A close game does them no favors. You have no idea how much I'm rooting for the Hokies right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorceressKnight Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 3 hours ago, alstein said: I'd like the NCAA just reorganize the conferences: have 7 conferences of 10, and allow ND+ the Service Academies to be independent, with a guarantee in if they're top 8 and best independent, otherwise that spot goes to best non-conference champion, and an 8team playoff: The conferences would be rejiggered to bring back old rivalries, Maryland would go back to the ACC, Missouri to the Big 8, etc. Utah and BYU get thrown into the old Big 8 to bring it to 10 the SWC would return A lot of the old Big East schools would be back in a conference, alongside some misfits like South Carolina No more conf championships. 1st round of playoffs would be 1st weekend of Dec. Semifinals would be NYD, Final would be first Monday after 1/7. Everyone else goes to FBS: 8 teams in this scenario would still matter because the conf championships would be the only guaranteed way in outside of the wild-card spot, and even there a Navy or a Notre Dame sneaking into the top 8 could mean no wild card. IF you're doing that. then it'd be easier to just do the opposite: Pick the top 8 programs/biggest FCS schools to get up to 128 teams. Reorganize everyone into 8 16-team conferences (and everyone- Service Academies, Notre Dame, everyone). 8-team tournament, only conference champions need apply (but with conference title games, it's "really" a 16-team tournament with the conference title games as the first round games.).

Niners Fan in CT Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I don't see how anything can change. Washington blew out the #8 team. Clemson won their conference against a ranked opponent. Ohio St. was said to be a cut above them prior to this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 21 combined points separate the Badgers from potentially being 13-0. Argh. We'd probably still lose by 50 to Bama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Penn State theoretically has an argument to get in, but if they start going down the "they beat Ohio State" path, it leads to thorns. I highly doubt much changes. Washington might jump Clemson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 If you are sick to your stomach about rape truthers/apologists who think THEY and their fucking football team are victims celebrating think of this: Temple won it's first ever major conference title today. They were the opponent when Ped State honored that vile jellyfish of a man. The Temple fans responded to this sickening scene by turning their backs on it and jeering. So as sick as you may feel also be glad that good things can still happen to good people. Go Owls!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 This is one of those years a tournament isn't necessary. I mean of course they can't just cancel it one year and I like the tournament, but Alabama is just going to crush everyone anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too many top-flight football schools right now period, and it's gonna get worse as the youth levels continue to dry up. Cutting down the number of programs will keep the sport alive longer by increasing quality. 74 is a decent number. It will suck for the Boise States and East Carolinas of the world, but FBS still exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Okay, but everyone here realizes that the NCAA doesn't actually have the power to reorganize anything, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 They can throw influence and money around, that's about it. If this CBS Sports prediction comes true, it will be Western Michigan vs Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl. I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
