I guess FCS/D1AA Presidents/Chancellors just don't care about their football

[sonofdaxjones]

players, with that 24 team playoff that doesn't end until a championship game on January 7th.

Only the compassionate FBS Presidents truly care about the welfare of their football players.

a 24 team playoff would be beyond dumb no matter who cared about who

No, no it wouldn't

[steve dave]

no, it would

[sonofdaxjones]

no, it would

SD hates money.

16 teams would be about as good.

[Rage Against the McKee]

12 teams with the 11 conference champs and 1 at-large would be perfect. Just give the best 4 teams a first round bye and let the midmajors play Cinderella.

24 team playoff going through January 7 would eliminate the bowl system. 

Hence, not gonna happen.

Not really, if there's still 3 other post-season bball tourneys I'm sure there'd still be room for bowl games. And yes, people would still watch them. None of the bowl games would really even lose prestige because of a playoff except for the BCS/Cotton Bowl types and all the NCAA would have to do is make those the sites for later rounds of the playoff.

24 teams would be really dumb. Might as well let ku compete in the playoff.

[Fuktard]

Just play all the games and then let the experts decide who is best....jeezus you rough ridin' retards drive me nuts with this playoff crap.

It would be incredibly entertaining, actually.

Entertaining untill half the roster is either dead or injured by the time they reach the NC game.

With a 24 team playoff, the top 24 teams would necessarily not be bowling.  The top 12 bowls couldn't pick from the top 24 teams because they'd be in the playoff. 

I'm no media guru, but I imagine lower Nielsen ratings for a Holiday Bowl matchup of Colorado State v. Memphis or an Alamo Bowl matchup of Kansas v. Cincinnati.

Entertaining untill half the roster is eaither dead or injured by the time they reach the NC game.

Why would it not still be entertaining after that? I would prefer 12 or 16, but 24 would still be great.

So FCS players are tougher.

First round bye for the Top 8 seeds.  I'd rather have guys hurt in games, than have guys hurt in bowl practice, and with as much as 5 to 6 weeks between the end of regular season games and bowls, you can't play touch football in practice the whole time.

Or just let a committee pick 4 teams and wait 6 or 7 weeks to play the games.

dax, who is your favorite NFL team?

What does that matter?

IDGAF who wins the supposed NC in any college sport.  With as many teams as there are and as few of games as there are and non-uniform rules and scheduling, it's impossible to have a fair champion regardless of the system.  Don't worry about it.

well, for starters, you are going to be leaving out roughly 7 of the top 12 teams every year.

I don't really care about fairness, because even at 24 they'll be 8 teams saying they got screwed.   I just can't stand the idea of the absurd 5 plus week wait between the games.  What other sport does that?  That's right, NONE!

A real college football playoff is a license to print money.

The 11 conferences aren't equal.

If you are not the best team in your conference, you are not the best team in the nation. Those teams would get nice bowl games as a consolation prize. Including the shitty conference champs rewards the best teams with a low hurdle to cross in the first round, and the top 4 teams would have a first round bye.

oh jfc, not this crap again

Basically anything other than the NFL model is unfair.

I think how college hoops is decided is equally absurd.
