Expanding National Championship (Discuss)

[PillsburyDoughboy]

I am personally in favor of expanding it to 8 teams myself. I think it would make for a more interesting season and do away with this stupid bowl games that mean nothing.

But I go back to what Nick Saban said in (i think 2016) . He said something to the effect that ND??? was in the 5th spot knocking on the door. Were they worthy of a shot at the National Championship? His answer was probably yes but would they have beaten ALABAMA that year for the Championship? Would it have effected the outcome of the championship? I really think not.

Lets take a look at this year. You could expand the teams to 8 this year. Is anyone really beating Clemson or ALABAMA for the title this year? The Answer is likely not.

outcome would remain the same most likely.

I would still tune in for the 1seed bama to face the 8 seed Cincinnati maybe it gets interesting who knows.

Could 7 florida have put everything together with that good offensive they had and fight to the very end against 2Clemson in a nail biter? I think so I mean they just put up 46 against bama and only lost by 8.

Depends on how they select the top teams. The committee sucks, and conference protection of teams sucks.

I think you misspelled Alabama. It isn't spelled "C-l-e-m-s-o-n"

I meant Buckeyes, the last thing the sport world needs is red elephant win

You mean ANOTHER win....ANOTHER National Championship win.

 

[buckaroo]

Yeah like any Tennesseean wants that

It would eliminate most criticism of the system, and would more than double the number of bowl games that actually mean something. I habe advocated this very thing for years.

That didn't age well.
