No, but it increases the number of upsets and Cinderellas
Like as emphatic as last night’s game was, we were a bad kick or fallen defender away from OSU getting run over by TCU….
or better playcalling from a repeat of The Game
Or Michigan/Georgia
Don’t forget how amazing the semis were, now you get 3x as many of them
I actually think this year we would have gotten terrible semi finals with a 12 team playoff. The bracket would have been, according to cbs:
Game 1: (9) Kansas State at (8) Tennessee - Tennessee rolls KSU
Game 2: (12) Tulane at (5) TCU - TCU rolls Tulane
Game 3: (10) USC at (7) Alabama - Alabama rolls USC
Game 4: (11) Penn State at (6) Ohio State - OSU rolls PSU
Quarterfinals
Game 5: (1) Georgia vs. Game 1 winner - Georgia/Tennessee rematch. we saw this game already, Georgia destroys them
Game 6: (4) Utah vs. Game 2 winner - Utah vs. TCU may have been competitive.
Game 7: (2) Michigan vs. Game 3 winner - Michigan/Alabama is going to go badly for Michigan
Game 8: (3) Clemson vs. Game 4 winner - this OSU is going to incinerate this year's Clemson team.
Then it's Georgia vs. Probably TCU - Annhilation. Alabama vs. OSU, based on the Georgia game, probably a good game, I'm not even going to call who wins.
Then Georgia vs. Ohio/Alabama. So it's probably a good title game with one probably good semi final.
IDK, that just seems like a whole lot of teams getting stomped versus the current system.
Year to year it's going to be different, but I think the expanded playoff is going to do more to calcify who wins every year more than it already is. It gives the larger players increased chances of getting in a position to win.

I think the final matchup is likely yes, but those games are fun
Tennessee without Hooker (his leg was crab-meated) means a gunner game and KSU win
Tulane/TCU is a great game, Tulane was a top-10 team this year and a blast to watch, they beat USC in one of the best bowls this year
USC/Bama is great because of the historic matchup and Bama’s penchant for shooting its dick off this year making it a /shrug
PSU/OSU is a fucking stinker we never need this game twice in a year, barely need it even once
Georgia/KSU probably not the best
Utah/TCU would have been fun, Tulane/Utah is just weird
Michigan vs Bama/USC is a real good game this year
OSU rolls Clemson, yes
That’s how I’d expect the games to go, but you’re probably going to get 1 or 2 upsets as well
The expanded playoff isn’t about giving more teams a shot at a title, it’s about creating more meaningful post-season games. You have to compare the fun of these playoff games vs the meaningless and dumb exhibition games most of these teams actually played in, it’s a giant fucking win vs the status quo
It also makes conference title races more meaningful for all but the B1G and SEC
*Me making Championship pick* well I guess I'll take TCU because my best chance is to pick against the group and maybe I'll finish a bit higher. And obviously everyone is going with Georgia, they'd be crazy not to
*Sees results*
Lol
LMAO
Thanks to Nirya and ASimPerson, been a ton of fun and some wacky results!

What? The playoff games will be more "meaningful" precisely because more teams will get a shot and all their outcomes impact the final result. The point of the playoff/tournament isn't to maximize the number of close score games, it's to determine a winner based on on-the-field results. All the meaningless bowl games are already set up to try to provide "fun" close scoring games. If that's really what you want you are arguing against any sort of playoff system.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

I like all the implicit assumptions in here about which team is better this season to prove your point
Like, I would in no way say Tennessee without Hooker is an auto win over KSU
Or that TCU autowins over Tulane
Bama over USC is pretty likely but not a guarantee with how Bama was this year
Only highly likely one is Ohio State over Penn State, which was pretty fucking close until the last few minutes
Hell the only surefire bad team on there is probably Clemson
That was in response to the implication that an expanded playoff wouldn’t have been fun because it most likely results in the same old outcome (Bama or Georgia win), and I was countering that even if 10 teams in the playoff aren’t serious contenders, it’s still better for the sport because it produces more meaningful games than the exhibitions that saw NFL prospects sit out of
Think about all the posts and fun during the semi games this year vs the dearth of posts during the whateverfuck bowl USC and Tulane played in- put that whateverfuck bowl on a quarters bracket though and we’re still talking about it today
We just watched TCU beat Michigan, who smacked OSU around, who possibly beats Georgia (if Day doesn't think a 50 yarder is a chip shot), who ANNIHILATED TCU.
The notion that any of these matchups are sure things is a bit lol.
Sure Georgia probably takes it all again, but let em decide it on the field, not in the selection committee room.
It may not be possible, but looking at the last 9 years, we have 3 close games and 6 un-watchable blowouts. Again, maybe there isn't a fix, but it would be nice if those were reversed with 3 blowouts and 6 close games.
Gonna be wishful here, but maybe the expanded Playoff, along with NIL, helps disperse talent.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that shakes out. Right now NIL and free transfers seems to be helping the rich get richer, but it's still very early in all of this and we don't have the expanded playoff component.
Bigger tournaments are fun because there’s more chances (games) for fun, interest, unexplained, or wild things to happen
The NCAA shouldn’t be worried that we need a tournament because we’re not finding the best teams in football each year (no issues with that list), they should do it because more fanbases and just fans in general will have more fun and spend more money on a bigger tournament
The law of averages says every now and then a Cinderella will emerge and win, and that’s cool, but the best team in the SEC is probably going to win it every year still because as yesterday showed in plain, brutal fashion, the talent disparity between Georgia/Bama and everyone else is always going to be almost insurmountable
The NCAA basketball tournament works because basketball fucks you up way less than college football does. The real reason not to do an extended college football tournament is because players still aren't seeing any of the profits the NCAA is going to make off of them.
That’s fine, I don’t think there’s a single team except for Bama this year (and maybe the “run it back” Buckeyes in the 2nd playoff but they hated each other and just wanted the season to end so they could all sign their agent deals) that has been left out of the playoff that would have won a game if they got in, the selection committee has never missed on including a team that had a chance to win it (the argument is teams that deserved a playoff game were left out and I *do* think that’s true, but then again the #4 seed has won twice including the most controversial the first year when it wasn’t OSU that should have been left out, TCU or Baylor should have been in over fraud-ass FSU)
A signee who does not attend the signing institution for at least one academic year (two semesters or
three quarters) must serve one academic year in residence and will lose one season of competition in all
sports upon enrollment at another NLI member institution.
Signees have two rounds of appeal they can go through if the school denies their initial release request.

No, signees now just whisper "Alston" to the NCAA's legal staff and watch them flee in abject terror.
Michigan's president is intervening to try to repair what seems like a pretty significant rift between Harbaugh and the athletic director. I think mostly about NIL but also assistant pay.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

Michigan played their worst game in two years and almost beat TCU anyway. Georgia...did not overlook TCU.
Michigan easily beat an OSU.
Georgia almost lost to an OSU.
TCU won a close game against Michigan.
TCU got ROFLstomped by Georgia.
There’s no transitive property that works here.

Also could a MAC school please just hire him? Like tomorrow?
No! He’s getting ready to take over for Day in 2025 when the Buckeyes go a whole recruiting class to graduation without beating Michigan
