Agree. Top 16 teams, no byes, first two rounds at home of higher seed. How the top 16 are picked can be debated forever. The CFP rankings are supposed to be doing it. I would be for not having any polls until the CFP poll. If it needs to be tweaked, do so.

There is literally no way to force the AP to not do a poll
 


Some guy said:
If you did. 16 with those 11 getting bids.
Then make a stipulation that if X happens you lose your auto bids…that’s best model.


Auto bid for any conference champ with 2 or fewer losses

Auto bid for any conference champ in top 25

Etc

I like the former better. I don't want auto bids to be based on ranking.
And if someone wins the SEC or B1G with three losses, they lose their autobid as well. I firmly think all the conferences need to be treated equally with regards to the playoffs.

Agree but don’t think it’s happening
 



Still too much brand recognition in the current standings and it will be interesting to see where we land a month from now.

Interesting that MN is supposedly eliminated from contention, but some say Illinois is not. If both ended up 9-3 and one was in conversation and one wasn't that would see odd.

MN 9-3 with loses to tOSU, Iowa, and California. (Wins over Oregon, Nebraska and Northwestern)
ILL 9-3 with losses to tOSU, Indiana and Washington. (Wins over USC, Northwestern, and Duke)

The 6-3 field. #21 Iowa and #23 Tennessee


Minnesota
Illinois
Nebraska 7-3
Washington
Missouri
SMU 7-3
Wake Forest
ASU
Arizona
TCU

Pretty good analysis.

I hate espn fpi but espn has Minnesota as a 1% chance of winning out and a 0% chance of playoff.



Minnesota beats Oregon
Michigan beats northwestern
USC beats Iowa
Illinois beats Maryland
Washington beats Purdue


Next week
Oregon beats USC
Michigan beats Maryland
Nebraska beats Penn state
Iowa beats Michigan State
Minnesota beats northwestern
Washington beats UCLA
Illinois beats Wisconsin

Final week
Iowa beats Nebraska
Oregon beats Washington
Minnesota beats Wisconsin
Ohio state beats Michigan
Illinois beats northwestern

Final big ten standings:
Ohio State 9-0
Indiana 9-0
Minnesota 7-2 (beat Oregon, 1-0 in 4 way tie)
Oregon 7-2 (beat USC, 1-1 in 4 way tie)
USC 7-2 (beat Michigan, 1-1 in 4 way tie)
Michigan 7-2 (0-1 in 4 way tie)
Illinois 6-3
Iowa 6-3
Nebraska 5-4
Washington 5-4

I think Oregon or Minnesota is the third playoff team In this scenario. The other 3 all have a non conference loss. it’s Oregon if Minnesota is so far back they’re never directly compared. But if they get within 5 spots head to head in November makes a difference.

We would be kicking ourselves for cal game.




The only unrealistic part of the games I listed above is the gophers going 3-0 😂.

Gophers go 2-1 and you really want Illinois to drop a game and Michigan to make playoff for bowl reasons.

Gophers go 1-2 and I guess it doesn’t really matters what happens

I like the 12 team playoff with first four selected by ranking and having byes as is currently the case, BUT would prefer MORE auto bids. I don't need to see the 4th ranked B1G or SEC team get in. If you can't even MAKE your conference title game in the P2, I'm OK if you lose your shot. Like others have said, make the regular season games, especially in your conference, mean more. Give me teams that rarely make it from non-P4 leagues. With the talent being more spread out, I think we'll see more upsets, not tons, but more especially by giving the top four a bye. That eliminates the very best teams that might really stomp on a lower level opponent. Plus, you should make more money involving more fan bases throughout FBS in the championship. If you're a really good third place SEC or B1G team, you'll get one of the at large bids anyway. I'd say something like seven auto bids (instead of the current five) and five at large (instead of seven).

How would that change this year's playoff?

Autobids - Ohio State, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Miami, South Florida, James Madison (new), San Diego State (new)

Byes stay the same - Ohio State, Texas A&M, Indiana, Alabama

Teams that get kicked out because of two new auto bids - Texas & Notre Dame - AWESOME! Texas is the FIFTH best SEC team. Do we really need the fifth best team in a conference in the playoff? So stupid!

First round games - San Diego St (#44 CBS ranking) at Georgia (#5), James Madison (#27 CBS ranking) at Texas Tech (#6), South Florida (#24) at Ole Miss (#7), Miami (#15) at Oregon (#8).

Basically, San Diego St is ranked similar to Minnesota so it's like Minnesota playing Georgia which means an upset is very unlikely, but possible. Ole Miss barely beat Washington State so South Florida definitely has a chance and now they are playing #7 Ole Miss instead of #5 Georgia in the current format. This is worth noting. Generally speaking in the current format, the sole G5 team will often be ranked #12 and will play the best team not getting a bye. In this new format, the best G5 team would play the third best non-bye team increasing their chances of an upset AND the G5 would have two more additional chances of a historic upset. March Madness has pretty much been eliminated from basketball because of NIL, let's add a larger chance of it in football. That drives ratings!

Changes that might result from this set up. Notre Dame finally joins a conference and beefs up its schedule because at large bids are harder to come by. Some teams defect from the AAC which is by far the best G5 league for a better chance at an auto bid from a lessor conference.
