Radical CFP idea coming out of the BIG TEN .........

[BigD]

......... my ass. I have been saying this for a long time, even before the rudimentary four team playoff system. Unfortunately helmet to helmet causes brain damage and the boys running things are a little slow (from the previously reason I pointed out.)

They are talking about just dropping the conference championship games, It would be much, much more financially beneficial to even drop one or two more regular season and expand to include more fan bases by including more teams...... DUH!!!!!! Like I said not a real bright bunch. Thirty-two teams would be about right to incorporate a massive fan following. 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, CHAMPION

It's a semi-pro sport now anyways.

This waters down the regular season waaaaayyyyy too much. That is what was great about college ball versus pro. Every game had huge significance for title games, playoffs, and bowls. In the pros, the Chiefs can lose a stinker to the Raiders and not have it have much impact upon a playoff run. Flush the tape and move on. College ball has never had that feel and I don't like this proposal at all.

12 is more than enough to determine a nattie.

Make it an even 16 so there are no byes

So with no more conference championships what's going to prevent the SEC from reducing their regular season to 7 games? Let's be honest, now that this is solely about playoff money, what conference (especially the SEC) is going to want its contenders or even top tier programs competing against each other week in and week out knowing with an expanded field there's a better chance they'll get additional teams in. The SEC already has a huge advantage playing an additional non-conference game, what's to keep them (or other conferences) from reducing the conference schedule or manipulating it to enhance opportunities.
