Expanding Playoffs with an "NIT" Type secondary Playoff


Dec 11, 2018, 11:39 AM

While I'm in favor keeping the playoffs close to where they are, I decided to take the devils advocate side to talk about the positives of an expanded playoffs. I've picked up some points that the talking heads in the media and the fan boards have been discussing and come up with some thoughts to toss around. I am speaking of a really big expansion of at least 8-16 teams and you will see why in a second:


1. Ending the Bowls once and for all. I have been holding on to this sentiment for a long time and that is why in part I like smaller playoffs. I also have grown sick of too many meaningless bowls against 6 win teams. If you expand 8-16 teams I don’t see how the Bowls can be maintained. Early rounds will be played on the home field of the higher ranked team.

If you are going to expand the playoffs then doing it is such away to eliminate most of the bowls.

2. Playoffs would reduce players leaving early for the NFL. Instead of skipping the post season, I imagine in a 16 team format a lot of guys would feel the pressure to stay with the team rather than skip a chance to participate in a playoff.

3. Creating home games for fans instead of long road trips. This is a big reason to support. Who wouldn't like this?

4. You could have an “NIT” type playoff for those teams that didn’t make the dance…Why not? That would put the bowls down once and for all.
I still like the 4 game format but wanted to throw that out there for the heck of it.

Why do away with the bowls? They are good

for many local economies. The coaches like them. The players like them. TV likes them. Sounds like win/win/win.

Pretty much all the bowls are at least ostensibly charity events, trying to raise money for something, even if much of the money goes to pay the bowl organizers.
