I don't disagree with your arguments, I'm just saying that you'd have to rip apart the existing conferences to make it fair at all. Which will never happen because football isn't the only sport in consideration when it comes to conference affiliation.

You can't compare any sport to college football. There are 119 teams. They all can't play each other. And you can't play the sport in back to back days so a big tourney like in NCAAB is impossible.

And I'm not saying CFB would lose money. I'm saying the atmosphere would suck because half of the fans wouldn't have a dog in the fight. It'd be more like an NFL game where people just came because it's a cool experience.

No fanbase has ~50,000 people who can afford to go to Miami on Dec. 31, Phoenix on Jan. 6, and then L.A. on Jan. 13, much less get the time off to do it.
:camby:

If you want to go with the superconference concept, it needs to be 4 conferences. And again, you'd have to rip apart existing rivalries and existing conferences. Good luck with that.

All of the 6 schools in the top of the rankings have NATIONAL fanbases enough to fill up half a stadium for those games. Most WOULDNT go to each game but if say michigan was in this bracket I would go to any of the games west of vegas, or in Atlanta. And i'm doing okay but i by no means have "donor money".

You wouldnt really have to rip apart the conferences, i'll do it myself this afternoon.

Theoretically everything you're saying makes sense. I get what you're saying man. :whoa:

I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense logistically. It would be ripping up the fabric of cfb and would leave a lot of people unhappy. If we got yanked from the SEC only to be thrown into a mish mash of teams from the ACC, I'd be furious. If all the Texas and midwest teams got lumped together and their white asses only had to beat Nebraska every year while we had to beat Alabama, Florida State, Florida, Georgia, etc. just to get a shot at the playoff is just simply not fair. :scusthov:

There's a reason we do a plus one system. We have to do this beauty pageant shyt because so few of these teams can actually play against each other. We also want to keep the rivalries that make cfb better than any other sport. Ripping apart the fabric of cfb just to find some mythical "true champion" is not worth it. :yeshrug:

It is absolutely worth it, considering every college football champion to date has BEEN mythical

Because Stanford possibly could have been better than Alabama. Probably not, but in a larger playoff system they might have been able to win it all if they got hot.

But they played zero teams that played Bama so you can't even use the transitive property when comparing them. There's 116 teams and the majority of them don't play each other. It's a beauty pageant to get into the playoff.

I get what @Ed MOTHERfukkING G is trying to do. He's trying to get the beauty pageant part out. But I don't see a way to make the conferences balanced enough for that to be fair. I don't think you'd actually get the best 8 teams in America in the playoff year in and year out.

They lost twice, fukk em.

We've seen teams get hot in the NFL, CBB, and the NBA at the end and miss the playoffs. Thats on them.

@Billy Hoyle @Ed MOTHERfukkING G @Silkk

A 6-seed playoff makes the most sense to me. :manny:

The top 2 seeds get a bye. Seeds 3 & 4 hosts the first round at their home stadium against 5 & 6 the week after the conf championship games. Both teams are awarded $1 million for the 1st round games and most stadiums should be near full (not many fans will be on winter vacation just yet and exams will be the week after). Also stadiums aren't in much use in the beginning to mid December. The losers of each game will be picked up by the NYear bowls, accordingly.

This gives the each Power 5 champion a virtual spot and a group of 5 team a spot (if they finish top 6).

This is how it would look with the current rankings:

Dec 10th
#3 Michigan v #6 Ohio State - Michigan Stadium

#4 Texas A&M v #5 Washington - Kyle Field

Dec 31st
Fiesta Bowl
#2 Clemson V Texas A&M/Washington

Peach Bowl
#1 Alabama v Ohio State/Michigan

Jan 9
Championship

Twenty team conferences, ten team divisions, So, every team faces their 9 opponents in division, 2 opponents in the other division, and 1 out of conference. That should fix any cross division, OOC rivalry breakups.

The conference championship games are held on New years day, round of 4 after that, title game after that.

EVERYTHING is decided on the field with the exception of the seeding, which keeps the poll system SOMEWHAT relevant...
