Those matchups are proof that the first round of a 16 team playoff is unnecessary. Alabama vs Buffalo is just a waste of time for everyone.
First I don’t know what the real number is that it would bring in. Nobody is arguing that more playoff games equals more money. That’s been proven by real studies as nauseum. In your scenario you want equality for all then that means the revenue. You are going to have to evenly split that profit across all conferences. Right now in the CFP you don’t get any extra money for winning the semifinals it’s just $6 Million for making it. No way in hell you are going to convince these power 5 conference to agree to equal revenue sharing from this new pot for the G5 teams while adding another game where they could potentially lose or have injuries.
College sports are still fan centric and losing a home game each year to trim the season is a big deal considering we only get a handful as is.
University of Maryland Baltimore County and Virginia was a waste of time too right?
I thought we were talking about football. You're comparing apples to Cadillacs.
I can get behind this one a lot more than 16. I would watch all of those first round games, as honestly they would all be pretty solid. This is a perfect world where Indiana had Penix still at QB.
You just identified the reason most won't go for your scenario. No big schools want to give up home games.
Wait UMBC won the national championship!?!? News to me. Basketball and football are completely different things you can’t equate the two. UMBC still finished in a tie for 17th at best if you just go by where they ended in the tournament (Rd of 32)
We will never have a logical playoff, regardless of number of teams, with the bias associated to team selection.
I'm legitmately starting to think someone pissed them off when they came here for GameDay. Him and Reece just hate us
The selection committee exists so that TV networks get the matchups they want. I'd like to see to it that there is no selection committee at all. But that's always going to be where the unlimited force meets the immovable object in college football. TV networks are the real customer of NCAA bowl division football.
Didn’t stanzi have a thing with Herbie or something or am I remembering that wrongv
