CFP to consider proposal for 12-team format

 

[rocktopper16]

Need a minimum of 2 G5 teams

The four highest-ranked conference champions would be seeded one through four and each would receive a first-round bye, while teams seeded five through 12 would play each other in the first round on the home field of the higher-ranked team. (The team ranked #5 would host #12; team #6 would meet team #11; team #7 would play team #10; and team #8 would meet #9.) Under the proposal, the quarterfinals and semifinals would be played in bowl games. The championship game would continue to be at a neutral site, as under the current format.
The current agreements for the four-team CFP extend through the 2025-26 season.

Other elements of the working group's proposal included the following:

• While the playoff calendar is still to be worked out, broadly this is the recommendation:
• • First-round games would take place on campus sometime during the two-week period after conference championship games;
  • Quarterfinals would be played on January 1—or January 2 when New Year's Day falls on a Sunday—and on an adjacent day;
  • Semifinals and championship game dates are to be determined; semifinals likely will not be played as a doubleheader.
• The playoff bracket would follow the rankings, with no modifications made to avoid rematches of teams that may have played during the regular-season or are from the same conference;
• The bracket would remain in effect throughout the playoff (i.e., no re-seeding);
• The working group's charge did not include deciding which bowls might be a part of the CFP in the future; however the group did recommend that if traditional bowls host games, teams would be assigned to their traditional bowls for quarterfinal games with priority going to the higher-seeded team;
• All 11 games would be under the CFP umbrella, with the administrative specifications and the process for selecting the six bowls that would rotate as hosts of the quarterfinals and semifinals still to be determined.

Doc’s a medical professional...not sure what Weez is using as an excuse.

You'll thank me when Walter Nolen chooses UT.

This is true several animals kill another for the joy of the kill.

For the joy? How human of you. No they kill instinctively for food, but because they are well fed, don't eat the kill. If you find joy in killing anything, I have some questions.

Turkey Bacon is absolutely loaded with sodium and preservatives. Wish there was a way to make deer bacon. Ive never understood the hate for Venison.

There is a company in Kentucky that makes "deer bacon" Not really bacon but tastes great more like a jack link's stick with the flavoring of bacon.

Biggest news here: Norte Dame better get in a conference to get a bye. No more freebies.

I love this.

Don't you start. No other animal on earth kills just for the joy of it. Or to just deprive others of their same species food. It doesn't help Im reading Shadow Country about the pioneers in southwest Florida around the turn of the 19th century and they basically hunted about everything in the area to extinction for greed.

Wrong. When I lived in Hawaii a neighbor's dog got into another neighbor's fenced acreage and killed his entire flock of sheep for the fun of it in the middle of the night. I woke to the sound of a gunshot. Neighbor #1: "You shot my dog!"

They were business partners.

My cat kills things for the joy of hunting. He has no interest in eating the little bunny, bug, wasp or other things he kills.

Cats are not considered within the inner ring of "moral scope".

That is comparing an animal acting out of instinct with a human that has the ability to foresee outcomes and consequences, weigh factors with their conscience, and make an ethical choice.

Two worlds apart.

SIAP cliff notes: Working closely with the NCAA with all aspects of the investigation, making progress but still no timeline as far as wrapping it up. DW said we are setting an example for how future investigations should be conducted. The host said he expects at least a one year bowl ban. We need to wrap this thing up!

 

[Catbone]

I mean it's a start I guess. The format is better but we NEED FREAKING PARITY. The gap between teams is HUGE!!!! NCAA needs to let teams sign more than 25 a year or something.

Are you an animal whisperer to know what they are thinking? I haven’t hunted since I was 12 but hunters sure do take a lot of joy in it and I have no issues with it…… I did take a lot of joy yesterday and killing several fire ants yesterday.

But only rich folks are allowed to go. So all you poor folk need to keep your broke azzes at home.

Yeah I don't see this is a major solution towards the parity issue...

That said, it may help a bit because many more schools could sell "we're in the playoff hunt every year" as compared to right now where only 4-5 teams can say that with a straight face.

You all know I hate the college football playoffs as it is.

less bowls.

I have a magazine at home talking about Johnny majors signed over 80 players a couple years before his title run at Pitt!

If you take joy in killing a warm blooded creature I you are not the kind of person I want in my life. I eat meat, but I take zero joy in the fact an animal had to die for me to do so.

 

[Devo182]

less bowls.

Thank god. You know they've gotten out of control when it's a 5-7 APR team vs 6-6 G5 team playing in the Beef O' Brady's Mortgage bowl, co-sponsored by OnlyFans.

You’re scared of your cat aren’t you?

It’s not a black and white subject. Watch the Pete Alonzo hunt with Steve Rinella. Many emotions going on there.

Exactly. It's a big start. Less meaningless bowl games as well. And as someone said, forces ND to ACC full time. Wish they would have guaranteed 1 spot for a G5 at least, but I imagine they will still have one should there be someone deserving. I'm a fan and don't understand all the backlash against it.

what was wrong with that hunt? Rinella has two biologist brothers and is a conservationist and pro management himself.

Actually, house cats often kill strictly for fun or sport.
