I'll take a home game at Neyland in the 1st round. Especially at night. That atmosphere would be incredible.We may sneak in there but the more realistic side of me says we’ll be one of higher seeds without a bye. Now with the new scheduling next season things could get a little wild, so you never know.
I feel like people don’t realize how hard it’s still going to be to make the playoffs. A team could be ranked in 8-10 range and still be left out some years. I really wish it was a 16 team playoff since there are automatic bids.It’s going to be harder than many think. Being top 10-12 probably won’t get us in because of autobids
Or does it really matter, as long you get into the playoffs?

Just imagine how frustrating it will be to ranked 9th or 10th in the county and not make it in. Meanwhile, some non power five school that played a soft schedule and finished ranked in the 17-25 range does…
I think teams like liberty should have to be ranked higher to get in than that for sure, but he is right there will always be disputes whether it is 8-12 or 26. I wanted a playoff and actually thought 8 was a good number but we are at 12 and that is fine. But that is plenty. And as far as being left out if we are 13 sure it would be tough but just use it as motivation next time. If you expand the field any more you make the regular season not nearly as important and nobody wants to see mediocre teams in the playoffs. Somebody always wants to fool with the numbers. 12 is plenty, there has to be a stopping point. GBOSo you will be completely fine if a UT team ranked in 9-12 range gets left out while a team like Liberty ranked 20-25 gets in due to auto bids?

I understand. In my mind those thing are tied together. I would be fine with 12 teams if they removed the auto bids and it was the 12 best teams. However, if 5-6 of the 12 spots are auto bid's. I personally would prefer a 16 team playoff because it insures the top 10 teams make it in.That’s a different question. What you’re asking is “should there be autobids or less autobids”. The question we were discussing is “how many teams should be in the playoffs”.
