Even if you go with 6 or 8 you’re still only gonna have 3 teams that have a chance to win it all.

This is another bad take. The point is to have a legitimate champion. If you're going to have a NATIONAL championship, you have to play teams all across the nation. You also need a qualification system, not a selection system. Technically we still have that, but having the top five conference champions get in is kind of a de facto qualification system. If you want to supplement that was selections, like the basketball tournament does, that's fine.

Decide on a detailed ranking system for every team. Take the five conference champions like this year plus the eleven highest ranked teams who aren't conference champions, seed them according to their ranking regardless of whether they're a conference champion, and go at it. No byes.

It's not a joke. You're too hung up being 12-0/11-1 being a requirement to win a national championship.
In the old days, teams got those records because the played maybe one or two teams eith comparable talent. Nebraska and Oklahoma beat up on lousy Big 8 teams. Ohio St. and Michigan beat up on lousy Big Ten teams. Texas beat up on lousy SWC teams, etc.

No it shouldn't. The reason college football is like it is, it's because the national championship used to be a popularity contest, so the best players and coaches would go to those schools cuz that was your pretty much only chance to win a National championship. Now that you more teens able to get into the playoffs and have a legitimate shot, you'll see some other teams get some better players and overtime you'll see some other teams be able to compete.

so why should a 9-3 team, that bungled some of those easy games and/or proved themselves less than elite against the good teams on their schedule, get a shot?
Yes, I'm hung up on being the best team from start to finish being emphasized over getting in and getting hot at the end.

Again this is a dumb take. The old way of college football is just to sell for filling prophecy. The reason only a couple of teams were National Championship caliber has caused you decided that it's beginning of the season. The more you start having an expanded playoff you'll see that these teams better presumed to be the only contenders will start losing.

Give me a team that was deserving, but due to early season rankings didn't get a real shot? The best you can do is like the undefeated UCF team, which would have gotten curb stomped by the big boys, especially if they had to play two or more of them.

once we got a system in place where 1 played 2 every year.
And yes, I want the old days when every game mattered and there were few or no mulligans, when teams were punished for losing games. Now we have a team in that very well might win it all despite choking at home against a barely bowl eligible Michigan team, and the "bubble" teams are like Alabama, who lost to ####### Vanderbilt and got curbstomped by a ###### OU team. They still had people claiming they deserved to play for a national title. Devalues the whole thing.

or the prestige of a true national title are going to win the day against money. Watching you cheerlead media corporations watering down college football so they can make a few extra million dollars is wild, though. What do fans get out of it? A few extra crappy football games and the chance that their team who choked, at home, against barely bowl eligible Michigan can win a "national championship." Bleh. The rare case when a real elite team has to go through several extra teams, that will benefit their legacy. Most of the champions from here on out won't be on par with the historical teams like 2018 Clemson, 2019 LSU, etc. Eventually some 9-3 team will get a great draw and their opponents will have crappy injury luck and we'll have a truly fraudulent champion.
And no, I don't believe for a second that Texas would have been given a third chance over a team like Notre Dame if the committee were fashioning a four team playoff.

The expanded playoffs are a hit and will be growing in the future.
2 of the 4 teams remaining in the CFP wouldn’t have made the CFP in the old format. If 50% doesn’t prove the point, then you’re just being needlessly hard headed.
Again, if you feel you have an objective reply then please keep it succinct and to the point. Thank you.

Personally I wanna see it go to the top 24 teams. That would be awesome and two months of football. Do it exactly like FCS does.
“The 2024-25 FCS playoffs will have a 24-team bracket that will have the top 16 teams seeded and the top eight seeds receiving automatic byes to the second round. The rest of the 24-team field (the remaining 16 teams) will play in the first round.”

The 12 team playoff provides an opportunity for more teams, and will expand soon. It’s not going anywhere, and it’s more fun than a 4-team playoff. Plus we made a bunch of millions to play in it, and nearly served an upset. Sooner or later there will be upsets or two, and as it is teams like Notre Dame and Ohio State wouldn’t have made a 4-team playoff. I’m thinking Buckeye fans like the new format.

Notre Dame 100% would have been in a 4 team.

Oregon notre dame and Georgia were the locks. Fourth spot would have probably been Penn State.
I’m sure Ohio State fans are happy that their loss to Michigan was rendered irrelevant and potentially even helped them. I don’t really give a #### about the happiness of those douchebags though.

If it were still four teams I think they'd have been locked in over Texas.

The rankings don't matter much when ND isn't eligible for a top four seed and the committee knows they aren't getting left out. It changes the arithmetic. Texas would have been viewed as having had their shot to prove they belonged and failed twice, once at home.

Texas was 3rd and would have been in a 4-team playoff. I’m not sure what you’re arguing otherwise.
Neither ND nor OSU were in the top 4. OSU was 8th. If you were a Buckeye you’d be a happy dude tonight.
Thing is, it’s 12 and will be 16. What good does all the bellyaching do? None. Are you going to stop watching the games?

