It should be 12 and it should be 12 by like, next year. I thought there was still a chance it happens next year or did that deadline pass?

Banners. Lol Not even close to being true and the very first year is evident of that. So many argued OSU didn't deserve to be there and look what happened. No one is calling for "dozens" either. I'm sorry this worries you but that's a "you" problem and that's it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we have it, everyone wants to cheapen the regular season by inviting teams that would be laughable to include in the CFB - can you say with a straight face that there was another team more deserving than the 4 that got in? And why should they be included? The only reason expansion is even being discussed right now is because the NCAA sees it as additional $$$, not because it improves the product or makes people happy.

"Deserving" isn't the point. This year, especially, there's no clear cut best team. It looked like UGA but that could be bc they didn't really play anyone. Bama looked like trash a couple times this year. Michigan did as well. Nothing wrong with adding a few more teams to the mix to see if they can win the tournament. Every year we've had other teams that could arguably be in the mix to get a shot and they've been turned away, mostly due to the conference they play in. I don't care why it's being discussed but I'm glad it is bc I feel it'll make it better. You disagree. That's fine. Give the '17 UCF team their chance in the future. If you're so certain you're better, it shouldn't bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Lol this cheapening the regular season **** is hilarious. You know what cheapens the regular season? Scheduling FCS opponents in ******* November. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I’ll still pound the drum for 8 being the perfect number. 5 conference champs for your 5 power conferences (pending whatever happens to the Big XII) and 3 at large teams re-seeded 1-8. Sure, this year as a whole college football is down, but years like 2015 with a 1 loss OSU and a good 2 loss PAC 12 champ in Stanford, with a bunch of 1 loss tiebreaker teams who were left out, it would have been ideal. Throw in those UCF undefeated teams as your at large, or even that BCS Boise State team who upset OU, the Utah team with Alex Smith or the one who thumped Alabama way back, and it would have been better for everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pf9 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The failures of both Georgia and Iowa to win their CCG games has put me even more in favor of CFP expansion. Had at least one of those teams won, Notre Dame would be making its first ever back-to-back CFP appearances, the earliest that can now happen is 2022 and 2023. It is the first CFP without either ND or OSU since the disastrous 2017 CFP that only featured Southern teams, which was a driving factor for me favoring a Mason-Dixon format for an expanded CFP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towerbridge Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 If I had my way I'd go back to the BCS, but 4 teams is a decent compromise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 You keep saying “cheapen” as if the regular season isn’t already cheapened by teams scheduling cupcakes and basically playing 2 preseason games. There’s nothing special about college regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towerbridge Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 The number 4 team showed it had no business being in the playoffs. Even Michigan was a joke. Expanding would be dumb, and we would have more injuries with more games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
