I mean, the 12 team playoff is dumb. He’s just dumber.
The 12-team playoff in the abstract IS dumb. But where they ARE right about it is that they figure there's going to be more money in playoff games that mean something than bowl games that don't.
But let's take it apart just a bit.
1) He's not in favor of a 12-team playoff, and neither am I. His conclusion isn't really wrong.
2) He's saying the same thing folks on this board said about once you start a playoff, more teams becomes the cry. Again, he's not wrong here, either.
In fact, pretty much everything he said would have been fine right up until this point:
And to be honest with you, I don't know if there's 12 teams good enough
Hell, I don't even disagree with THIS comment. Go find me a single time anyone on the planet thought the team that ended the season ranked #12 was the best team in the country.
BUT...... in this particular case, we have a guy who lost his most recent game to a team HE ranked 11th!!!
I mean, of all the people to say this....
Recent number 12 teams:
2015 - Michigan (10-3)
2016 - Stanford (10-3)
2017 - USC (9-2)
2018 - Kentucky (10-3)
2019 - Notre Dame (11-2)
2020 - Indiana (6-2)
The only team in that bunch anyone mentioned as MAYBE a playoff team in the top four was 2017 USC.
But he seems to have forgotten his own team lost to Pitt (2016) and Syracuse (2017).
