Hey Army, Navy and Air Force are all bowl eligible and Notre Dame is not. A good day, if I may say so.

I've always thought 8 was the right number. Take the conference champions from each of the Power 5 conferences, the highest rated Group of 5 champion, and the top two non-conference champions.

If this were the case, assuming the higher seeded teams win out, you'd likely have the following playoff:

1. Alabama (SEC) v. 8. Western Michigan (Group of 5)
2. Ohio State (At-large) v. 7. Michigan (At-large)
3. Clemson (ACC) v. 6. Oklahoma (Big 12)
4. Washington (Pac 12) v. 5. Wisconsin (B1G)

Who is we? The power 5 drive this thing. If they want 8, it will eventually happen.

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio state
4. Penn state/wisconsin

The only two undefeated teams in the country...not too shabby. People said the same thing when Utah played Alabama in the Sugar Bowl a few years ago, and the Utes smoked Alabama. That's the beauty of the playoff...the teams decide who is the best.
 
Re: College Football 2016-17: Destination Tampa

I'm with Scooby. If you're eighth best, you don't deserve a shot.
 
Re: College Football 2016-17: Destination Tampa

Why does the FCS do 16 or 24? Whatever it is. I wouldn't mind 8 but certainly no more than that. One concern would be fans traveling to neutral site three straight weeks. If you went to 8, maybe QFs on campus.

Growing up in a Michigan household, I'm just used to the Wolverines being overrated. And I dislike Harbaugh's gigantic ego, even if he wins more than he loses.

Having lived here for a while- I'm trying to figure out what Harbaugh's giant ego looks like. People have brought that up many times, and I don't see it. Unlike most coaches- he's not taking credit for wins- he lets the players do that, and he never blames the players in public. His one "controversy" at the beginning of the season had the result of taking heat off of players who were in trouble.

So I'm not sure what you really mean. (I'm being honest- please post some things that show what you mean- just curious)

They're probably properly rated now. I do wonder how long harbaugh stays though. Always gonna be NFL rumors.

People talk stuff all the time. I wonder it's a thing that people WANT to think that NFL>NCAA. Just because. But many forget that the number of people who watch college football games >>> NFL.

If anything, Harbaugh does a great job keeping the press at bay, and frustrating them to no end.

So they're going to leave out a potentially one loss, conference champion Washington? If there is any team that should be left out it's OSU. No conference championship, no dice.

I can't give examples - it's truthiness. :)

I observe Harbaugh, and I just don't like his personality. I think he's a whiner with a big ego. Is that fair? Probably not.
