Pl is on the money here

This is not the exact link. I am still trying to find it. (I erased my history) There are literally dozens and dozens of articles on the internet, with advocates saying that there needs to be 8 teams forthwith. IF the SEC has at least two teams in the playoffs, that means two or three other conferences will be shut out from the playoffs. This will pretty much guarantee that the playoffs are expanding to 8 teams within two years so each Big Five Conferene can be represented in the playoffs.
IF the SEC has 3 teams in the playoffs and the TV rating for the 3 games are great, I can the other Big Five conferences demanding a change and breaking the contract as soon as next year. The Big 10, Big 12, and Pac 12 cannot afford to be shut out of the playoffs. Or eventually, if Texas and Florida State join the SEC, they can just create their own national champion--the winner of the SEC.

With 8 teams an undefeated G5 team could make it.
12-16 teams and 2 G5 teams WILL make it.

This is the link. Good article.
Why is this thread still on topic? Discuss.
Once they go to 12 or 16 teams I would expect the bowls to go away. They will need to host those games at campus sites because I don't expect large numbers of fans to travel to 3-4 straight games plus a possible conference championship game. Imagine doing a Frisco type trip 3-5 times. It's not happening.Quote:
