The SEC and Big Ten may think they can break away but l they don’t understand the value of the other conferences bring to their TV revenue. They split away I have no interest in watching their games like I do today and I love college football. It is a beautiful mess.

Increase the playoff to 16-18 teams with each Power 5 conference team gets 4 teams. I would force ND into a conference and limit it to 16 teams but there are probably legal reasons why they couldn’t do that. Maybe Notre Dame bumps the lowest ranked team. In some years a conference may only get 3. Like this year they would take a 4 loss Louisville team. Have a play in game to include the best non power 5 team. They would play the 16th.

That gives everyone equal representation and all this conference crap is settled on the field.

Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee
Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, IU
Miami, SMU, Clemson, Louisville
Arizona State, Colorado, BYU, Kansas St
Notre Dame
Boise St or Tulane.

The conference would determine their 4 teams based of their own internal tie breakers.

This as clean as it gets. It also would reward teams for playing a tougher schedule when records are the same. It probably doesn’t change the end result initially but over time there will be other brands developed

This is silly. We are in no position to be paying yet another guy for NOT coaching, in addition to paying up for a new staff. Brohm has had two winning seasons. I believe he will beat UK this year, but even if he doesn’t he should not and will not be fired. His DC maybe, but he won’t.

They haven't beaten anybody. Not a horrible loss is not the criteria, at least it shouldn't be.

They haven't looked like a playoff team their last two games. They barely beat a 5 loss Michigan team. And their last game is the worst team on their conference schedule with Purdue.

So they're going to run the score up on Purdue like that means anything.

Depending on what happens next week, IU may get in just because they're in the Big 10, despite their schedule results that look more like Tulane's or Toledo's and does anyone think either of those teams would get in with one loss?

Some of what you say is true, but it doesn't matter, the CFP had them up to 5th in their rankings, they lost to the number 2 team in the country on their home field. They're not going to drop them 8 spots on that loss.

Every season will be a new challenge. I'm pretty sure I could not coach a basically brand new team each season.

Not hard to look back at the season and see how close JB has us to crashing the playoff in just 2 seasons. The Stanford game is an outlier in my opinion. If you throw that one out,we're half a dozen plays from being in the conversation about the playoff.

Tbs, there's one major hurdle left in front of JB this season before him and Heird have to figure out how to keep the young stars on this team together,build on it and make a serious run next season.

He's done fairly well I'd say,and along the way he's energized the fanbase. We need this next big hurdle as a Program,then we think about building for the run.

Brohm is 12-5 in ACC play, through 2 complete seasons. 7-2 in 2023; 5-3 in 2024

Plus 1-1 vs Notre Dame.

IU is solidly in.. They went into that game ranked 5th, no way they drop all the way out. I mean damn, they lost to the number 2 team in the country on their home field. Not exactly a horrible loss..

Great post!

I wish it would resolve the way you describe, but with the SEC and Big Ten in charge, there is no Power5 - there’s only a Power 2. And they’ve already decided that they want 4 spots in the playoffs for each conference, and they will decide by their own tiebreakers which 4 teams go to the playoffs.

Also sounds like for the other 4-6 spots in the playoffs, they are okay with giving those spots to other conference champions and/or teams with the highest W/L records, with an NFL style tiebreaker system. So they are very interested in getting rid of the committee, which has been a lightning rod for criticism - and deservedly so.
