Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4117340, member: 5685"] The problem is 16 teams. 12 is better 16 but not as good as 18 or 20. With 12 you have the bottom four playing the middle four. 5. Baylor vs 12. Northern Illinois (boring) 6. Notre Dame vs 11. Utah State (boring) 7. Utah vs 10. UTSA (boring) 8. Pitt vs 9. Louisiana (good game) 1. Bama vs 8/9 (boring) 2. Michigan vs 7. Utah (good game) 3. UGA vs 6. ND (boring) 4. Cincy vs 5. Baylor (good game) The problem is you leave out Ohio State who is a better team than seeds 4-12. Seems silly to leave a team like them out for those low quality teams. In BBall they have the 4 worst conference winners and the 4 worst at larges play to get into the 64 team field. Do the same with FB. UTSA vs Utah State for the 16 seed, winner plays 1. Bama Louisiana vs Northern Illinois for the 15 seed, winner plays 2. Michigan Oregon vs Oklahoma for the 14 seed, winner plays 3. UGA BYU vs Iowa for the 13 seed, winner plays 4. Cincy 5. Ohio State vs 12. Pitt 6. ND vs 11. Utah 7. Baylor vs 10. Ole Miss 8. Okie State vs 9. Michigan State The only really bad game is the #16 vs Bama. A lot better looking playoff. With just 16 teams you have worse matchups and leave out Oregon, Oklahoma, BYU, and Iowa. If you are having 10 auto bids IMO you need to go to 20. 2019 would have been: 1. LSU vs 16. App State/FAU 2. Ohio State vs 15. Boise State/Miami OH 3. Clemson vs 14. Memphis 4. Oklahoma vs 13. Bama/Michigan 5. Oregon vs 12. Auburn/Notre Dame 6. UGA vs 11. Penn State 7. Baylor vs 10. Florida 8. Wisconsin vs 9. Utah The Top 3 seeds are winning easily. But the rest of the games are all interesting. It is a lot better than 16 teams with 10 auto bids. 1. LSU vs 16. Miami OH 2. Ohio State vs 15. FAU 3. Clemson vs 14. App State 4. Oklahoma vs 13. Boise State 5. Oregon vs 12. Memphis 6. UGA vs 11. Penn State 7. Baylor vs 10. Florida 8. Wisconsin vs 9. Utah Personally I want to see 7 teams with auto bids if a conference champ is Top 10 only. If every conference gets an auto bid I think you need 20 teams. Going from a 4 team playoff to 20 teams is a huge jump but so is going from 3 conference champs to 10 conference champs. IMO the G5 champs need to earn it. Just winning a crappy conference isn't enough. Especially with BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, UCF leaving the G5. Go the BBall route. [/QUOTE]
