Totally agree on this one.

My primary take-away from this Weekend is there aren't 12 teams that are nearly on a Championship level.

8 would be fine, but then the talking heads on ESPN would just argue more.

My expectation is a push to expand to 16 even though it's clearly not warranted or needed.

12 teams in this format is going to take 4 weeks and I love the home playoff games, but the way they did it to appease the bowls is silly. It should be P-whatever champions, 1-2 G5 champs, and the rest at-large to add up to 8 teams.

correct. i hear him constantly speak like we are the uncrowned champion but some chokie event prevented us from winning it all. lazy clueless commentary, hasnt had relevance for a decade now.

i was junior in 03, like pete, so i understand EXACTLY what he is saying. its just not relevant now.

An 8 team playoff would be fine.

Edit: I often think of this piece by Phil Steele where he goes through the entire BCS period, and looks at what an ideal playoff would look like. In an ideal world, I think the committee would look at the field each year, and decide on a cutoff line. Maybe it's 2 teams, 4 teams, 6, 8, 16, etc.

Home field advantage is at most ~3 point advantage. Not a multi score advantage.

it will take a couple of years to turn the roster over

You've mentioned this a few times. I don't know if I necessarily agree. With the portal the way it is now, a good coach who can recruit should be able to turn the roster over in an off-season.

In my CFB '25 dynasty Cartoons Plural took the Hokies to the playoffs in year two with a first round snow game in Lane. It was beautiful.

Agreed. Would love to have playoff game in Lane. That would be awesome.

How playoffs are supposed to be. They've been great.

Is it that or home field advantage?

The crowds have been pretty good so far. Way better than a neutral site game.

Actually no looks like their star RB is mysteriously out for "hamstring tightness." Setting this up for an injury excuse. Bet if they get back in this game he'll be back out on the field pretty quickly.

Agreed. Except for my Pastor, who is indeed the real deal, is a huge Clemson fan so I feel for him.

Only (and I mean only reason) I pull for Clemson is that we are tied at the hip (thanks to a shitty TV contract) to them and need some semblance of respectability out of the ACC. At least until we get our own act straightened out and take the conference back.
