We've got 3 CFB playoff games, 2 NFL games and the HW championship of the world in boxing happening today. At least one of these events will pay off.

8 teams is enough. As long as there are no automatic bids.
I’m with you..
Funny the ones that were wanting more teams in the playoffs or want 16 teams are all crying that these games are any fun to watch

Boo hoo hoo.

Chiefs are the worst 14-1 NFL team I've ever seen but they keep winning. Wouldn't be surprised to see them get a 3 peat.

Nope. A 3 loss team has no business having an opportunity to win a national title.

Nope. A 3 loss team has no business having an opportunity to win a national title. Bama freaking lost to a 21 point underdog by 21 while scoring 3.
This is more proof that there are too many teams in a college football playoff.

I wholeheartedly agree with you that are three loss team shouldn't get in. That will just dilute the regular season.

Plus, this conference champion automatic bid crap is more about justifying a team with a great record (in a ****** conference) getting an invite.

Retract to eight. The eight best teams. That is plenty. If you're a Big 12, ACC, or any other team from a second rate conference, make sure you are playing tough non-conference schedule.

They're effing it all up by getting cute and trying to include the feel good story of a few Cinderella's having a chance at making a run in a playoff. This isn't college basketball.

I’ll never be cool with serial child molestation & systemic enablement

Maybe that’s where you and I differ

Every person who roots for pennst is either a child rapist or is okay supporting child rape
My problem has more to do with a large amount of the fan base willing to turn a blind eye to all of it. Simply to defend their beloved JoePa.

As an Eagles fan, I've flown out to quite a few home games. While many I have met out there DO denounce it, there is still an alarming number that believe Pedo St. got the shaft. Because of them, F that fan base.

Arizona State was (and is) the only lower-ranked team that I was expecting to do anything in the playoffs. But I didn't think Indiana and the ACC teams would get completely destroyed. Good Lord.

Why do people hate that the playoffs have expanded to 12 teams but no one complains about March Madness?

Using the same logic, March Madness should only be 16 teams.

Probably because when a team is getting ****-stomped by 40 points in the basketball tournament, there are five other games you can switch to.

Do we really need 68 basketball teams in the basketball tournament though?

16 teams wouldn't be enough?
Put it to you this way for every one football game played they play three basketball games, it’s much more physical playing football, much more game planning for a football game.

There’s 362 Division 1 basketball teams. 132 FBS football teams.

The best team rarely gets crowned in college basketball.

Everybody has gotten so used to the tournament though, so it would be hard to rip away.

Office pools. 1st round chaos. It is has been made for TV drama since the 80s.

Never understood people that want to compare football to basketball.
Two completely different sports with 105 players to 12-15 in basketball..

Exactly.

Basketball can be absolutely dominated by a player or two.

Football? Hard to run a one to two man show and win it all.

If these were just bowl games it would be so lame. This playoff is just so much better.
