[QUOTE="Showtime Joe 2.0, post: 3019877, member: 70002"] Of course, it's a money grab. But then so too is the NCAA Basketball Tournament. And many people argue that the Tournament waters down the regular season in basketball as well. But what would college basketball be without the drama of the Big Dance? Would you prefer to have a committee of "experts" hand-pick the Final Four every year at the end of the regular season instead and leave the other 60 or so teams out of the running? I think it's great that some three-loss football teams will make the playoffs under the new system. I would be ecstatic if a 10-3 TCU team did so in a given year. Wouldn't you be? The expansion of the playoffs is going to add immense drama and interest to my favorite sport of college football. While I would prefer a more even-handed 16-team format, the 12-team system with the four byes actually ensures that the regular system is not "watered down" as much as you fear it will be by expansion. You should rejoice, Wex, along with every other college football fan! Once the new system is in place, perhaps as soon as the 2023 season, the fan bases of eight more schools every year will have the thrill of seeing their team compete for a national championship on the field! And I like the Horned Frogs' chances of making it into a 12-team tournament much more than I do the odds of them ever being selected in the current four-team playoff. [/QUOTE]
Verification
