Seriously. Do away with the conference championship nonsense. Take the top 16 seeded teams. Start play before XMAS. Give home field advantage in first round. Use the major bowl games for the second round.

This doesn't need to be that difficult.

Imposing corporate abuse, neglect and greed on deserving victims.

The SEC and B10 want 8 auto bids? - AlbanyIRISH - 6:24pm 2/18/25 (21) [View All]
- Leave it at 12. Eliminate the auto byes. The season is long enough as it is. [NT] - Frank L - 8:46pm 2/25/25
- Most seasons, there will be 4 teams from these conferences in the Top 16. - jakers - 3:26pm 2/21/25
- This is just dumb and is 100% anti-definition of a playoff. Money hungry leagues. [NT] - oldirish - 10:00pm 2/19/25

  - 4 auto bids each is too much..3 each plus 2 each for ACC/B12 is more than fair.. - Chrisb - 8:32pm 2/19/25

- The remaining schools should peel off, take the NCAA with them, and start a competing league. - LanceManion - 7:53am 2/19/25
  - the NCAA presided over this mess, I'd get rid. of them [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 4:34pm 2/19/25
    - Taking the NCAA is more mercenary - strip UM of stallion cheating Ws [NT] - LanceManion - 7:25pm 2/19/25
- Why not? Anything to cheapen the regular season. That is the trend for College FB. [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 12:14am 2/19/25

  - Who cares who else is in, if the Irish are in. - murph92675 - 7:02pm 2/18/25
    - But you can't only look at this year, you have to look at the whole picture..consider this - Chrisb - 8:26am 2/21/25
      - 16 is definitely most ideal for Notre Dame (short of joining a conference). - jakers - 3:42pm 2/21/25

    - I'm the lone voice saying 12 is too much as it is. Unless we enjoy first round wipe outs. [NT] - ELP - 8:04am 2/20/25
