Honestly, the matchups will be meaningless for the playoff, and it will free up a weekend for games to be played on campus sites. I agree. Conference champion can just be determined by standings. I suppose that kind of sucks when the #1 and #2 have never played each other though. Quote Link to comment

Also, they should mandate SEC and ACC have 9 conference games. Quote Link to comment

But I assume there is too much money in them for them to go away. Plus, as conferences expand there will be more of a chance for two teams to tie and haven't played each other. Quote Link to comment

Funny how the arguments that it's SOOOOO much easier to make the playoffs from an 8-game conference have pretty much ceased since Clemson took a step back. Likely that three out of four this year are from 9-game conferences. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) So a 12-team playoff this year would be: #1 - Georgia vs winner of #9 Kansas State @ #8 Tennessee #2 - Michigan vs winner of @10 USC @ #7 Alabama #3 - Clemson vs winner of #11 Penn State @ #6 Ohio State #4 - Utah vs winner of #12 Tulane @ #5 TCU Edited December 4, 2022 by Mavric Corrected 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I don't think when they were dreaming it up that there would be that much of a gap between the top two conference champions and the next two - although it did close down somewhat in the final rankings. My preference has always been eight teams - and no more than two per conference - which would have been: #1 Georgia vs #8 Kansas State #2 Michigan vs #7 Utah #3 TCU vs #6 Clemson #4 Ohio State vs #5 Alabama 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Stone Cold Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 8 teams makes more sense, then the bottom 8 dont need to play one more game, or am i not thinking about this correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment

How many extra games they play obviously depends on how many upsets there are. But a team playing in the opening round games could play 17 games under this scenario. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I would prefer just 8 teams. Not sure of the reasoning to think they need to go to 12. 3 Quote Link to comment

Extra round of games and TV money. Also have a bigger time footprint to help bridge from the regular season without having to wait a month for a championship game 1 Quote Link to comment
