I seriously don't understand why people want 24 teams in the playoff. Yes, I realize that I am in the minority. I was an avid watcher of college basketball until every team with a pulse made the tournament. The regular season is boring af now. I want every regular season CFB game to matter. Eight was the right number. Twelve was pushing it, but ok. Twenty-four? GTFO.

Because NFL fans want CFB to become a bastardized version of the NFL, where the regular season is meaningless and 7-9 teams can and do make the playoffs.

Compare the intensity of Texas-Oklahoma or Alabama-Auburn or Ohio State-Michigan to the Dallas-Philadelphia or Bears-Packers. NFL rivalries are no match for CFB ones because half the damn league makes it to the playoffs.

NFL fans will literally watch their teams rest starters left and right towards the end of the season to secure playoff berths, and then demand that CFB align to that model while claiming it won't affect the meaningfulness of regular season games 🙄

You were an avid CBB fan until 1985? Did you go to school with armybrat?

I don't understand the "the regular season is boring now" crap.

No it wasn't. The regular season this year was pretty god damn fun at times - we got some awesome games.

Now, CBB, yes, because 75% of the first 2 months are non-consequential games against Texas Junior College of the Blind, but there have been some bangers regardless between p4 teams, and especially once conf play begins

And "The regular season doesn't matter?" Why? There was only 1 team with more than 3 losses in each of the last CFP rankings, the AP top 25 and the coaches poll. 24 teams just means more 10-2 and 9-3 teams make it. It is highly unlikely a 7-5 team is going to sneak in - even ACC Champ Duke isn't ranked.
