Would a CFP expansion be good for College Football?

[@iamtheoysterking]

Yes! It will be the only way the pinstripe and go daddy bowls would be meaningful.

[@Bucks7542]

The Herd with Colin Cowherd yes but go to 12 and play the games at home and play the natty at the rose bowl. Get rid of these bowl games and no more scheduling fcs

[@andrewscott7067]

No, look at the potential matchups you’d be creating... OSU And LSU would no doubt beat the pac 12 schools by at least 20+ points. Alabama would prolly beat Georgia 20+ points, you’d only be creating 1 meaningful game in penn st vs Clemson, and fun fact James Franklin is a serial choke artist, I wouldn’t be surprised in Clemson won by a lot as well, so what exactly is expanding the playoff doing?

[@cuhnation]

Yes

[@spuh3460]

Andrew Scott the pac 12 schools have really good defenses, they hang with everyone. Ohio state has a bad o line and both Oregon and Utah would get after the quarterback, but i don’t know if they have the offense to beat the top 4 teams. Oregon has just as talented of a team as anyone, they just need to come out playing hard from the get go. Utah’s defense might be the best in the country but their offense is too predictable and they would have a really hard time scoring against a top team.

Of course the Wisconsin win doesn't look as good! They lost to an unranked Illinois! If WU wins that game and then OSU beats them, it's a top notch W. Blame WU for all of the doubters. Also, the other ranked team that OSU beat is Cincinnati. I don't care what their record is, it's Cincinnati.

[@stewg4661]

​@@xCriMsoN_ True, they only beat two ranked teams so far. But the way they beat those teams is astronomical. OSU is averaging 48 points per game and their opponents average 7.8 points per game. Alabama has played 0 ranked teams and only three opponents were held to 2 scores or less. Clemson will only play one ranked team if Wake Forrest doesn't lose between now and their game AND THEY ALMOST LOST TO AN UNRANKED OPPONENT. LSU has played two ranked teams and has held only two teams to less than 10 points. Vanderbelt scored 38 points against them. LSU is averaging 44 points per game and their opponents are averaging 20 against them. Clemson is averaging 44 points per game and their all unranked opponents average 11.6 against them. Alabama is averaging 48 points per game but their also all unranked opponents are averaging 15 points against them. Ohio State is beating their opponents by a larger margin and they have a highly ranked schedule as far as who they have played's record is concerned. Ohio State is utterly dominant this year.

[@xCriMsoN_]

@@stewg4661 Valid points, BUT my only argument is LSU beat #10 and #11, which trumps OSU's victories. I'm a Bama fan and I have no issues with where we're currently ranked, and I wouldn't have had any issues if we were ranked lower. To this point in the season I just think LSU has impressed me more than OSU.

[@couvo9840]

@@xCriMsoN_ I mean, when you think about it, OSU and LSU both have offenses that are pretty much on the same level.the big difference is the defense, where OSU's has been dominant while LSU's is absolutely abysmal compared to what everyone is used to.

Should be a rule you can only schedule one: more than just “only one for bowl consideration” Say Alabama schedules 4 FCS teams and beats them all. Then comes conference play. They lose to LSU or Auburn. Oopsies no trip to the conference championship and definitely no wildcard.

[@insertnamehere2746]

>every game matters >ucf has a top offense and goes undefeated in regular season Sorry but if a team could go undefeated and still not at least get a SHOT at playing in something boldly called the PLAYOFFS, something is clearly wrong with said playoff system. What joel doesnt understand is that WINNING should be rewarded PERIOD

[@ajseker]

I’m a simple man, I see Joel and I click

[@gbballpl]

As always, Joel makes such great points. If there was an 8 team playoff, then we wouldn't care to watch the regular season as much because we're waiting for the 'real games' in the playoffs, similar to nba or cbb or nfl. The games matter but not as much when you're already 'in'. I totally agree with that. 4 teams makes the top four spots so elusive that you need to be excellent, however the problem is teams like bama want to be excellent at wofford. I get Colin saying he would still love to watch Bama-LSU this weekend even if they meet in the playoffs, however, what he doesn't realize is that both teams may not lay everything out on the line this coming weekend if they're already in an 8 team playoff picture. The big thing here is that watching the top 8 teams go after it in a sudden death playoff is much more entertaining than playing in the regular season because you can still lose and be in the playoff if you're a more dominant/skilled team, which will keep hard scheduling and looking fine vs dominating in the eye test while playing bad teams. Hard to say which is right here. Joel does make great points, but I still want an 8 team playoff. Get more teams in there, make it a sudden death style. The Semi Finals and Finals bring so much hype and excitement, imagine there being twice as much! We just need to find a way to not make two teams in the playoffs (lsu-bama), take this Saturday lightly if they already know they're in. Solution? To get in the 8 spots, both teams (LSU-Bama) need to make this Saturday's game close/not get trampled to stay in that playoff picture.

