Just announced..FB Big Wheels & Presidents/AD’s ready to discuss 8 Team Playoff!

Should get interesting..even though the 4 Team Playoff Schedule is only half-way thru its contract.
Seens UCF people are pushing this scenario.
As Barret Sallee of CBS Sports said: “It should be Excellence first vs Accessibility second” and why more than present 4 if that’s the criteria. .or maybe 6.
I like 6.

I don't see how they are going to make this work during exam

time for these student athletes. They may look at getting rid of the conference championship games, which I wouldn't like.

Doubt they'd get rid of those games. They'd likely just get rid of one of the FCS or Cupcake games, as that seems to be what people complain about the most across all conferences.
For instance, if it were to begin next season, Clemson would be dropping either Wofford or Charlotte in favor of an extra game free.

Clemson has to play 2 in state teams a year so we would still be required to play Wofford, Furman, CSU, The Citadel, SC State etc. Oh or that Columbia college that always thinks their good until they actually have to play. So I would expect Ga st, Charlotte those kinds of things to be dropped.

I'm not sure they are REQUIRED to as much as they tend to "like" to. The only protected rivalries out of conference/division are Georgia Tech and South Carolina. It would make more sense to cut FBS-G5 school as the payouts are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than paying an in-state school. Theres caveats to cutting G5 teams from the schedule, though, because of the whole "they played nobody" crap. It would get even worse if your 2nd out of conference game was an FCS school.

I don’t think we are required, I think Clemson and Carolina plan to play two fcs schools and it’s more like common sense to help smaller instate schools

There is no requirement that we play 2 state schools

Or any combination of FCS or G5’s out of conference. The problem is if we don’t then we have to give up a 7th home game which we have been adamantly against along with a lot of other schools due to $.
Changes to format could have a real negative effect on what is currently a great non-conf schedule through early 2030’s

why are exams in FBS more important than FCS?

FCS has had 16 teams for years.
The best 8 team playoff scenario that makes some sense...
1. Do away w Divisions in Conferences
2. Do away w Conference Champ game but replace with a qtr final game at former conf Champ site and keep on same conf affiliated networks. Keeps revenue coming to conf.
3. Top 4 Seed host qtr final at site of respective conference. Example WVU vs Clemson in Charlotte.
4. Winners advance into current semi final format.
Made sense when I heard it and it protects the Conference “Champ” game by allowing the revenue to come host conf and keeps 12 game season intact.

Championship with 14 teams without divisions. The schedules would vary way to widely.

In my opinion, they will need to eliminate a game or two for this to work. These are student athletes after all, and the season will be too long.

I am all for an expanded playoff, for various reasons. But - I feel all this will lead to is 2-3 SEC teams in every single year. Because "eye test".

That wouldn’t bother me at all....
We can finally watch them play the quality teams from other conferences and get exposed

Yea, truth be told - this decision is less about UCF, more about UGA.

So Kirk and ESPN just won't let it go - huh? What a bunch of whiny babies. 4 is plenty, but all 4 must win their CC game, and if they don't play in a conference, then they need to shut up already.

This will make college ball like pro ball. You can rest your starters late in the season because you can still get in with two losses.
