This article?In reading some stuff online, it appears Delany is already thinking that the one division format is viable. I hope it happens. Then they could go to more equitable or random rotation.

Thank you and you're welcome.While I can appreciate the efforts put in this thread, I now have a severe headache
If the NCAA ever takes over the playoff instead of who runs it now...I believe FBS football is the only NCAA sport that does not have a championship run by the NCAA.....you will have 10 automatic bids and then at larges from there....every other division of college football has all conference champions with automatic bids.
Part of why I fell in love with College Football was that every week mattered. The regular season was the equivalent of March Madness and any team could potentially be knocked out any week.We've beaten this stuff like a dead horse, but one more time here, this is what needs to happen.
8 Team Playoff
5 Conference Champions - Each conference can decide their own parameters for their Champion.
3 At Large Bids
Playoff Committee gets to decide the 3 At-Large Bids & Seeding 1-8.
(2019 Season Scheduling)
Conference Championships - December 7th
1st RD Playoffs - December 14th - On College Campuses (high seed hosts)
Semi-Finals - December 28th
Championship - SATURDAY, January 4th.
KThose are two fundamentally different issues. The entertainment value of a tournament or football playoff is completely different than determining which teams should be there.
I like Adam Carriker Idea. Play the bowls first then use results of bowls to help decide playoff contenders. However many that may end up being.Wouldn’t a 8 team playoff benefit teams that stockpile pure talent like Alabama and Clemson even more? Even if a UCF, Wisconsin, Washington, Etc. Win their first game, adding more games will add to the chances of injuries and general wear and tear that a team like Alabama or Clemson will just replace with another 5 star where others couldn’t.
The thing about the bowl games is it’s a one on one, one chance to see who is the better team that night. That’s why we remember the Boise State Statue of Liberty play. I think the 4-team playoff already basically killed the NY6 bowl games and turned them from the “grand-daddy of them all” to a meaningless exhibition game. Imagine 5 or 10 years ago if people would say that Georgia didn’t care about playing in the Sugar Bowl or that Ohio State squeaked a win because they weren’t motivated to play in the Rose Bowl.
Not saying that a 8 team playoff isn’t going to be fun to watch, I just don’t think it’s the slam dunk obvious best choice for college football.
Just my opinion!
