There’s a lot of things to be talked about with the playoff structure but I think one of the stupidest things is that next year the new Notre Dame rule comes into effect and that shit is stupid.

Yup. The lengths that CFB goes to coddle ND is ridiculous.

I do like getting rid of the first round bye but if they’re gonna do that I honestly also hope they let first 2 rounds be home games and leave the semi finals to be a big bowl game.

The problem with that is that a lot of the bowls (the people that own the playoffs) won’t like having to demote some of their games back to being non cfp games

I know they won’t like it but so many ppl keep saying the bowls don’t mean anything and I mean yeah xbox bowl and pinstripe bowl aren’t that much but if you do relegate like the Orange Bowl and obviously the Rose Bowl then those games still have a lot of prestige, history, and tradition. I’d like them to do what they did with the 4 team play off and just rotate them by year.

Those bowl committees will never let themselves get relegated though, the main phenomenon of people saying “bowl games are irrelevant” started with people opting out of the non-cfp bcs bowls
