Will The 12 Team Playoff Kill College Football?

[@SurferRC]

Its the first legitimate post season in college football!

[@ethanpetersen810]

Yeah, the first postseason where every team except one LOSES!

The playoff obviously will not kill off the sport, only greed can accomplish that. Every other level has a massive playoff bracket up to 32 teams with some of them even looking to expand their playoffs. Playoffs do not render the regular season pointless, post season football period does that. Once the sport moved away from playing 8 or 9 games and a bunch of old guys who never touched a ball voted on who is "National Champion" and had any form of a National Championship game the regular season was deminished. Rivalries are only important to the teams that play within them at the end of the day. If they want to play them, they will make room on the schedule and if your favorite school abandoned a rivalry then it wasn't important to the people in charge at that school. New Years 6 Bowls were always a money grab and the only reason they are a part of the playoffs is so the host would stop blocking the playoff from existing in the first place when the NCAA got back the rights to crown the champion in their own sport that they sold off to the BCS, like Marvel selling Spider-Man to Sony. "You play to win the game!" -Herm Edwards, if you aren't trying to make it to the playoffs or win a national championship then why are you fielding a team? If you are just doing what the New York Jets are doing and just playing so you can rake in the money I think you should just shut down the program and let those guys go to programs that actually care about winning. Any competitive sport isn't played for the sake of running out there for fun, it's to win titles. Honestly, teams rake in so much money now, if they aren't putting that into keeping their guys healthy to play up to 16 games a year then I hope they never win another football game. What is the appeal of college football is the traditions, passion and that it is different from the pros, and it is and always will be the ones chasing money to line their pockets with that are holding the knife that kills the sport. I can't wait for all this to collapse and for these mega conferences to break back up into smaller ones.

No no no. NY 6 bowl games are not a PART of the playoffs, they’ve been REPLACED by the playoffs. They’ve completely lost any meaning. It’s not really the Rose Bowl anymore. Now it’s a playoff quarterfinal. Nobody is going to care anymore about winning the “Rose Bowl,” because they’ll be so focused on winning the national championship. So now instead of six major bowls crowning six teams as winners, there’ll be only ONE winner and the other 11 elite teams will go home as losers. (And btw, it’s always gonna be one of the top 5 seeds) This is absolutely killing college football. 👎

FBS was built on tradition, the idea of crowning an official champion is breaking them down. We lost a staple conference(PAC) thanks to the expansion. Depending on what matters to a person most, tradition or crowning a champion.

The NFL (rigged product) ification of college football and the decision makers for CFB are a disaster for the game and for player development. It's insane how much they hate what makes the sport so special.
