I was just pointing out the difference between the Alamo Bowl and Sun Bowl. I actually agree with you to a point about the decline of traditional bowl games. I don't think I agree with your ideas on playoff expansion. I might want to hold onto the past traditions. I have no problem with expanding to up to 12 teams. If it goes further it becomes only about money. Expanding to 12 teams will not change who is in the semis or finals, though. Refer to the lack of parity discussion. I think you can see an upset between top teams in college football but I don't think it's like basketball where you would see a cinderella run by a lower-tier team.
Toledo, even with the best team in their school's history, isn't beating Clemson, Alabama, or Ohio State. Football is just different. The number of guys on the field. The depth. The totality of team; sum of the parts; etc.

There are 10 conferences and you could include 2-6 additional runner-ups from P5 schools to get a 12 or 16 team bracket.

So you are in favor of engineered playoff selection results?

So you are in favor of selection officials using their "judgment" to determine who should be in the playoffs. To use your example, you'd prefer a 9-2 North Carolina being selected over an 11-0 Utah team. Would there ever be a situation were an 11-0 Utah team (or Troy or App State or UCon or Wash State, etc) would make it in to the playoffs over a P5 team?

I have zero interest in watching that. And in fact, I seem to have less interest in watching a 4 team playoff annually having already knowing what the end outcome will be. To each their own though. We don't have common ground on the issue.
Another problem...starting to hear people squaking that they want the regular season shortened by one game due to the four week playoff season. So to give 12 teams the chance to play up to four extra games, they want to eliminate a regular season game for 118 teams.Last edited by boatcapt; 06-28-2021, 09:39 AM.

I feel the same way. When it was the top two teams in the nation selected, I watched. Now that it is 4 teams, I rarely watch and when I do, it's maybe 10 minutes at the most. I'd have even less interest in watching what amounts to a 4 week "season" after the REAL season!

Originally posted by Fightingscot82 View PostI just find this baffling.Originally posted by Fightingscot82 View PostEspecially from someone who for decades has covered a team that is always the best team from the underfunded conference.
