I am admittedly an OU fan and I am admittedly no fan of most of the teams doing the most bitching about an expanded playoff. With that said, I'm all in favor of going to 8 teams if we throw away the farce of conference champions automatically getting into the playoff. A weak conference has a built in advantage with that approach. Maybe it is a yearly advantage or maybe it's only an occasional advantage but it makes no sense to reward a participation trophy to anyone. Take the 8 top ranked teams and let them go at it. If one conference has a big share of the field, then so be it. If Oklahoma doesn't make it as a conference champion because we are ranked below #8, then so be it. If none of the small fry make the playoff, too bad. The 8 top ranked teams would be a hoot to watch playing each other. And to placate the major bowls, rotate the initial four playoff games among them.
*conferenceJust curious who all these 3rd place in their division finishers are that made the playoffs. The truth is, 8-4 finishing 5th in your division could be better than 11-1 winning a conference championship....depends on the conference and the division. Playing more conference games and expanding the playoffs is not going to fix that, or how shitty the Pac-12 is.

What about Oklahoma? They didn’t play Ohio State and they were in the playoffs.Moreso OU but the rain was widely discussed in terms of Sparty on Rivals
You all earned it though
Can't argue for AQ and be a hypocrite
Maybe they should talk to their conference champ about not getting blown out by a .500 team in consecutive years.
8-5 = .500?
So you haven't heard of him? It's fine if you haven't it would just seem odd to me.
Bama fan going around shitting on expansion (literally)
Not surprising.
Just embrace it like Diego has
I agree with all this, but what is the reason to go beyond 4?
I'm not mad, I have an opinion and I think your opinion is shit. I'm blunt and don't care if you like it.
And it has nothing to do with Alabama. You want a shit system period. Alabama isn't going to be at the top forever, people have to think beyond their own teams current situation. You're just gonna end up shitting all over the sport because you think it's the NFL and it's not.
What about Oklahoma? They didn’t play Ohio State and they were in the playoffs.
I am complete against AQ. If we go to 8 teams there is absolutely no need for AQs at all.
8-5 = .500?
Ohio State looked like shit all year long, got manhandled in the Michigan State game and lost to a team without a quarterback.OU lost to a shit Texas team
Ohio State looked like shit all year long, got manhandled in the Michigan State game and lost to a team without a quarterback.
I think your opinion is convenient given Bama always gets the benefit of the doubt
What benefit of what doubt?
Am I supposed to be scared if you throw 3 loss Washington on our schedule? Do you understand that being the #1 seed is going to result in a game like that?
Short term memory loss much?
Just last year?
So who was supposed to go instead, fucking Ohio St with your 2 losses and getting blown the fuck out by Iowa?
That's what you call Alabama getting the benefit of the doubt? That's what I call everyone else shit the bed. Alabama did not deserve to go last year, and that's why it's dumb to expand - it just got worse after Alabama.
