  • The 13th data point will become irrelevant once the playoffs are expanded. That could happen soon. - NDavenue - 9:06am 11/28/18 (47) [View All]
    • If it expands to 8 teams I would like to see something along the following... - Bnieves - 2:28pm 11/28/18
      • This "Power Five" and "Group of Five" separation is bogus to me - MarkHarman - 9:52pm 11/28/18
      • A three-loss Pac 12 team would still get the auto-bid this season. - Napoleon - 3:13pm 11/28/18
    • I don't agree that the conference champion should get in automatically. Keep it as it is. - MrP - 9:45am 11/28/18
      • Then why have conferences? - D2 - 1:08pm 11/28/18
        • Agreed. Let's get rid of conferences. [NT] - ChicagoIrish - 3:05pm 11/28/18
        • Problem is, you truly don't have the top teams playing for the championship in this scenario. - MrP - 2:55pm 11/28/18
          • I'm still confused how auto ins erode the value of conference championship - D2 - 6:05pm 11/28/18
            • I was wondering why you were referencing auto insurance there for a second... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 9:01am 11/29/18
        • That makes a lot of sense. [NT] - NDavenue - 1:29pm 11/28/18
      • Disagree. It actually makes teams more willing to schedule ND. - NDavenue - 10:48am 11/28/18
        • If the only thing that matter is conference play, why would you not schedule easy teams? - MrP - 2:56pm 11/28/18
          • Your logic is inverted. - D2 - 1:14pm 11/29/18
          • Money? The same reason they do anything. [NT] - NDavenue - 3:44pm 11/28/18
    • No, it couldn't happen soon - Nigel Tufnel - 9:37am 11/28/18
      • Again, you DON'T award spots to the Top 8. So no, Michigan would not be in. - NDavenue - 10:44am 11/28/18
        • And what if your conference sucks? - Nigel Tufnel - 10:56am 11/28/18
          • Apparently it doesn't matter. 9-3 Washington should be "in" and 11-1 Georgia should be "out." - Napoleon - 12:11pm 11/28/18
            • And Potentially a 8-5 Pitt team could be in. - MrP - 2:59pm 11/28/18
    • If they move to 8 teams, I don't think it will be good for ND - NDNEIL - 9:33am 11/28/18
      • Disagree. ND would only have to be top 8. The pie gets bigger. Plus.. - NDavenue - 10:35am 11/28/18
        • Who would have gotten that non-Power 5 guaranteed spot in 2016? - Napoleon - 11:57am 11/28/18
          • Western Michigan was 13-0 and ranked #12 - Mayes1 - 12:53pm 11/28/18
            • And? - Napoleon - 2:12pm 11/28/18
              • You implied there wasn't a UCF type of team that year, but there was - Mayes1 - 3:18pm 11/28/18
                • Not really. - Napoleon - 4:06pm 11/28/18
                  • 2016 WMU and 2017 UCF are in the same ballpark - Mayes1 - 5:59pm 11/28/18
                    • Only in that neither belonged in a playoff. Beyond that, you’re missing the point. - Napoleon - 6:22pm 11/28/18
                      • To reiterate... - Mayes1 - 4:52pm 11/29/18
          • Then Western Michigan it is. Cinderella story! [NT] - NDavenue - 12:01pm 11/28/18
        • Top 8 doesn't matter with auto bids - NDNEIL - 11:21am 11/28/18
    • If it expands to 8, there would still be crying over who is left out. Also, this year at least two - Napoleon - 9:21am 11/28/18
      • Also some difficulty in getting fan bases to travel to 3 post-season venues... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 9:31am 11/28/18
      • You just don't give the spots to the top 8 teams. Expand to six and... - NDavenue - 9:29am 11/28/18
        • So, if we had the 6 format, three-loss UW or Utah is in. But either ND or Bama is out, if UGA wins. - Napoleon - 9:52am 11/28/18
          • You eliminate the conference championship games. [NT] - NDavenue - 10:37am 11/28/18
            • Wait. You eliminate conference championship games but give the conference champs an "in?" - Napoleon - 10:54am 11/28/18
              • Figure out a way to do it without divisions. Use tie breakers. It's not difficult. [NT] - NDavenue - 11:29am 11/28/18
                • Actually it is difficult. There are 14 teams in the SEC. For example. - Napoleon - 11:50am 11/28/18
                  • I just looked. The Big10 played 8 conference games (in an 11 team conference). [NT] - NDavenue - 12:10pm 11/28/18
                    • So what? [NT] - Napoleon - 12:15pm 11/28/18
                      • You argued that it's too difficult to name a champion if you done play everyone. That's wrong. - NDavenue - 12:20pm 11/28/18
                        • It is more difficult with 14 teams. That's the point. - Napoleon - 12:35pm 11/28/18
                  • They didn't all play each other before championship games started did they? [NT] - NDavenue - 12:03pm 11/28/18
                    • Sometimes they did. Like the old Big 8. Expansion and the idea of two divisions goes hand-in-hand. - Napoleon - 12:09pm 11/28/18
                      • No, I don't see a problem with it. And I don't think the PAC12 or Big12 would disagree. - NDavenue - 12:18pm 11/28/18
                        • Of course the conferences would love guaranteed spots. - Napoleon - 12:26pm 11/28/18
