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.

 

Patrick Surtain looking like absolute trash out there.

 

Also a great point.

 

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.

 

Oh really now Matt

 

Absolutely!

 

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.

 

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

 

Nice argument I am convinced

 

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.

 

Refs wearing ou jerseys all night

 

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.

 

Wasn't last year #4 vs #3 for the finals

 

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

 

This is very true

 

Always

 

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
