8 teams, top 4 get a first round bye

What reason is there to go to 8?

 

[TechRaiderRider]

So what years have the polls been so subjectively wrong that we need 8 teams instead of 4 teams to fix it?

did not say anything about previous years being wrong -
that also would be subjective/speculative opinion -
and with the 8-team format,
we'd get more football -
everybody likes more football
('cept maybe a few wives) -
cheers!

You didn't work that one out on paper, did you?

So you're offering a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Boy, that's never fucked shit up before.

I thought that's what we do around here

Increase the CFP to 8 teams and the first rounds are played at the home of the higher ranked team? Or keep the CFP as it is today?

8 teams as you described. Holy shit that would be awesome.

 

[Proud_Okie]

For those that think 8 is too many (and I do understand your logic), how about top 6? 5 P5 champs, plus 1 at-large. 1 and 2 seeds get a bye. 3 plays 6 at home, 4 plays 5 at home. Semis and championship games as they are today.

128 teams.
Everyone should have a chance. The current system is oppressive.

hold on there, 24 -
what about schools like ND State?

6 or 8 team's is good. People saying that 8 have no chance to win, Ohio State as a controversial 4 won the first year.

What reason do you have for going beyond 4?

I don't see a legitimate reason why you need more than 4.

Well, that's a different level that should have its own all-inclusive playoff. You're right, though, they do matter and so every FCS school that plays a FBS school during the season should at least receive a participation trophy.

controversial #4.

#4.

It really wasn't even controversial. Big12 fucked themselves.

Wait until you try to pick who the 8th team is and you're trying to decide between 5 different 10-2 schools.

The more teams you add, the more teams are going to have legitimate claims on that final spot.

So whats wrong with that? It adds more to college football. You will have absolutely crazy years where 8 teams can legitimately win it.

You mean other than most of the games will end up being repeats because we have a thing called the regular season and conference championships which are in their own ways defacto playoff games?

 

[4down20]

Have any of you 8 team guys actually looked and realized that in many cases the other teams will just be the loser of conference championship games, and/or another team that lost to conference champion and were in the same division as them?

All to fix a problem that doesn't even exist.

Well, we already have had 1 BCS title game rematch so I don't see why that would be a problem. I'm personally more into 6 teams then 8 just to not dilute it too much. Give top 2 a bye. I think 6 is the golden number.

A purely selfish reason. I want to watch 3 rounds of highly ranked teams playing each other.

 

[KansasSooner]

Take your NFL shit to the NFL.

Personally, I like a regular season that matters.

So do I but I still see P5 teams scheduling FCS schools, so that tells me the regular season doesn't matter if FCS wins count...I will grant you some G5 schools ain't much better, a lot of them though have just made the jump to FBS level though.

FBS1 with 64 teams; FBS2 with the other 64 teams.
