Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted January 21 "This is the trade-off college football has made with Playoff expansion. More than half the programs in FBS can enter every season with reasonable hope they can be part of this tournament if everything breaks right. But the universe of teams that have enough depth to survive three or four Playoff games while also having the firepower to take down a monster is always going to be very, very small." Very, very true. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Duck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted January 21 With a proper format the CFP could be as challenging and exciting as "March Madness" The idea of not having your team eliminated by a loss in September should be a good one. Having better players and coaches should give a team an advantage in winning a championship. The regular season has to still be important. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
