Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Y'all think depth is going to factor in on a 12 team CFB play-off with 4 teams getting byes?

 

[MrVolton]

any bye of any sort in the CFB playoff is stupid

furthermore, if the first round is going to be on campus, you are not rewarding communities that have good teams

that is another gameday weekend for local businesses to cash in on a successful team, especially in the smaller college towns

Exactly, just go ahead and make it 16 teams and eliminate the byes.

Come on man....I f'n hate this bubble wrap . These guys are physical monsters...they don't want or need anybodies freaking pansified protection...period.

For those worried about to many games, drop a couple of the 4 scrimmage games everyone plays every year.
Do we really need Alabama playing Austin Peay?
UT playing UT Martin?
No

I don't like the byes. And I don't think conference championship games make any sense if there is a playoff. Should we pick the 8 best teams without respect to conference champions?

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

looks like the AP poll in the coaches poll decided to opt out of the bowl games.

Ive always thought, make the conferences match up with the playoffs, and make round 1 of the plays conf champ games. 6 conferences 12 teams.

But that would severely penalize us and our conference. We should have several teams in.

Too complicated. 5 conference champions. 3 at large. Never again will there be controversy over who truly deserved to be in the playoffs or not. There's never been a year where more than 6 had a legit argument, let alone 8.

I’m here, what’s the update? Rashada? We’ve got a boatload of issues and he’s only one. It’ll make you all happy to know that my assessment of Florida football right now is seriously bleak. As in, pre-Spurrier bleakness. I have no idea if Rashada makes it to campus or not but I know the disorganization has to improve or we’ll be 6-6 forevermore.

No

But we do, the smaller schools NEED that money. It also helps most schools build experienced depth

No

Those schools need them and it’s good for depth.

I say do away with the conference championships instead.

8 team playoff is only one more weekend of games.

But we do, the smaller schools NEED that money. It also helps most schools build experienced depth

It also allows the players in other parts of the State to see he VOLs play, and that helps recruiting.

looks like the AP poll in the coaches poll decided to opt out of the bowl games.

What do you do? Michigan lost to TCU. OSU lost their past two games (Michigan and UGA) and that leaves Tennessee and Alabama who weren't invited and present their own problems because Tenn beat BAMA but the committee said 'nah, nevermind that.'

In hindsight the best playoffs would've been what we all knew was untenable for the playoff committee to do: UGA, OSU, Alabama and Tennessee.

So you would have had GA, Mich, KSU, Utah, Clemson. We were more deserving than at least 3 of those. Who would you have given the other 3 spots to? And what do you mean by "legit argument"? The committee and media change their definitions ad hoc on the regular.

Do you really deserve a national title if you cant even win your conference?

Depends - what if the conference scheduling isn't a level playing field?

 

[SweetasSoda]

There’s no need for the conference championship. The team wins the conference by playing the games. Then you have the playoffs.

I saw a Wright run in the OB that reminded me of someone..was it Jeff Powell in the Sugar?
He didnt score but that long run had that gape and determination.
