I don't know a lot about the proposals, but adding weeks to the current number of games seems like a strain on the bodies of players. TIA. I havent heard of any shortening of the regular season... yet. They are just shortening the time between the end of the regular season and the first CFP game. 63_Texas_1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 The BCS computed it's rankings and at 12 it is still needed, but beyond that a committee is needed. I believe that a committee will provide much more interesting matchups than a standard bracket. Soldierhorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dssl Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 As I understand it the current playoffs plan is 12 teams. That takes 4 weeks. I could see them going to 16, since it wouldn't take any longer, but I would be surprised if it goes beyond that. Personally I think 8 teams would have been perfect.

A committee could have prevented 2011 from happening but the BCS didnt have that type of oversight. a CFP committee screwed up 2014 by coming up with a made-up 13th data point criteria at the last minute. If you dont win your conference (2011 or 2014) you shouldnt be allowed to compete for the NC. People whined and cried so they tweaked the computer rankings and as a consequence, it allowed for two teams from the same conference to make the NC. Because people can NEVER be satisfied, 2011 should never have happened and it doomed the BCS. BCS was 2/3ds computer rankings (mostly correlated human polls). the AP & coaches (UPI) should not have had a full 1/3 influence since they were already represented in some of the computer rankings. Besides 2011, I cant think of a BCS NC matchup that I disagreed with and NC matchup was the whole point. UTfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 12 participant playoff, people can't claim SEC bias. java and Soldierhorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billybass Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Man, I can’t wait. IMO we should have the best team we’ve had in a long time that year.

That is the year we should be in the national title bracket I think this is dependent on our QB. If it is a first year Arch, I don't think we will compete for the national title. I would give bet against us making the playoffs. If it is a 3rd year Quinn, then we have a shot at making the playoffs. I just don't see a first year starter taking us deep in a playoff. We will be much improved but too many "rookie" mistakes at an important position will cost us games. Eastexhorn, UTfish and Sirhornsalot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be very good this year and in 2025 with Quinn and Arch both in their second year of starting. we have to win the big 12 this year. lshorn79 and Eastexhorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but he walked into a perfect scenario where Clemson was the second best or best program in college football. He had the pieces all around him. QE3 didn’t not but it’s certainly possible he will this year and Arch may his first year of starting. That’s the expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Lawrence was raw first year freshman,yes had good D but not offense. Lawrence had 65 % completion rate that hid no threat of run. QE had all American RB,promising TE,all American WR comin back,Worthy got frustrated he was overthrown so much. Should just said QE was shell shocked by Bama and was never same. 83Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
