What do y'all think? 2 years? 3?
Will they mandate the big 12 play a championship game as they should?

So the 4 team playoff didn't even make it 1 year without controversy, how long till 8

- Start date
The NCAA would have to approve a Big XII title game unless they expand so the playoff people (not an NCAA group) can't force them to have one.
I still don't think any #7 or #8 team has a legitimate claim to a title. I know it has been posted here before, but if the playoff must expand then go to 6 teams with the #1 and #2 teams getting a bye in the first round. That allows for all 5 conference champs to have a shot plus one at-large bid.
The tv contracts for the CFP run for 12 years. They can be renegotiated of course, but that takes time.
I don't think the CFP can mandate that the Big 12 play a championship. They only have 10 members and NCAA rules require 12 members for a championship game.
A big question I have with the CFP is attendance. It costs a LOT of money to attend a bowl game, and it's hard to attend one, let alone two. That would only get worse if they expanded to 8 teams. IF they were to go 8 teams (which I do NOT want, btw), they should consider having the quarter final games at the home stadiums rather than a bowl.
let's see who would be 7 and 8 this year. Michigan State and Mississippi State? anybody honestly think these two deserve a shot at all?
I recall them saying that this system has a contract for 5 years. If that is true....then 2020.
So 2025...

People are overreacting when we haven't even had the 1st playoff play out yet. This is a rare year to have this many 1-loss or less teams in the Top 6.
It needs to stay 4 teams. Usually there would only be 3 teams with 1 or less losses and #4 and lower would be 2 loss teams.
A 6 or 8 team playoff would open Pandora's Box to 2 or even 3 loss teams having a chance to get hot late and win a title which would completely diminish the regular season. It would be like the Giants winning those SuperBowls with 7 losses. Ridiculous.

Pretty sure this format is under contract for the next 6 years or so. Just like they couldn't change the BCS until it's contract was up..
Here's what you do:
Take Rivals Recruiting rankings from the previous year and have the top 128 teams play a seeded tournament. One loss and you're out. That'd give you plenty of games. Then have the championship be best two out of three.
You're welcome.

I was and remain one as well. I didn't like the BCS but it beat this. For me this died when MSU went for the political points against us rather than trying to win the game, even if the try would have been futile.
i agree with those who are proposing the 6 team format.
I will add to that idea though that teams without a conference championship game should have an additional entry game. Make the Big 12's "One True Champion" square off in a pre-qualifying game against the highest ranked non-p5 champ. That would be fun to watch