[@limjahey7151]

Look, Joel Klatt is far and away my favorite analyst/commentator in football, but I think hes absolutely wrong about regular season rivalry games meaning nothing in the FBS in the event of an 8 team playoff. I know most people on this thread probably dont follow or care about FCS football, but hear me out if you will: I'm from North Dakota and I'm an NDSU fan. NDSU and South Dakota State are perennially two of the top teams in the FCS and obviously being in the same conference, they play each other every year for the Dakota Marker (the marker is a replica of the one that is actually used to mark the border between the two states). Both of these teams know that on any given year, win or lose, they will both likely still be in the playoffs given the 24 team format. Despite this knowledge, both teams and fanbases make this rivalry one of the best in college football. The games are always thrilling and usually very close, the fans make the atmosphere absolutely electric, and the overall quality of the product on the field year in and year out is top notch. I think the idea of these FBS rivalry games becoming meaningless in an expanded playoff format is completely overblown.

[@insertnamehere2746]

[@esmith2xx]

@12:30 I agree with Klatt. For the casual fans, a ‘bama vs. LSU game in the regular season would mean less over time with an 8-team playoff. Maybe not the first or second year of the 8-team playoff but over time, some of the rivalry games and current “big games” would matter less because 1 and 2 loss teams in Power conferences would still get playoff bids anyway. So the regular season WOULD mean less. Agree with Joel. Although it would give way to out of conference rivalries to take shape via a larger playoff format (i.e. Clemson vs. ‘bama).

[@jasonjanisewski78]

Expanding playoffs would make more games matter. For example, Klatt says that if Alabama loses then they are out. That means for Alabama fans the rest of the Season would be meaningless. With the Playoffs expanded the rest of the season for Alabama would still have vslue.

[@illtrollurmom]

Jason Janisewski yeah but at the same time it would give a free pass for teams with “name value” so they really wouldn’t have to schedule anyone notable and can just slide in at the 6th spot, 7th or 8th spot. but also your argument is wrong cause if bama loses to LSU they won’t drop past 8th anyways.

TheGemPearl Gaming my point is that scenario doesn’t have the BEST teams in the playoffs. People are saying how it needs to be 8 so that all the best in the country get in. An automatic bid could result in a huge underdog upsetting the best team and getting in. Automatic bids are a problem if you want the best teams in the playoffs.

Quinton G I’ve been saying this for years. Scrap the committee, go back to the BCS ranking system, and at the end of the season (including conference championships) take the top 8 teams from the final rankings and put them in a playoff. If you go back to 2014, each year the final top 8 would have made really compelling games. Most were usually 1 loss teams anyways with a few two loss teams, but we’ve had two loss teams win national titles before. I think this method would eliminate all the nuance and debate about who deserves it more to be in and bs arguments like the eye test etc. just let them play it out on the field and we all get to enjoy the show.

Scott Hardinger exactly!!!!

[@BlackTrunksPodcast]

It’ll be more upsets as well. More stories, narratives to push, more clicks, etc.

[@meinking22]

Should at least be a small tourney of conference champions.

[@taibui5128]

Joe klatt be hating on LSU lol. He just biased cuz he has a man crush on that db young. No1 n no2 won't be heavily watched?!?! Foh

[@GG-tg5ub]

Joel Klatt is 100% right about the fact that having every game matter makes college football better. It is absolutely one of the reasons college football is more fun to watch than the NFL.I can't even understand why they are arguing that reality.

[@TrevortheBatman]

Joel Klatt is really great. I don’t have the same opinion as him, but when he makes his point it’s hard to argue back

[@matthewkwiatkowski5609]

"the regular season doesnt matter" is the dumbest argument i have ever heard

[@TheGaminguniverse24]

Klatt with a rare L in the last argument

[@tavianthomas4402]

I wish Joel Klatt was my best friend lmao I just know when he played ball he was that one dude on the team everyone loved kicking it with

[@marknethercutt3381]

Oregon national championships zero lol😝😝😝😝😝😝

[@marknethercutt3381]

Keep dreaming Oregon

[@jakeloberg6588]

Agree with Colin here 100%

[@brodycmeyer2357]

Klatt makes a good point. I only watched the Florida vs Georgia game for one simple reason. I’m a Tennessee fan. usually that game decides who Tennessee will have to beat in terms of record to go to the sec championship game.

[@PunkyBoyGWiz]

why should alabama be ahead of clemson when they just got destroyed by them last year?

[@AlexK-rd1ki]

not the same rosters anymore

[@PunkyBoyGWiz]

@@AlexK-rd1ki they are pretty similar same QBs.

[@ApocalypseNowWithEli]

Yeah, because it’s not last year.

[@jakerice3367]

Last year doesn’t matter lol

[@cadeholland7254]

Bruh what 😂😂😂

[@dannypiper383]

Who is Klatt? The most accurate commentator in college football ball! Well done fine Sir!!

[@GregoryGarciaATX]

Quality back and fortj

[@seanc9957]

Klatt is a boss

[@Trx-ep7rg]

I agree with Joel, an 8 team playoff would ruin the importance of the regular season

[@shanehogan5995]

Would love to just have a show of these two... someone make this happen

[@YouJustGotCrafted]

I love when klatt comes on

[@magnuslord]

Klatt segment best segment.

[@dc501]

Klatt's actually top class, talks a lot of sense
