[QUOTE="Dogfrog, post: 585788, member: 1924"] QUOTE(Cougar/Frog @ Jun 22 2010, 10:36 AM) [snapback]585780[/snapback] BrewingFrog is correct in the biggest problem with a playoff.

CGP has stated that this is his big concern with a playoff: that it would be less open than the current system. Of course, having a 16-team playoff would advert most of the problems associated with the 8-team playoff. But that is why it will never happen. And people throwing in the towel and saying it will never happen are part of the probelm. We need to take our game back. It's got to be a 16 team playoff, with conference champs from a minimum 8 conferences included. This would give the big conferences potentially another 8 participants in addition to their champions. Anything less than this, we should all scream bloody murder, and we should put the onus on the Presidents to control it properly rather than turning it over to six elite conferences.
