[rchawk]

SIAP. The ten FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director will be meeting in Chicago tomorrow* to discuss a 24-team playoff.

* Very likely at the Hilton O'Hare. Please don't pester them.

Hopefully the FBS conference commissioners decide that only teams in a conference can be in the playoffs.

I see what you did there

If it helps get rid of meaningless bowl games, I’m all for it.

More games, more TV revenue, more gambling, yaaaaay. I long for the day when there's a 48-team, round robin tournament.
Who cares 20-year old bodies can break with overuse? Who cares some of those kids are actually trying to study something challenging?

 

[Iron Doc]

A 24 field is long overdue.

So, you would embrace a system that Hawkeye football is done after Black Friday at least 90% of seasons?

Not me. No Hawkeye game is meaningless..I enjoyed beating Vandy last year.

They will just roll them into this playoff system somehow.

I think that's a good thing.

I think that's a good thing.

I'd rather play/visit a neutral site bowl venue than at someone's stadium, unless of course it was in Kinnick!

That Vandy/Iowa would have been a playoff game last year. In the last 10 years, Iowa would have been in the playoff 6 of them. With the conferences at 18 teams, you are only scheduling ~half the conference. I'm good with the expansion.

I like this idea, but again the SEC gets a huge boost with most of them being in the south.

Had they seeded it as a 24 team playoff, Iowa would have played Miami.

Me too.

yeah, it would have probably been a spanking, but fun either way.

If we can’t make at 24 team playoff, I’m good waiting until September.

FCS NCAA football has a 24 team playoff.

Division 2 and 3 NCAA football have 32 team playoffs.

No one seems to care if those bodies are being broken or if those kids are missing class. Or, is this a different kind of football played at a different time.

Force teams to drop FCS games and make strength of schedule a huge component of at large bids.

want to play Jerk Water State? Remember that come selection day.
