Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

  • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

I forgot about that 2018 win over Bama. If it was the rule rather than the exception I'd probably change my mind. My argument is largely that they were only competitive in those other years because of how weak their schedule was.

I think a leveling of the playing field due to nil and transfer portals will lead to a better product but a very different one as the coaches lose a bit of control especially in recruiting.
