I still don't get why they still give benefits to teams based on subjective criteria. They should make it 16 teams with no byes. Fair for everyone and more games to make money.

I completely agree. There's no reason they can't go 16 like every other division. Instead Alabama will get a week's rest every damn year.

I swear the NCAA is ran by a bunch of pyramid scheme business morons that have no sense how the real world works.

It's still a major upgrade over anything we've had before but it still has huge flaws

We'll see if DeBoer can keep Alabama as a perrenial top 4.

So, you have to win the conference championship to be a 1-4 seed. A team could go 9-3 and beat a 12-0 in the championship game (let's say with the starting quarterback or key player/s are out) and the 12-0 team loses, you have a 10-3 team holding a top 4 spot that could easily not be in the play-offs otherwise.

I guess. He'll still have top 5 recruiting classes pretty much every year...because it's Alabama.

I agree, but they would have to shorten the regular season games. A team could end up playing as many as 17 games. That's why they didn't do it.

I think it's good to put emphasis on conference champs instead of subjectively giving teams like Georgia, who didn't win their conference a first round bye.

The NCAA council members have defiance disorder and are trying everything else they can before they reluctantly settle on the obvious choice.

So, this past season that would have been this group (included their end bowl result):

FIVE
Michigan (B1G) National Champions
Washington (P12) Beat Texas, but lost to Michigan
Texas (B12) Lost to Washington
Alabama (SEC) Lost to Michigan
FSU (ACC) Lost bad to Georgia
+7
6. Georgia Beat FSU
7. OSU Lost to Missouri
9. Oregon Beat Liberty bad
10. PSU Lost to Ole Miss
11. Ole Miss Beat PSU
12. Oklahoma Beat by Arizona
13. LSU Beat Wisconsin

I think it's good to put emphasis on conference champs instead of subjectively giving teams like Georgia, who didn't win their conference a first round bye.

To be even more clear on this, I think it's good that they are drawing a defining line of critera. Win your P4 conference championship and you likely get a bye. A 10-3 P5 is almost always finishing in front of a 13-0 G5.

None of this, yeah you won your CCG, but you don't deserve it so you get a 14 seed. There is a guideline now. Let the subjective BS be about 10-2 penn state and 9-3 LSU getting the 12 spot.

All I know is instead of having a few good games this should make things far more competitive and have less opt-outs.

How many more times is this shitshow going to change until it’s the B1G and SEC exclusively?

The PAC10 is dead. The ACC is hemorrhaging. The Big12 is stumbling like a drunken sailor.

When the ACC goes, I'm done with college sports.

I'm not sure what the end game is here with trying to create a minor league. Nobody watches minor league anything unless they can go and the beer is cheap