They were ranked third in a 12 team format. That doesn't mean they would have been ranked third in a four team format. I don't believe they would have been, based on how the committee historically ranked teams at the end of seasons under the four team format. You are also free to believe as you wish, neither of us can prove the other wrong, but it's clear to me that a two loss team with no conference title wouldn't have been ranked above one loss Notre Dame.
I don't know why you keep bringing up Ohio State. They didn't deserve to be playing for a national championship, but with twelve teams everyone and their brother gets in...kind of my entire point. It's watered down. Their losses to Oregon and Michigan are rendered irrelevant because they're virtually guaranteed to be in every single year. Just what I always wanted, more Ohio State football to watch.
I'm sure they are happy, and will even convince themselves, if they win out, that this team is just as deserving as undefeated and one loss teams who won during the four and two team eras, but they aren't. They picked the right year to start choking, the first year that choking away a win wouldn't cost them, that's all.
And yeah, I'm trending towards stopping watching, though it being the only sporting event on at the time and historic inertia of just "I'm a college football fan," will likely carry me through a couple more seasons. Eventually it'll just be too sad, though, watching some lesser than team get a good draw and good luck and win a "national championship." Knowing what it used to take to call yourself that and comparing it to teams like Texas and Ohio State who played their way out only to be saved by a money grab....just pathetic.

Texas was 3rd in the final CFP rankings. That means they would have gotten in regardless of a 12 team format. Surely you can’t be that lost?
Likewise, neither ND nor Ohio State were in the final CFP top 4. And now they’re in the final 4. This is a great example of why playoff expansion is a good thing.
You scored zero points in this discussion buddy. Sorry.
Look, you don’t like expanded playoffs but you’re in a VERY small group. I mean really small. That, and they’re not going anywhere and they will expand along with conference realignment.
The expanded playoffs are here to stay. So how many days/months/years will you spend energy complaining about it? I’m sorry man, I just don’t understand complaining about things that won’t change. It’s wasted energy - kind of like all the words you typed. Why? You didn’t win this debate sir, especially when you can’t understand the facts.
Take care. Go Tigers!!

rankings. ND has advanced and playing for the final 4 while 8th seed OSU is already in.
They like expanded playoffs just like we did. You’re an an island if you say you would rather not make the playoffs then to make it and lose.
Again, $4M and we made a helluva game of it.

It hasn't been a joke. This is a dumb take. As the expanded playoff goes on, some of this talent's going to get distributed out through the teams, because players know that they can win a championship at other places besides a handful of blue blood schools.
The one thing that would be smart to do is just seed the teams based on the rankings and not have the conference Champions get first round byes.

Vs cold hard cash. The premier talent will continue to collect at a handful of money schools. Oregon, OSU, Texas, A&M, Georgia and Alabama if they can continue throwing money at kids etc.

Disagree. Really didn’t much care about any bowl game outside CFP since CFP started. Now we have more meaningful games, even if they’re blowouts. Now we are pretty sure the right four teams are in there somewhere.

None of these games resulted in upsets. Texas game was close but no cigar. 6 teams to 8 teams until there's a salary cap and other rules to increase parity. The nfl has already proven this. It's not rocket science. Be a student of history and not a minion of espn and media hype.

Which is fine, but I can't understand it for you so I'm not sure what you want me to do.
Ohio State SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD A SHOT. They lost, twice, once at home to a mediocre team. That is not what historically constitutes a national championship caliber team. But we live in a new world where even three loss teams get a chance. It's watered down, that's my point. The national championship itself is lesser now that so many teams are included in the "deserving" category. Four was plenty and often too many to begin with. The expansion didn't solve a problem because there was no problem, it's not intended as a solution, it's intended to increase someone's bottom line and the prestige, history, tradition and what made college football unique and special be ######.

Probably going to end up with 4 of the biggest brands (Ohio State, Penn State, Texas and (UGA or Notre Dame) in the Final four. No different than the Four team playoff we had. Just now it will probably be all SEC and B1G representation which is what they wanted to begin with.

Doesn’t matter how many teams you go with.. 4 teams still had blowouts.. when it was two you still had blowouts.. 12 teams just reduced opt outs and increases views (making more money). The first few out will always complain even if you do 64. At least now the final four had to earn a spot.

I'm thinking ND and OU being in the championship games during the BCS era and getting blown out by someone who actually had a decent team. Sacrifices to the gods ND, Oregon and others became and the only people who believe the NC deserved that crown were the fans of the two teams that played in those games.
The PO since year one has produced a true national champ. That's something, everything we wanted a cried about for decades.

The 12 team playoff was to get more eyeballs around the country to watch the games. There's only about 4 or 5 team actually capable of winning it all.

I am enjoying the playoffs format. It needs to be tweaked. No byes and no home field games to start with. Clemson had a chance and so did ASU to pull an upset. Fun stuff in my opinion. Plus as much as I hate OSU, they are peaking at the right moment. They never would have made the 4 team format. Neither would Clemson this year.

There have certainly been many non-competitive games but I think the biggest joke is having teams with a 6-6 or 7-6 record in a bowl game. Having said that, I know it's all about the money...
