College football is going to have to expand the playoffs. The current system is no longer sustainable. The gap between the 6 top teams is getting wider every year. The regular season argument doesn’t hold water any more....how many times do we need to see Clemson-Alabama taking up 2 spots?
Expand the playoffs to 16 teams and maybe 32. Each round could have a title sponsor.
This admittedly is looking through a Louisville lens. The majority of coaches that left wanted a better shot at winning a title. The majority of players want a shot at a national title. The exclusive nature of the previous and current playoff system limits programs like Louisville. No way to sustain. The only reason Stoops is still at UK is because he hasn’t been able to maintain success. Allen at Indiana if he follows up this year with another good year he is gone.
The bowl games are equivalent to a dog sitting around the dinner table waiting for the scraps. The dog will always come back but he will never have a seat at the table. They were created to make everyone feel better at the end of the year. Greed is the only reason everyone in P5 has agreed to this current system.
A true playoff system would at least tilt the playing field. I am not naive enough to believe the top 10 would change however I do believe the gap would be smaller.
