Reply to comment by Paddlesons in College Football Playoff makes official 12-team expansion beginning in 2024-25 season by 0Ring-0

I disagree. Just look at this season. In my opinion, only two of the current playoff teams are really legitimate. UGA and UM. If half the teams that get into the 4 team playoffs don’t really deserve to be there, then I can’t even begin to imagine how much it will suck if there are 2 real teams and 10 teams are just there to lose to the bigger teams. This system almost guarantees more than one PAC 12 team in the playoff and that is simply asinine since I can’t think of a single PAC 12 school that would win more than 6 games in the SEC or BIG 10. It could also lead to another Cincinnati situation, and to be honest, I don’t think non power 5 schools should be able to make the playoff. Also, extending the season could be detrimental to player health as the regular season is already 12 games, and adding the potential for 6 more could lead to more injuries to players looking toward the NFL draft. This might mean that some players skip out on playoff games in favor of staying healthy for the draft.

6 extra games. How the hell do you get that? 12 teams. If a team ranked outside the top 4 wins it all that’s 4 extra games. For 1 team.

As for only 2 teams being deserving. That’s crazy. Yes OSU laid an egg against UM. So they don’t deserve a spot? TCU and USC haven’t played any games to really see how they’d stack up. AL lost 2 close games. There are a number of teams that would and could deserve a shot.

The system now with 4 is better than the old system with 2 and the new system with 12 will be better than the current one with 4.
