No one is saying we should move towards what the NFL is doing with nearly half the league in the playoffs. I'm just trying to illustrate the huge difference between where they are compared to where we'll be with 16 (which is the max I think we should go to).

By comparison to what NFL does, CFB would need to put in about 58 teams for a comparable %...16 is not in the same Universe.

If you hate it that's fine, it's your perspective, but just know it's about your personal bias not anything quantitative about the level of teams getting into a 16 team Playoff

- I like the 5+11 better, but considering the initial idea they floated was 5-5-2-2-1-1 - Chrisb - 4:26pm 6/7/25
- The issue here is auto bids for teams that might not be near the top 15 - ndphysics - 12:12pm 6/7/25
