8 team playoff


Dec 15, 2018, 3:39 PM

This is how I would set it up:

First, we would eliminate divisions within conferences and eliminate the conference championship games. Getting rid of divisions would allow for a better rotation of inter conference play. The conference championship games have been lame for a while with how most of the divisions within conferences are lopsided. We will still have conference champions. The team with the best conference record, wins the conference, if their is a tie, then go to head to head, if no head to head, then the team with the highest rank wins the conference. This system in my opinion would make the regular season games even more important not less.

So all 5 conference champions get in, and then we have 3 at large that get in. So the first round of the playoff will be during the current conference championship weekend. The higher seeded team gets to play at home. This will give us an extra home game. Under this system we would have played the #7 ranked team Michigan this year. ( What game would you rather watch, having Michigan at home or playing Pitt in Charlotte) Then the final 4 teams play the same schedule we have set up now.

I’m a fan of the 4 team playoff. So what if someone gets left out. Outside of the last 4 years every championship game played left out 3 power 5 conferences. The last 3 years it’s been a lot of discussion about the 4 seed. That’s what makes it fun. All the debating on who’s in and who’s not. If it’s that hard to pick the 4th best team what do you think will happen trying to pick the 8th. More than likely the 8th seed is a at large with 2 or 3 losses. There will be at least 7 teams that can be. Leave it at 4.

Someone else here said this first (and better than I'm going to), but

4 teams seemed like enough when it was assumed the ACC would be the Power 5 conference getting left out more often than not. Dabo flipped the scr*pt, though, and now the others wanna change it up again.

I'm fine with 4, but if there were going to push the 8 team, I feel that would be the best way to do it. It would enhance the regular season with more frequent match ups we rarely see with the current rotation

If you get rid of divisions and Conf Champ games

You need to realign back to smaller conferences. Have eight 10-team Power conferences. You play everyone with nine conference games and still have 3 OOC games. All champs go to the playoff.

80 teams have a shot. Prove it on the field. No whining. Committee does the seeding. That should have enough controversy for TV and sportswriters to get their hoaring dollars.
