teams instead of a wishy-washy committee that can't make up their mind on criteria.

If not for expanded playoffs, Miami just knocked off the #2 team that would have been in NC against Indiana.

Miami just exposed the Big 10 that would not have gotten exposed without Expanded playoffs.

Bye teams(higher ranked teams) are 0-5.

There is as many reasons to have an expanded playoff as there is to not have them.

Yeah because we should leave it to the group that moved Ohio State to #2 after losing in their championship game after playing almost no one all year.

100% agree, have been screaming this for years. I believe that everyone with a clue wants this, but the powers that be have made it clear that they don't want to give up the control they have of the process.

If the ND / Miami thing didn't make it clear that this system is rigged, I'm not sure what will do it. The apologists (and ND haters) will rationalize that the outcome is justification, but the entire process was a disgrace with zero accountability or standards. And I am a ND hater.

You can’t expand the playoff every time a lower seed loses. That’s not a valid argument unless you’re promoting a 100+ team playoff.

It’s an absurd stance

There should be several changes

1) The season should start the middle August (2 weeks before Labor Day weekend). Now to be called cupcake weekend

2) the NCAA should allow 1 extra game to be added for each team

3) Bowl games should be moved to Labor Day weekend(Thursday-Monday) except the big bowls that are part of CFP

4) Labor Day bowls should be inter conference agreements and ND and others can make bowl agreements but should be Little10 vs SEC (1vs 1 according to preseason coaches poll, 2 vs 2, etc). ACC vs Big 12. Leaving ND out of big bowls will continue to put vinegar in their coffee

5) season ends Thanksgiving weekend

6) CCG are first week of December

7) CFP starts second week of Dec

8) Semifinals on New years eve

9) finals one week after

10) portal opens after quarter finals and closes 14 days after opening except for teams still in CFP

11) no coaching changes announcements allowed until Jan 1.

Everything Lanning said is right on, especially not ceding Saturdays to the NFL and playing every week until the playoff ends, but he is basing his comments on a coach and team basis while the decisions made are 100% decided by networks, conference suits, and site locations to maximize revenue and ratings.

An 8-team playoff with no byes would clearly be the optimum number, and they could even keep their precious conference title games that way. The only other thing Lanning didn't mention that should be a no-brainer is replacing the corrupt "committee" with some sort of computer algorhythm, but that will obviously never happen.

Nope, the only way forward will be 16 and eventually 24 teams, so the media can stir up debate over what 8-4 teams got 'snubbed'.

Expanding to 12 teams was just awful.

At most, it should have been to 6 with byes or 8 and no byes.

No 9-3 team should ever be remotely close on the bubble to getting in the playoff.

I was for a 6-team playoff if they had to expand beyond 4, but 8 with no byes and no auto bids would be the cleanest way to do it, especially if a computer system was used for rankings.

How To Make Bowl Games More Fun To Watch Than The Playoffs:

During the regular season players get 40% of their pay. Receive the remaining 60% after they play in the bowl games.
Losing bowl team forfeits 10% of their gross NIL pay. Losing coaches forfeit 10% of their gross pay. These monies go to the winning team to be split amongst them. That would be some serious money. You would see the most supreme effort from players and coaches to win their game. Would be the best game of the year.
