Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

TExpress, an 8 team playoff would lead to more games for the 8 teams.

 

That would be true for 4 of them, but I see what you are saying. But the number of bowl games, in all, will probably remain the same with a couple teams winning multiple bowl games each bowl season. This year the national champion will win the BCS championship and the Sugar/Rose Bowl.

They need to look at both, add a Championship game (with 2-4 teams expanding) AND go to 8.

 

I also like the P5 Champs plus next 2 and highest G5. 

 

That would be ideal

So in order to improve the odds of being one of those 4 (seating) wouldnt the big 12 still want a championship and no co champions? They get one extra big game which totally hurt them this week.

In my dream scenario it would be:

5 'P5' Champions

AAC and MWC champs

1 at large

I am guessing it will end up being 6 SEC teams and two at large because... SEC

A really awesome situation would be to have 8 power conferences of 12 teams or more, and the conference champion from each meet in an 8 team playoff to determine the national champion. That would only make too much sense. But that would require the networks to take their feet off the heads off the group of 5 conferences. We need an NCAA MLK to step forward and promote equality!

That would totes interrupt the money orgy though. Money money money

But then it would be the power 7 and they aren't going to allow that.

College football is about making the rich richer, dumb ESPN intros and sucking the remaining life out of it. Go Bulls!

In a phone interview on the College Football Playoff Selection Show, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told ESPN's Rece Davis: "It's clear that we were penalized for not having a postseason championship game. It would have been nice to have been told that ahead of time."

"We have to weigh whether this is substantial enough to add institutions. ... It's certainly a major consideration."

 

 

They were told ahead of time.  Over and over again.   They weren't listening.
