Teams they lose first round

The problem I have is that the team's that make the CFP but lose in the first round miss out on a couple more weeks of practice, right?

That's always mentioned as being important for development.

You know the Music City Trans Perfect Bowl is always waiting with open arms when it comes to the Vols.

Yes, that is true. It also implies 4 less really good teams for the bowls, no bowl swag for the players, etc.

It is like you are playing for the chance to play in a BOWL game as all the other games are tied to bowl games.

And this is one area which was not thought out well as the 4 teams that lose in the first round would have been prime targets for the bowl games.

Financial impact as well given the matchups are going to have some teams that would have brought fans to the cities hosting the bowls and the teams would have made money from the bowl games.

They did start the playoffs at the edge of bowl season - but if you lose you don't get the financial boost that some of the bowls would have brought.

Since most bowls dont take place until after the week of the first round, they can just ammend the rules to allow the 4 losing teams to be bowl eligible, if they want to play another game to close out the season.

Like I mentioned above, the Music City Bowl can always be a standby for the Vols.

Goodness, if we lose first round, the NegaVol crew will be on here complaining that CJH failed to make a bowl game in Year 4.

Anything to support their weak narrative.

Well, yeah. That's what we do

Agree - just doesn't seem they thought through this aspect of the playoffs, regardless of the question of whether players would opt out - there are other factors involved.

What is the financial difference to the conference and university between a first-round playoff game and a traditional bowl appearance?

Host, provided they get to keep all their dollars, probably makes some money - but traveling team? Or is the money pooled, and all 12 teams get a share of the overall money from all playoff games?

I get you are trying to win to advance which implies you then get the traditional things that comes with a bowl game, but losers, especially those that travel - are they just out of luck in terms of the financial angle of all this?

Found this - I wonder if it is cumulative or just based on final position other than the cost per game to cover expenses.

With the new 12-team playoff comes a new revenue distribution model. For 2024-2025, here’s how much each team will make in the College Football Playoff:

  • $4 million for each of the 12 teams that makes the College Football Playoff
  • $4 million for each of the 8 teams that makes the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals
  • $6 million for each of the 4 teams that makes the College Football Playoff Semifinals
  • $6 million for each of the 2 teams that makes the College Football Playoff National Championship Game
Additionally, each team who participates in the College Football Playoff receives $3 million to cover expenses for each round.

Additionally, each conference receives $300,000 for each of its schools whose football team meets the NCAA’s APR for participation in a postseason football game. Each independent institution also receives $300,000 if its football team meets the same standard.

Last thing I remember was something like $4 million + expenses to each quarterfinal team and their conference gets something as well. Way better than a bowl payout.

I assume that must match up with what a bowl game would bring in. The loser will just have to go home early for Christmas and watch the rest of the games with the rest of us.

Go Vols!

I like it. We should give it the old wrassling rules though. Winning team gets to shave losing team at midfield.

I like it!

Way less offensive than planting a small stick with a piece of fabric symbolizing an (other) institution of higher learning.
