pf9 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) OK, due to the pandemic we've seen the NHL go to a 24-team playoff and MLB to a 16-team playoff. This year, it doesn't look like any non-conference games will be played between Power 5 schools. Even Notre Dame is in the ACC for this season. Only the ACC and the Big 12 have permitted 1 OOC game, and are effectively requiring them to be played at home against a G5 team. Because of the pandemic, SOS for 2020 has suffered across the Power 5. So, I propose that the CFP adopt a temporary format for the 2020 season. This season would see every Power 5 conference champion guaranteed a spot in the CFP. The three at-large bids would go to the three highest-ranked runners up (not necessarily CCG losers). To limit the spread of COVID-19 at the CFP, a bubble format would be instituted for the quarterfinals. As the semifinals are the Rose and Sugar Bowls, and the title game is at Hard Rock Stadium, the bubble will have to be a venue that is not hosting the semifinals, final, or another NY6 game, and one with a very close practice facility too. The Quarterfinals would have to be held in the early afternoon and in primetime to give enough lead time between games. They also must be held over two days.
