Absolutely NO reason for Marcus Maye to be NEAR an All American list. Hell he wasn't even on the two deep for the All-SEC. He still getting turned around and tortured by Nick O'Leary from last year against FSU as we speak.

Calvin Ridley & Ardarius Stewart abused him on Saturday

We should want the best 12 teams period.

we shouldn't give "conference champs" an automatic berth into our 12 team playoff unless they're legit one of the 12 best teams in the country.

No more "free passes" per say.

we would have a committee like now vote on the top 12 teams every week. No more ap or coaches poll or bcs rankings

So you expect the conferences to dissolve, free for all where everyone's an independent and hope the committee members take the time to watch all of these independent squads play? You're UF degree is really showing itself

In an effort to improve the league's strength of schedule ratings, the Big 12 has announced a new scheduling requirement that will force every team play at least one nonconference game against an opponent from a Power Five conference (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC and Notre Dame).

BYU and Army will also be considered acceptable Power Five opponents, according to ESPN's Brett McMurphy.

No existing game contracts will be impacted by this new requirement and there is no hard deadline, but this is clearly a move that has resulted from the decisions of the first two College Football Playoff Selection Committees.

"Schedule strength is a key component in CFP Selection Committee deliberations," commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. "This move will strengthen the resumes for all Big 12 teams. Coupled with the nine-game full round robin Conference schedule our teams play, it will not only benefit the teams at the top of our standings each season, but will impact the overall strength of the Conference."

About time Baylor can't get away with playing SMU, Lamar and Incarnate Word now But then again, they'll probably schedule Vandy, Army, and Colorado

they need to add 2 more teams and get a title game

thats going to be disputed either way, and you'd have teams scheudling 11 mid-level opponents and 1 ranked team in hopes of getting in. conference alignment is far from perfect, but it is the only structure the sport has

eventually it will go to 8, but i cant see 12, thats just wearing down 18-21 year olds. theres too much money in conference title games they arent going away

this dummy jplaya said that PLAYING YOUR WAY INTO A CHAMPIONSHIP doesn't make sense, no, we should have 'a comittee' choose a TOP TWELVE on a weekly basis...

how about this

conference champions win their way into a tournament of champions. We completely eliminate polls outside of gambling purposes, and theres only 2 out of conference games a year.

dissolve the big 12 or ACC, end up with 4 conferences, and the champions play each other

and if the one conference that doesn't join this tournament of champions DOESNT dissolve, guess what, you're AAC status in one season.

I already did this in the "i've just perfected college football' thread from like 4 years ago...

I might be alone here, but I'm not for eliminating cupcake games completely.

There's no pre-season in cfb, so the cupcake games help to get into shape so to speak.

That said, OU only had 1 "cupcake"(tho it was a MAC team so that's not really a cupcake anymore) game this year. And then it was onto Tenn.

But once you start conf play, no more cupcakes.

And if they go to 8 playoff teams, they're gonna have to shave 1 game off the season. Just too many games and risk of injury.

Just eliminate playing fcs schools across the board
