So we aren't going to talk about the CFP expanding to 12 teams?

I really like that they are doing it now. Before ND has their conversation with NBC and ACC for their upcoming contracts.

Like knowing what the landscape looks like.
 
Inevitable! Transfer portal, NIL deals, super conferences, and expanded playoffs.
College football has always changed and evolved, this isn't new,
Like @OldDevilDawg said, don't matter, still champin!
 
Things will change, the 12 team playoff will be 4 top 12 opponents in consecutive weeks. That's after conference championship games and end of year rivalries,
Possibly 7 tough games in a row.
I bet the schedulers will stop doing big OOC games early in the year. This is gonna be about perseverance and avoiding injuries, hell a 2nd half targeting penalty could fuck you, I guess it already does..
Gonna be interesting
 
There’s never been a legit case for 8 deserving teams in a given year. The only times that 4 wasn’t enough is when people can’t admit they were wrong about a team, and arbitrarily decide that it “deserves” a mulligan.

This diminishes the conference schedule and will lead to more garbage OOC games.

The assumption is that more “big” games is more money. This creates less big games, not more.
 
I think long term. It won't end. But it will diminish the CCG. And make it more of a consolation prize.

I know for years we have heard ESPiN twist that Conference Championsips matter. But then time and again see no conference champions get rewarded with playoff berths.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. But I think barring a massive change in the rules. Basically just guaranteed ND staying indy for a while

12-team College Football Playoff approved: How it looks, works and what comes next

ATHENS — The College Football Playoffs are officially expanding to 12 teams, possibly as early as the 2024 season, but for certain by 2026.

This is basically what I had been wanting minus it being "4 highest ranked conference champions" should instead just be the top 4.

Can you imagine a 5 seed Florida, LSU, etc playing in S Bend, Ann Arbor, Camp Randall in the 2nd / 3rd week of December.

Mind you it isn't usually terribly cold by then by our standards but it would be yours ;)

I think NiL and the transfer portal did more to kill CFB than this will. At this point it is a money grab for the rich to get richer.

Really my biggest thing to 'expanding the playoff' is why they ever thought that 4 was the correct number to start with. I mean no matter what CFB looks like right now or tomorrow, when this started there was 5 power conferences, and starting this with 4 meant that no matter what someone would get left out every year.

You don’t think so? I don’t think the B1G is ready to expand more and the SEC probably want to wait until OU/UT start playing to see how well that works out. I think this could save the PAC, since winning the conference pretty much guarantees a spot. Maybe not a bye week, but the P5s should all be in the top 6 conference champions. If the PAC decides to raid the MWC, it almost makes the American a guaranteed spot as well.

I think conference championships should count for something. I understand your point of view, but ND could at any time join a conference if the bye is important enough. Hell, the ACC would probably allow ND to keep their home game broadcasting rights to get them onboard.

yes changing that helps ND. But that isn’t really my point. If the goal is the best teams than the top 4 should be the top 4. Regardless of winning their conference. I can argue multiple times that the playoff committee has proven they don’t really care about that. The only ones that do are the people most likely to make money off of that platform (ie the conference commish).
