    Until players are appropriately compensated, more games under any circumstances would be a loss for players.

    Why stop at 64?

    There are TONS of bowl games with competitive matches. Throwing more teams at Bame and Clemson to blow out doesn't sound fun.

    Bowl games are meaningless and we will see more and more players abstain from the unnecessary risk. Make the games mean something.

    But also yes, compensation.

    For most of history, bowl games were just exhibition games that didn’t amean anything anyway. I think having 40 bowls games a season waters them down and theyd have more value if we went back to ~10 in addition to the cfp. I know I’m not watching the 6-6 and 6-7 teams play.

    Yeah, paying players would have the most affect on recruiting, and would probably spread the wealth of recruits around the most.

    The rivalry is back on

    This is stupid. Recruiting rankings last year:

    1) UGA
    2) Ohio St
    3) Texas
    4) USC
    5) Alabama
    6) Penn St
    7) Clemson
    8) Miami
    9) Oklahoma
    10) Notre Dame

    To date this year:

    1) Alabama
    2) Georgia
    3) Texas A&M
    4) LSU
    5) Clemson
    6) Oregon
    7) Oklahoma
    8) Michigan
    9) Texas
    10) Penn St

    They recruit consistently well, sure, but players aren’t stopping going to the other big power 5 schools because of Alabama and Clemson

    An 8 team playoff isn’t gonna make those rankings look any different

    That's fair. Still no reason to not expand though haha

    What about the fact that we haven’t seen a season where even four teams are good enough to be in the hunt? If you look at the playoff semifinals each year, there are always blowouts.

    So are you also in favor of cancelling the NBA until the Warriors break up and Lebron retires?

    i just looked. there's been tons of blowouts. lol

    NBA is the prime example of how more is not better. lol

    No, but I would say that the NBA playoffs are way too big/long.

    Yeah, more than two is irrelevant so why not just eliminate the rest

    That's a seeding issue. Was a 1-loss Bama team really #4 in the nation?

    Yeah haha I don’t think it’s a reason to NOT expand. I just don’t think it suddenly makes the gap between Alabama and the rest of the league smaller either
