12 team playoff with a couple G5 auto bids? HOLY SHIT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

FBS commissioners are considering expanding the College Football Playoff from four schools to up to double-digit teams.

"I sense 12 teams is building support."

If expansion happens in the next two years it will have been the direct result of COVID.

the Transfer portal will. (well that could be covid related)

if they stay at 4 team playoff. Bama Lsu Clemson Ohio St Oregon will just pooch 10 top kids from other schools

The bigger issue with the 4 team playoff is the recruiting impact than the transfer issue. If it is 4 teams, the best kids will end up at:
Alabama
Ohio State
Clemson
UGA
Oklahoma
Notre Dame
LSU

These schools already have big recruiting advantages based on money, history, facilities, but when you add in that they are the only ones with a real shot at the playoff... they will murder everyone else in recruiting.

If you move it to even 6 or 8 teams, that should spread talent out a bit more.

As it stands now, a kid who might like to go to USC or Florida will take the offer from Alabama because he wants a shot at a natty. A kid who likes North Carolina ends up at Clemson. A kid who likes Michigan goes to Notre Dame.

If you expand it to 6 or 8 teams, some of these guys maybe put less emphasis on going to a playoff school because more teams have a decent shot at making it. This should hypothetically snowball. Now Alabama loses more kids to Auburn, or Florida State. Notre Dame loses more kids to Michigan and Michigan State.

It seemed like it used to be that major programs (even struggling ones) would do great in recruiting because every big program was a year or two away from realistically having a shot at a big bowl game.

Now... those schools aren't a year or two from the pinnacle. They are 4-5 years away because the power schools are so much better positioned now to recruit the best guys.

Even a 6 or 8 team playoff could have massive massive ramifications while still generally resulting in blue blood programs generally winning.

I've been pretty satisfied with the 4 team playoff, but it seems like there are pretty tangible results we've been able to observe that have had a very negative impact on FBS.

I’m just saying 1) programs need money. 2) networks and streaming services need live content. 3) JPMorgan has billions of Super League financing burning a hole in its pocket.

Who says there Will be G5 auto bids? The 2nd place team in the SEC is getting in before the G5 - maybe even the 3rd place.
