How to Fix College Football

[gob]

Well, it did take the Big 10 a while to get onboard the CCG, but they've been around since 1992.

Yeah, and the ACC not until the mid 2000s, PAC later (though they did have round robin)

WTF needs to be fixed?

It is abso-fucking-lute-ly awesome as is.

You wan't to create some shitfuck 8 or 16 team playoff; and you completely ruin the greatness of the week in and week out of college football forever.

Guessing you said this when the discussion was 4 from 2? Amiright?

How would it be ruined? You saying you'd stop watching if this happened?

 

[dtgold88]

That’s why we have a 4 team playoff now. The issue is it’s hard to find a 4th team that actually deserves to be in there also. There is no legitimate reason to expand the playoff and those that bitch about it are just butt hurt.

were we also butthurt when we bitched about the BCS and wanted 4 teams?

Guess only concern is what happens when 2 teams tie and didn't play each other?

It would probably be by ranking (assuming previous tiebreakers didn't resolve it)

4 is what I wanted.

Quit putting words into others people's mouths asshat.

So in 2015 we would have had Iowa in the playoffs over Michigan State because they played in a weaker division. We need Conference Championship games to help prevent one team from skating through because of a weak schedule. Plus if you don’t have a conference championship game, how do we have a conference champion?

I agree this is a bit of an issue, but seems you just want to complain. Best team gets in by record, you complain. Team with lesser record earns title by winning CCG you complain.

Guess they could do what B12 does and just have top 2 play.....but I suspect if they did and say one team won after losing the first game they played you'd complain.

I like the idea of having to win your conference to go to the playoffs, however, it should not be automatic.

The best part is that it would force ND to start playing with everyone else, or to watch from the sidelines.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Seems really fucking simple to me.

Step 1: Win your conference
Step 2: Those assigned the task, decide the best 4 teams of the conference champs

Every year we have 2 to 3 teams that separate themselves (ALWAYS conference champs by the way). And then the dolts of "We need more teams" create some stupidasso argument about some 5th or 6th team to add for some shittard reason.

That isn't getting the best four teams in though, just bc you win one game doesn't mean you are a top 4 team. I understand you said pick from those conference champs but it's not always that simple. Not sure why this is hard for people to comprehend.

 

[steelerssb]

Not a fan. People with suggestions like those tend to not be dyhards anyways.

Precisely. Anyone who's ever been to a conference championship game would never advocate getting rid of it.

Step one: Eliminate subjectivity.

 

[podsox]

Play your fcs Opponent for the spring game. replace the regular season gm with a power 5 conference opponent

 

[Shanemansj13]

Only way to change the system without expanding and not putting in a 7 win team bc they win a conf champ game is to make a SUPER Conference. We all have been waiting for this for years now.

The road to the playoffs should go through Cincinnati, it's that simple.

What I'll never understand is, how can you NOT win your Regional Championship, and then somehow expect a chance to win a National Championship?

 

[BamaDude]

Yes, but most logical folks could get onboard a 4-team playoff.

 

[CaptainStubing]

Nope. Under this writer's scenario, they wouldn't have made the playoff, either.

. If divisions and the ccg are eliminated, it would make the scheduling even MORE unfair

It's already ruined. You just refuse to admit it.

 

[CaptainStubing]

Same way they make conference schedules eqal now. You don't.

Without a ccg, it would make the schedules even more possibly unfair though, correct?

 

[Shanemansj13]

2016 ring a bell?

Penn State won the Big 10. tOSU went to the CFP and got spanked 31-0 by Clemson in the 1st round. You didn't deserve to be there.

Hey what happened to B1G champion Penn State that year? They should have gone?
