Date: November 9th, 2026 2:13 PM Author: SkaddenArse I put BCS over the traditional system for the sole reason it brought the pac10 and big10 into the NC game. but the playoffs are gay and absurd. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5920670&forum_id=2#50245660) |

Date: November 9th, 2026 2:21 PM Author: bigeastboy Agreed to no playoff. and I say this as an absolute USC homer. we would have benefited more in the 2000s from a playoff than any other school (would have won NC's in 02, 07 and 08 for sure). but I would gladly go back to the pac/big10 Rose Bowl setup.

Date: November 9th, 2026 2:27 PM Author: Ancient Christian Wisdom Looking at past seasons, there has only ever been 2-3 teams who looked like legit national title contenders. No one has ever thought "Wow, the 7th ranked team really should have a shot at the national." I get it's just networks raping the sport for cash but at some point you have to maintain some integrity.

Date: November 9th, 2026 3:10 PM Author: Daft Unc There are going to be years when the #3 or #4 team is going to have a legit claim to the best or second best season. I think having 4 means there's very little chance you'd ever leave out the best or second best team. And by underdog I'm talking about a 1 loss power 4 champ in almost every case. I think this is the best compromise (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5920670&forum_id=2#50245830) |

CFB is an abortion now, Im actually sad that we are about to have the LAST SEC Championship game, its hard to even comprehend that. SO that TV stations could make more money |

Date: November 9th, 2026 4:19 PM Author: michael doodikoff there were two divisions for a long time - there is always confusion about the "who is best" in "conferences" (I use that term jokingly) who don't have conference games.
and some people prefer a definitive "best" which can only be done by a championship game
I don't get lisping football fans who just think that the "eye test" holds for determining championships |

Date: November 9th, 2026 4:36 PM Author: metaphysics is goy 2 divisions introduced when championship game introduced. Oh what a tradition. No one said anything about an eye test faggot that is an espnism. Are you telling me that if ur favorite team uga goes undefeated and beats ur other fav Alabama in reg season they need to beat 2nd place Alabama with 2 losses twice to be called champ? How is that better than a champion based on regular season? (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5920670&forum_id=2#50246018) |

Date: November 9th, 2026 3:55 PM Author: Dickey Simpkins BCS was cool because the upsets were so consequential but the whole system was predicated on the non-championship bowl games being meaningful. That was starting to decline even before the the CFP came, so the older model was on borrowed time.
With the bowls in decline, 12 game playoff is the next best thing. Basically you need to make an old “BCS bowl” to make the playoff. The upsets do matter but you basically need to go 10-2 in the SEC or Big10 to be safe or 11-1 in ACC or Big12 (unless you won conference). A 9-3 team or two will make it this year for the first time due to sole chaos but the 9-3 team will likely have 5 wins over ranked teams.
24 team playoff turns it into college basketball and will hasten the decline of the sport. The SEC and Big10 signed their eventual demise today and it’s hilarious. The top programs will start joining ND as independents at some time in the 2030s once the grant of rights expire. Ohio State and Michigan won’t be having equal disruptions to Purdue and Maryland once they can get out of the current deal and with conferences now meaningless. |

Date: November 9th, 2026 4:52 PM Author: barnabyjones what should have happened:
the 5 major conferences (pac, big, big12, sec, acc) each play 9 conference games (no divisions) and best two records meet in conf champ game.
that result brings you down to 5 champs. its easy to decide the best 2 from that. the other three left over champs play in big bowls similiar to bcs setup (rose, orange, fiesta, cotton, sugar).
this gives you definitive national champion while still keeping all of the tradition. |
