Did the 12 team playoff achieve it's goal?

I preferred the traditional January 1st bowl games. The playoffs have destroyed New Years Day. Then, there's the transfer portal where some ditch their teams and don't play in the playoffs. They should dump the transfer portal. College kids with full-ride scholarships shouldn't get a salary either. Prior to the portal, anyone who transferred had to sit out a semester before joining the team.

Coaches should coach for free too. And not be able to leave for another job if they are under contract.

Well we certainly ended up with better semis than we've ever had and i personally emboss seeing new and different teams get a shot even if we ended up with 2 blue bloids playing for the title

No way...the last two years have had better semi-final games IMO:


2024: Michigan beats Bama in OT; Washington beats Texas 37-31

2023: TCU beats Michigan 51-45; Georgia beats Ohio 42-41

I think this years Semi-Finals are a lot like these:

2020: LSU over OK 63-28; Clemson over Ohio 29-23


2018 might be the best ever playoff, if you include the national title game where Bama puts in Tua at halftime and comes back:

2018: Georgia over OK 54-48 (2OT); Bama over Clemson 24-6

I don't get why he's saying the two biggest upsets of the season are now completely meaningless. They still happened, they were still huge upsets.

It does put college football in line with every other sport. There is merit to it but it also lost what makes college football special imo.

Just go ahead and expand it to 16 teams and be done with it.


Oh yeah… and do away with about half of those meaningless bowl games that no one goes to as well.

As I said well before 12 teams became a thing, eight is enough.
