Good point. I just think that a lot of people are tuning in to these games because they ARE essentially playoff games. If we expand to a 12 team playoff we are missing out on some of what makes CFB great.

Or we could have ACTUAL playoff games!

Sure. But then you have to wait till the end of the season to get that. Right now most weeks have a game that for all intents and purposes, is a playoff game.

Conference championships will mean more if they’re an auto-bid for the playoffs. As we saw this past weekend, didn’t even matter for TCU. KSU would’ve had a shot to play for a natty in a future iteration.

Regular season games will still matter. Yes, they won’t matter quite as much, and as someone that loves college football, that’s a bummer. But as someone who is a fan of a team who would make the final 4 probably never, now I feel my team will have a shot to make an expanded playoff. Anything can happen in a real playoff.

Game on
