We have a lot of bad football in our future

AFAIK, there has only been one competitive semi (UGA vs OK) since the inception of the CFP. The rest have been uninteresting boring blowouts. Well, it's about to get worse.
College football is not college basketball. It just isn't. In basketball, you can win a natty with 8 good players. In football, allowing for injuries and substitutions, you need 35-40 ballers. In a given year, only two or three, at most four, teams have a shot at a natty. A Gof5 team is never going to win a natty, not even close. There simply are no cinderella's in football. So now, regular season games like UGA/CU won't really be all that big because one loss, maybe even two, is very survivable. And actually, it might even be a slight disadvantage to win a close regular season game over a top 5 team because it makes it that much tougher to win the same game later in the playoffs.
Oh well, Bill Hancock lost my number and was unable to consult me before this ill-advised expansion was approved.
My guess is there is not any team not in the current 2022 preseason top 15 that will win a natty during the next ten years. It just takes too much money. One more time for those in the back row, football is not basketball.

They honestly don’t care at all about games being close. More games = more money.

Based on last year our first round games woulda been ND vs Pitt, 0310 State vs Utah, Baylor vs MSU, and Ole Mi$$ vs the fighting Grundys. I would sign up to watch all of those games. The tree nuts beat Utah in the rose bowl last year so we can assume they woulda made it to the next round which means we woulda gotten to see them against one of the top 4. The way their offense was rolling (blizzard game against Meeechigan excluded) they coulda won it all if they had gotten in.

Most years teams in the 10-12 range have 3-4 losses
Sep 2, 2022, 7:56 PM

And have absolutely no business in a playoff and competitively don not belong on the same field as top 5 teams. Its going to be hideous.

When one considers 1-loss teams that had a key player out, let's not pretend having a full squad won't make a difference. Further, let's not lose sight that additional teams diminish bias within the selection committee. Lastly, money talks...don't pretend it doesn't. This outcome has been pre-ordained since 2014.
There's a LOT of bad regular season football. Drop one, give me a playoff game instead...at least the quality of bad goes up. (Did I REALLY say that?)

Bill Hancock was not for this expansion ...

Hancock is retiring and held off expansion as long as he could. I saw Hancock speak at the Savannah QB Club about 5-6 years ago. He was not for expansion. This is the college presidents and conferences -- and sure it's about money (not a slight), and every conference getting a trophy (place in the playoffs.) This country was built on capitalism.
Twelve team breakdown projection -- ACC Champ, B1G Champ, BIG 12 Champ, PAC-12 Champ, SEC Champ, and either the AAC (Cincy/Houston) or Sun Belt (LA/Coastal/App St) or Mountain West Champ (Utah St/San Diego St). Note the PAC-12 rated as conference 8 and there will be conf. shifts TBD. Then add more 1-22 SEC teams, 1-2 more B1G team, Notre Dame (if competent), and up to 2 more teams from all other conferences.
A twelve game regular season and a four game playoff to win it all -- as Dabo sez "this is not college, this is pro playoffs football."

2020 Clemson - Ohio State was an incredible game

But I expect the good playoff games will be the first round games between the 5-12 teams and then the 2nd round games 4 vs 5/12 and 3 vs 6/11.
There's often 1 or 2 really elite teams capable of blowing everyone else out, but I don't think we will see nearly that much separation between those 2nd and 3rd tier teams.
