Re: So does anyone feel different about expanding to 8 teams?

Would the results be any different? The additional game would be entertaining, I would attend.

An additional game against strong competition could lead to more injuries at the end of a long season. The two teams in the final might not be the best teams due to an injury early on. The top two QB's go down early on and UGA and OSU play for the Natty? Worse yet, UCF and ND play in the final? Do we really want to see that?

The players wouldn't have a break from Thanksgiving on. The off week for someone like Alabama last year would give an even more advantage.

Home game in the first round? I doubt the schools get to keep a lot of the money. Add another fan cross country trip.

I thought 8 sounded fun. I don't think so anymore.

The most important function of the Playoff was to end...

Dec 31, 2018, 1:45 PM

the years of ESPiN pushing an obvious loser into the path of the SEC champion. The next priority was to determine which team was a true national champion. The third and least important goal was to find the four best teams.

In this system the BCS goal will always be met. The Playoff Committee has four guesses with which to find the National Championship. The best team has to prove itself twice. A reasonable person would know that at least two of those goals was met. The third is insignificant if the first two are met.

Should UGA have been in the playoff? No, no one gets a do-over. If you can't get past a team you don't deserve another shot. If we start creating rematches to the regular season and the CCGs next we'll have to go to the best of three, then the best of five then the best of seven.

Perhaps we should expand but if we do where is the cutoff point? If it goes to 6 and three SEC teams don't make it ESPiN will want 8. No matter what the PO system does ESPiN will want one more SEC team to be included until the entire conference is included.

That's the entire story as I see it. Others are welcome to question or correct my assessment.
