There is going to be a 4 team playoff in college football :damn:

[Lakers Offseason]

So basically we're gonna be watching SEC football playoffs?

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

true there will be 2 more "meaningful" games

Better then no more meaningful games..

I really dont see what cfb has to lose as if its a great system now..

You purists argument that every game will have less meaing already went out the window this year with Lsu and Alabama..

Now youre on to conference championship games being of les meaning when theyres already tons of meaningless ones..

None of these arguments warrant keeping the system as is..

16 is the only way to do it. 11 conference champs and 5 at large. But they'll complain of "waaaaa Finals exams" when completely ignoring the fact that FCS/I-AA has done it for decades with no problem.

There isn't a market to sustain that type of ticket sales breh. Stadium attendance would be

march madness goes through it..you always see tons of empty seats at march madness games..or you could have early round games at the higher seed teams field..

yea i always said that the BCS wasnt that bad. a playoff will have the same issues as the current system. might as well leave it alone but people want a playoff even tho they dont have the foresight to see the problems that will arise

Not really. A playoff eliminates most of the problems the BCS created b/c a computer decided the national championship games. Now a committee of people who live & breathe the sport will determine who should be the final four.

BCS created NUMEROUS problems, problems a playoff will eliminate

That doesn't make sense. People were already going to go to the bowl games, which the semifinals will replace. You'll have fans & casual fans fill up stadiums for both semifinals games & the championship game, just like they do for The Final Four.

I don't see how conference championship games become pointless. If anything they'll bolster the bid for a team to be in the top 4 if they win their conference.

It's funny that y'all are crying about college football finally putting together a playoff system after years of crying for one. This new system is a win-win for the sport & it's fans. A champion will be determined on the field, not by a computer. Stop crying

1. not all teams travel well. 2. i dont know the time frame which playoff games gonna happen but i imagine 2 weeks so youre gonna have fans fly from one coast to another in a matter of a week on short notice plus a place to stay plus tickets. thats a lot of money dog for two games. 3. it's not settled on the field it's settled by people choosing who gets in. they basically replaced the computer with people. 4. conference champ games will bolster a team depending where they rank and who wins. 11-1 team loses to 9-3 team and they dont have a better record than 2 other schools and is tied with another school from a lesser conference but is a champ who gets in? same predicament we've had with the bcs cept now people pick

That doesn't solve anything. In this econmy for someone with season tickets at a big football school to have to pay for:

The ticket
Contribution to even buy the ticket
Travel each weekend

In the regular season and then get hit again in the post season

And everyone will say the big time donors won't mind but just like wealth in this country they are the powerful minority.

You only mean this related to the four games that are about to be passed correct?

 

[Rekkapryde]

So what is the point of the conference title games now????

Leagues rescheduled their entire seasons over conference title games to avoid controversy and get proper auto bcs bids

But what's the point now?

I'd rather be an 11-1 conference "third place" team than and 10-2 conference winner

If michigan is 11-1 faces Penn State is 10-2, and ohio state is 11-1 with only loss to michigan....and penn state wins...do all 3 of these 11 win teams get fukked?

Last year, let's say georgia had beat LSU in a thriller. So georgia is 11-2 and sec champ...lsu is 12-1, alabama is 11-1, and arkansas is 11-2 with only losses to lsu and bama. the other OSU, stanford, are also 1 loss.

You really think okst and stanford will both get the nod???

Nothing is settled on the field, and its even worse now.

Georgie prob would have gotten the nod along with with LSU. Definitely Okie State. Stanford may have snuck in as the 4th, but yeah I feel ya.

who said this? if people were pissed about a rematch this season it's more likely to happen in a playoff.
and Gizzle made a good point about conference title games.

If your team performs then you wont need a committee to choose youll be undefeated in January. They just added those next 2 spots for the fags who keep crying cause there team isnt good enough to make it to the BCS Title! Roll Motherfukking Tide see you fukkin slawdogs in September.

Conference title games are the worst argument ive ever heard..most of them are meaninigless to begin with..

Did Vtech and Clemson really mean anything in the scheme of things? how can it get any less meaningful?

 

[Shugg84]

You already know LSU gone be in there !!!Hope we have home games..I always sit at the bottom.

for an auto bid into the bcs yes. now they can get rid of the games cuz they'll no longer be used for an auto bid but they wont cuz they make too much money off the games.

1. Whichever city gets selected to host the semifinals & the championship game won't have problems selling tickets. Fans from both teams will LINE up to be at The Final Four of Football.

2. The season gets extended by one or 2 weeks at most. They could push bowl games up into Dec so that Jan 1 is the national championship game (like it used to be).

3. It IS settled on the field breh. A semifinal game & a championship game. That never happened in the BCS & is a key reason they're moving away from it now
