Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 3880871, member: 5685"] Really hate it. We are just delaying the inevitable of the top 1-3 teams in the CG. I rather see an expanded season. Give me 14 SU games and a one game NCG over 12 SU games and 12 team playoff. This really would benefit the SEC and B1G not the G5. The last 3 years would have resulted in: SEC 10 bids B1G 9 P12 5 ACC 4 B12 4 AAC 3 ND 1 So 19 of the 36 bids (over half) went to the B1G/SEC. The P12 was seen as down during the last 3 years since they had no top team but they beat out the ACC and B12 who were Top team heavy. AAC got the 6th Champ bid every year. Memphis got in as a 12 seed despite being 17th in the poll. 2019 First Round 12. Memphis 12-1 at 5. Georgia 11-2 The Cinderella aspect makes you tune in but it is likely over at halftime. 11. Penn State 10-2 at 6. Oregon 11-2 This is an interesting matchup for the Rose Bowl, but neither team is making the Final Four. BTW what happens to the Rose Bowl? #14 Michigan (4th B1G) vs #22 USC (3rd P12)? 10. Utah 11-2 at 7. Baylor 11-2 I would watch it in the 4th Q to see who wins, but how boring can you get? 9. Florida 10-2 vs 8. Wisconsin 10-3 Would be a good Outback Bowl. Probably then most interesting of the first round. Second Round Florida/Wisconsin winner at #1 LSU 13-0 Wouldn't even be close, but who would be at LSU? Utah/Baylor winner at #2 Ohio State 13-0 This isn't even worth tuning in for. Penn State/Oregon winner vs #3 Clemson 13-0 Playoff Clemson wins easily. Memphis/Georgia winner vs #4 Oklahoma 12-1 The only matchup worth watching on paper. So all we are really doing is taking away 4 good Bowl games and masking them as week 1 of the playoffs. Week 2 there is one good game. There were 5 quality teams in 2019. That is the case most seasons. I get going to 5 or 6 but anything past that is about making money and nothing else. 2018 First Round 12. LSU 9-3 at 5. ND 12-0 LSU might have won this. But do we really need to see a 4th SEC team in a playoff? 11. Penn Sate 9-3 at 6. Georgia 11-2 Name teams but I think Georgia wins easily. 10. Florida 9-3 at 7. Michigan 10-2 This would be a good game 9. Washington 10-3 at 8. UCF 12-0 Without their QB UCF would lose. Even with him this isn't that interesting a game. Second Round Washington/UCF winner at 1. Alabama 13-0 Boring AF if Washington is the team. If UCF had their QB you watch for David vs Goliath, but that last 10 mins. Florida/Michigan winner at 2. Clemson 13-0 Playoff Clemson wins easily Penn State/Georgia winner vs 3. Oklahoma 12-1 This would be an interesting game if Georgia. LSU/ND winner vs 4. Ohio State 12-1 Could be a good matchup but hard to win on the road. There are some interesting first round matchups but they are interesting like Bowl games are. I rather see these matchups as OOC games in an expanded season. Week 2 has the potential for a complete snooze fest. 2017 First Round 12. UCF 12-0 at 5. Alabama 11-1 Cinderella aspect for 10 mins? 11. Washington 10-2 at 6. Wisconsin 12-1 Boring for a Rose Bowl 10. Miami 10-2 at 7. Auburn 10-3 Auburn would beat that overrated Miami team easily, especially at home. 9. Penn State 10-2 at 8. USC 11-2 A good game on paper. Second Round Penn State/USC winner at 1. Clemson 12-1 Clemson at home isn't losing to either Miami/Auburn winner at 2. Oklahoma 12-1 Auburn would make it interesting Washington/Wisconsin winner at 3. Georgia 12-1 This wouldn't be close UCF/Alabama winner at 4. Ohio State 11-2 Bama at Ohio State Nothing great to see in Week 1. Though Week 2 has potential for being worth watching. [/QUOTE]
