4-4-3-3-1-1 CFP model

I hear Pate and Klatt are promoting 14 team 4-4-2-2 model. I know the ACC wants 3 AQ spots, why no talk of 16 with 3 each for ACC/B12?

That would essentially give us a 22 team playoff (counting conference championship weekend) with a max of 1 at large bid if ND has a down year. Plus it saves the future state of the ACC/B12 and keeps about 70 programs at the top level of CFB.

What is enough? 11 in the B12, 10 in the ACC and 9 in the SEC? How is moving the goal post for SoS any different than AQ?

Nope. It’s a bit more simple than that.

NFL model. The league is the franchisor. Each university is a franchisee. Franchisor is owned by all the franchisees.

Uniform caps, minimums, rules.

Everybody working with the same amount of resources, and same set of rules.

The NFL‘s business model is proven to be extremely successful.

Except the legal hurdles to get to that model are very high. I’m not saying it’s perfect just within reach.

Plus if we want good business, 20-40 of those 70 schools won’t make the cut.

You might have seen a previous post from me. Doubt the P2 will ever go for that. They are saying they generate 65-70% of the money in college football. I'm hearing (doesn't mean they will be that steadfast) the SEC and the Big want 70% of the playoff spots or 70% of the revenue. The days of propping other conferences up are over. They no longer want to contribute to a socialist, or welfare, system. The lesser conferences put very little into the pie but want a big slice of it. Most conferences have very little viewership, little stadiums, fan following that pales in comparison and just do not have the support the SEC and Big have.

Twelve teams are too many now, imo. The more they stack into the playoff the more interest I lose. I quit the NCAA basketball playoff years ago. Every school in America is involved in it now it seems. It's became what wrestling is now. All show and little substance.

I think socialist is a bit shortsighted when you talk about universities many of the sports fans attended. The more schools you cut out the more go watch something else.

Plus the SEC and B1G have been supporting Kentucky, Missouri, SCAR, Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois for years. Again if you only want short term money form a 20 team super league. If you want to sustain the sport for decades lock in a model that keeps 60+ teams interested over the entire 12 game season.
