there's got to be one giant upset in there somewhere.
would absolutely love if Appalachian State did what they did to Michigan years back in Week #1 and shocked the Nitts.

ugh. ho-hum - sounds like the OP has yet another booorrrrrinnnng Final 4 with Clemson and Alabama. yawn. i wish there was something out there to fix this. gee - i know - how about a March Madness Sweet 16 Tourney from Thanksgiving to Christmas a blockbuster month long tourney and we'd see epic matchups like : #1 Alabama vs. #16 Miami #2 Clemson vs. #15 Washington #3 Ohio State vs. #14 Auburn #4 Oklahoma vs. #13 Standford #5 Penn State vs. #12 University of Alaska (this this the undefeated Underdog in D1 who deserves that shot) #6 Georgia vs. #11 Oklahoma State #7 LSU vs. #10 Michigan #8 Michigan State vs. #9 Florida State What a blast this would be watching for a month during the most festive time of the year! |

Georgia vs Alaska for the NC. The Fighting Eskimos put up a valiant fight for the first half but fall to the mighty Bulldawgs in the second half 70-3. Okay maybe the first half wasn't really that close. |

Okay maybe the first half wasn't really that close. But perhaps - just perhaps we get to see an epic #16 vs. #1 - i.e. #16 UMBC knocking off #1 Virginia.................. or a classic #15 knocking off a #2 which we've been blessed with... and the classic #12 knocking off a #5 which has happened a bit..... to each their own - i don't like the excuse that this renders the regular season worthless. 12 games? if you're that 'top dawg' which everyone says you are - handle your business in the tourney too. by being a 'Top Dog' you're blessed with homefield advantage during the opening rounds. Final 4 will be played at neutral sites in my format. |

Believe me, I typed out that Clemson pick holding my nose. What you described would be the optimal situation for me as a fan, even if it meant dropping down to 10 or 11 regular season games. But I would be honestly thrilled with even an 8-team playoff. The current four doesn't seem adequate with a field of ~65 P5 schools and technically about 130 that could make the CFP in theory if not in reality. |

I agree it's ridiculous it has taken so long for CFB to cobble together even the current semblance of a playoff and it's still far too dependent on the whims and biases of a committee. |
