I am glad you all like non-playoff "Bowl games" ...


Dec 2, 2021, 6:34 PM

To me, they are games that just suck up bandwidth from Basketball ...

However, if the NCAA adopts my proposal for the new Football Playoff Format, MANY of these Bowl WILL become relevant.

On The Table:
16 Team Playoff, winner of each FBS Conference Auto Bid (10) + 6 wildcard teams. Of course who plays who in initial round is based on ranking 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14 yada yada and yada

16 teams means
8 games first round = 8 bowl sites
4 games second round or "quarters" = 4 bowl sites
2 games semi = 2 bowl sites
1 game Championship = 1 bowl site

FIFTEEN BOWLS GAMES BECOME RELEVANT. Without writing a book, do the math ... viewership and revenue skyrocket

I wish there were more bowls to suck up all the bandwidth from basketball.

The main question we have; are you wise naturally or have you earned your wisdom the normal way, by bumping your head against the wall. Have earned most of my wisdom by the latter method, I just wondered if you are just naturally lucky?

Your proposal sucks


Dec 2, 2021, 6:43 PM

In no world that has ever existed has there been 16 teams worthy or capable of winning a natty in D1A football. Its an epic waste of time and waters down the regular season, which is what makes college football great in the first place.

Wrong, doesn't water down the regular season one bit. Not a good argument and I'd gladly debate Dabo on it to.

You have recruiting rivalries
State rivals
Division and conference rivals
Conference championships

Not only would it NOT water it down, it would enhance it because d1 schools now shy away from big games because a loss is devastating. With the playoff structure like this, you'd get better reg season games.

Just like the NFL regular season is so much more exciting than the college one right?

OWo, I like it. Not sure who your TD ferry a are but oh well.

I'd go one step further, I'd make the other 16 teams 17-32 a FB nit tourney. That takes care of 30 bowls. With each tourney, the higher seed would play the first game at home but with a bigger ticket split. Like 65-35. Next round the higher seed plays in the bowl closest to their fan base.

Take the rankings out if it...


Dec 2, 2021, 9:20 PM

4 - 16 team conferences split into 8 team divisions.
Division winners play for each conference championship in the first round.
Now put the rankings back in and set the next round.

This is a guaranteed way to make the regular season work and take the human poll out if it. Don't win your division, then you have no chance in the playoffs.

Dec 2, 2021, 9:46 PM

That would be foolish, they need the first and second round games played on campus of the higher seeds.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But why ? We are trying to make these Bowls relevant


Dec 3, 2021, 3:09 PM

And get people to watch them and bring in money and whatnot

There aren’t even 4 deserving teams most years.

If they ever make the playoffs that big. I would like to see 1-8 get first round home games.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There already is a 16, 32, 64 team CFP.


Dec 3, 2021, 3:11 PM

It's called win the games on your schedule.
