I watch every Husker game.
And if you've ever complain about the Huskers (which would be perfectly normal), then you're in the same boat as those who complain about the CFP and still watch it.

Exactly. Had ohio state beat michigan, oregon would have had to beat ohio state three times possibly to win the natty. Absolutely stupid.
If they beat Michigan even with another loss to Oregon probably would not have been 8 seed .

I'm not disagreeing with you, but who would take their spot? 2 loss Miami or BYU? 3 loss Alabama, South Carolina or Ole Miss?
thats why I'm waiting for systematic math to hit college football, so nobody has to question who's in the playoff..the season determines who's in the playoff by wins and loses...not polls....

So the BCS? I'm not opposed.

I’m tired of the SEC lovers crying. Including Finebsum who says Tennessee blowout loss isn’t the same because they belonged in the playoffs.

I don't complain about the Huskers have too many games. I don't complain about them having a better chance to make the playoffs.

Oh, so it's not complaining in general? It depends what the complaint is.

The big question is how many teams will Canada, Greenland and Panama get? Asking for a friend….. ;)

The SEC can hold out all the want but each year they keep getting lamer.

It is clearly going to expand, everyone knows that. And it will be AWESOME.

There are 68 teams in the power 4 conferences if there is one at large bid then in reality you should take 11 spots / by the 68 power 4 teams.

Agree … though I would watch every game as would most college football fans.
I would too, but I already watch almost every bowl game (as time allows) and most FCS playoff games.

If you think Iowa fans are annoying now though, they would be doubly annoying if they were able to pout their chest over playoff appearances, which they surely would if it was expanded to 24.

If it goes anywhere near that number it should be an award for teams who were champions. Should go to all conference championship winners. With the power 4 teams getting the second place in their conference for free. Then the rest go to at large bids.
Yeah...I have some friends that are married too.
That's nice for you! Doesn't matter that i legit haven't watched it. Season is over I watch a few bowl games and then just read the results of the playoff. They don't interest me.

If we are going to 24 then we need to just include seats for teams who won their conferences to begin with. 10 Free spots to everyone who won their conference. 4 extra free seats for the team that came in second at the P4 level. Then 10 at large bids for the rest.

Some might be very angry at the G5 schools getting in. But honestly they have the same likelihood of winning it as does most of the at large bids. 24 means we are going full college basketball. Oh and ND can only get in from an at large no guarantee for them.

Kind of a lot of thought for someone who doesn't care/watch the playoffs! Ha
