The College Football Playoff management committee will be meeting next week to decide on expanding to a 12-team playoff system.

Had we won the sun belt title game last year we would have been in the playoffs along with cincy. Oregon would have been left out
If this proposal gave each conference champion a shot at the brass ring, it would be great. But that won’t ever happen. This is just a way to make more money for the big schools and screw the smaller budget schools out of a piece of the pie.
Unless we are in a P5 conference we will always have the cards stacked against us, but this is a step in the right direction and gives G5 a guaranteed shot. The only true fair solution would be all 10 conference champs in, and equal profit sharing between conferences from the playoff revenue, but that will NEVER happen because it threatens the P5 gawds.
Been saying that for years. Do away with the bowl games and have a true playoff system. There are 10 Division 1 conferences. 12 teams playoff or even 16 team playoff would be great. So tired of 6-6 teams or worse making it to a bowl game. Bowl games have become participation trophies, like they give to the T-ball participants. Heck, why even keep score if everyone gets to participate.
Every year would mean something and there would be a true national champion. Until this happens, IMO, there has NEVER been a national champ yet. Hand picked opinion teams have always been allowed to play for a championship, but none of those have EVER had to earn it.
But just like I-49 extension through Lafayette, I will never see this happen in my life time.
They’ll never let all FBS conference champs have a seat at the table. This is about as good as we could have reasonably expected. It gives the finger to ND, ensures at least 1 G5 conference a playoff seat, allows higher ranked G5 non conference champions an opportunity for at-large selection, protects the regular season and gives schools opportunity to make big money with on campus playoff games. It also allows players to stay closer to home and good coaches (like the one we have now) to assemble and maintain coaching winning programs at non traditional football powers (G5).
This is a big deal. It’s a huge deal. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
RCFB - Okay, so now that we fixed the playoff next order of business is teams 13-24 in the NIT. All games at the Kibbie Dome.
It's a step in the right direction for sure. But if they are going from 4 teams to 12 teams, I'd like to see at least 2 G5 teams get in.
At large's are Independents. Liberty, BYU and Notre Dame do not play in conferences for Football. They should be required to do so if they want to be part of the NCAA FBS Playoffs. This would allow opportunity for another G5 program to qualify if they are ranked high enough.
