I love the 12 team playoff, hate the super conferences.

If you look at the top of the conference standings, it's difficult to see how a conference champion can be properly determined with so many teams that don't play each other.

ACC: SMU, CLEM, MIA - these 3 teams didn't play each other at all.
B12: ASU, ISU, BYU, COL - all 4 teams sitting at 2 conf losses, how do you pick the top 2?
B1G: ORE, OSU, PSU, IND - ORE beat OSU by 1pt at home, didn't face the other 2. PSU and IN's entire resume is weak, both having lost to OSU. But what happens if MI beats OSU next week? Who plays ORE?
SEC: TEX, UGA, TEN, ATM - if ATM were to beat TEX next week, we have some serious issues determining who should go to CCG.

So among the mess described above, you're going to have 4 auto bids with first round byes? Doesn't seem just.

    • The conferences really need to go away and they need to have divisions - LanceManion - 8:47am 11/24/24
      • 8 8-team divisions, in which everyone plays each other? - iairishcheeks - 8:51am 11/24/24
        • Good idea. Big unknown is the bidding war for players. Will it be like the U.S. economy... - SteveM - 9:22am 11/24/24
          • That's where I like the portal (promotes parity), hate NIL. - iairishcheeks - 9:27am 11/24/24
        • That works. Would also leave room for historic rivalry games. - LanceManion - 8:59am 11/24/24
