D2 has a 14 team playoff......

Too much money spent on the bowl system/4-team pseudo playoff for that to work in D1.

What does the FCS have? I've heard a 16 team format, maybe even 32 teams?

A 16 team playoff. No conference championship games. A maximum of 12 games played. The bowls (15 needed for a 16 team playoff) would serve as playoff locations. The "other" 20+ bowls could continue to pick from the teams ranked 17th and below.

Fans aren't traveling to multiple bowls.

Bama plays eight freaking home games this year and nine in the state of Alabama. Nine of 12 games are played in-state.

There is no need to be afraid of the players leaving Alabama's basement. It is not like 'bama athletes actually go to class.

You think they're going to class in Columbus, Ohio?

Bama ranked 5 now in the CFP rankings.

All it takes is for one of the top four teams to lose and they're back, baby.

You know better than that.

Roll Tide!!! Can't wait to see the Tide roll all over the playoffs. Nick Saban is my Savior and Bear is my god. Gonna go have sex with my sister now (cause that's what we do down here in Bama)

You and CC are so right. Look at the 2018 schedule.

Four OOC games:

Arkansas State

UL Lafayatte

Citadale

and Louisville on Orlando

That's an outrage. Bottom of the barrel. And they try to get credit for playing a legit team, but they NEVER play an away legit ooc game, which everyone else does.

Also, an open week before LSU and Citadel before their big rivalry game with Auburn at the end of the season. Their two biggest games of the year. Every year. Same thing!!! Arg!!!!

They are totally gaming the system.

Absolutely correct, sir. Saban gets away with this scheduling bullshit every year.

Cool. Then start a thread bashing OSU. I don't think they should get in either but if they win the Big 10 they will have a better resume than Alabama even with the Iowa and Oklahoma losses.

one I'm pac-12 fan, and they don't deserve to be in

and I'm just here targeting the overrated state fans hypocrisy here, "win and in" didn't apply to Penn last year and they actually beat Ohio, so if Ohio beats Wisco they shouldn't be in over Alabama based on the comity's choices last year.... simple

With the ignorance of spelling and school names, you are undoubtedly an SEC fan.

In the northeast they have sex with little boys.

You know, I was not really convinced, but when I saw the ALL CAPS, I knew you HAD to be RIGHT!

I didn’t realize this until it was pointed out here. I looked at past and future schedules, and it’s the same bullshit. Only one legit OOC game and it’s always at a neutral site. Furthermore it’s always at a neutral site in the south (e.g. Atlanta), which makes it a lot less neutral when playing teams for the pac and big.

Everyone else (especially outside of the sec) schedules home and home for their big ooc matchups. Look at Oklahoma and Ohio State the past two years. Look at USC and Texas this year and next. Not Bama. That’s their prerogative, but there should be consequences when it comes to poll rankings and bowl selection.

Yep. Alabama will never do a home & home with a major ooc opponent because Saban is a p*ssy. Remember, he's a 5'5" midget who acts like a bully.

Yeah...a "bully" who makes over 11 mil a year in a job where the top recruits come knocking on your door. ?

Dude has it dialed in. Optimized in every way. Kind of like the nike sub2 marathon project. It's not right. I really hope they don't get it, but I fear they will.
