Of course that will all change when they more than likely expand the playoffs this offseason.
Ah, the stadium conflict possibility.wildcats20;1692978 wrote:The Championship is always a Monday. They won't play it on the weekend because of stadium conflicts. Next year it is in Arizona and the year after it's in Tampa.
Makes sense. I would imagine they most likely prefer it to be indoors as well.wildcats20;1692981 wrote:In order to even put a stadiums name in the hat to hold the championship, it has to seat 65K. So that narrows it down to all but just a few NFL stadiums.

Where have you read that expanding the playoffs for next season is even a possibility?wildcats20;1692985 wrote:No.
It's my opinion. Maybe not THIS offseason, but it won't be long.like_that;1692986 wrote:Where have you read that expanding the playoffs for next season is even a possibility?
It took them long enough to even bring a playoff, I bet it will be awhile before we see expansion.wildcats20;1692987 wrote:It's my opinion. Maybe not THIS offseason, but it won't be long.
The initial numbers were huge as well as the $$ it was generated. It will be a done deal, but I think it may take a few years to get expanded.wildcats20;1692987 wrote:It's my opinion. Maybe not THIS offseason, but it won't be long.
Agreed. I think we see at least 4-5 years of the current format.thavoice;1692989 wrote:The initial numbers were huge as well as the $$ it was generated. It will be a done deal, but I think it may take a few years to get expanded.
I think they are going to enjoy the record ratings for a few years.Automatik;1692992 wrote:Agreed. I think we see at least 4-5 years of the current format.
They will move it to 6-8 after the SEC gets left out of the top 4...Sonofanump;1693012 wrote:I can't forsee the Big12 and ACC being happy being the odd conference out every other year. Can't fit 5 into 4.
My ultimate hope is for an 8 team playoff with the rule if you win the title game, you are in. If you lose, you can still qualify, but 6 power conference winners are automatic. Creates a collagee basketball like feel (which is why I want this and no one else would lol). This makes it, essentially, a 14 team playoff.like_that;1693025 wrote:It would be cool to see an 8 team playoff with the first round being played at the higher seed's stadium. Would be an awesome atmosphere for college football.
I only consider 5 of the conferences a power conference.Laley23;1693031 wrote:My ultimate hope is for an 8 team playoff with the rule if you win the title game, you are in.
