CFP to expand to 12 team playoff sometime between 2024 and 2026

And the bottom 6 picked will rarely advance......
Yup...add in more injuries. I can see more and more players opting out if eligible for the NFL.
Any bye weeks?
Actually, I think the much more likely scenario is that the bottom 6 will pick off the occasional serious contender, setting up some real dud matchups in later rounds. We all want to see the 13-0 team play the other 13-0 team, but now we're going to see the undefeated team beat a 3-loss team in the championship game by 30 points.
Yes, good thing that was eliminated when they expanded the filed to 64 in MBB.
Wait, What's that you say ? There are schools who whine when they didn't get invited to the tournament ?
And you say that USCe was one of them at one time ?
Ok, never mind, let's carry on.
I`m all for it. Why should we put up with Clemson having a legitimate shot every year due to their weak ACC schedule. At least this way they would have to beat, what, at least 3, maybe 4 good teams to win it all? That`s more than they may play in a whole season. That`s the thing about football. With so few games, there is such inequity in scheduling at least that will even out somewhat. Why do you think Mark Stoops wants to keep the SEC schedule at 8 games vs. playing 9. Poor Mark will have to give up one of his cupcake W`s. Hell, he doesn`t even want to play Louisville. Don`t bother - I know we need to start beating them but what I said is true. And why do you think ACC Commish put an end to the playoff talks earlier when Sankey thought it would pass? Hurts the ACC`s only chance, at least at this point, to get a team in the playoffs. He hoped it would stay at 4.

Should stay it four. It works. Those lower ranked teams don't measure up. Just a run at more money. And I suppose the football addicts will have a couple more games to watch.
In the history of college football how many times has a team not ranked in the top 4 been a legit title contender?
And, yes, all this will do is lead to teams 13-20 whining about being left out.

Yes, the CFP has a 100% success rate for identifying the best team in the country.
I get the initial reaction to the expanded format, but looking at the the end of regular season rankings from last year, that sentiment doesn't appear very sound.
I could have seen at least 5 advancing definitely 1 and possibly 2 games. At that point anything is possible.
1) Bama
2) Michigan
3) UGA
4) Cincy
5) Notre Dame
6) Baylor
7) O$U
8) Ole Miss
9) OK State
10) UTAH
11) Michigan state
12) BYU
I get your point on clemson having a harder road, but you end with saying it hurts the acc's chances of getting a team in the playoffs. Did you mean of getting a team in the championship game? Because this just helped their chances of getting in the playoffs since they don't have to be top 4 every year.
not a fan of the 6 top conferences getting automatic bids, why not just have the 12 best teams regardless of conference
