Maybe the bye in the playoffs isn't an advantage.

Boise and ASU getting 3 and 4 seeds in the bracket was silly. Conference champions shouldn’t have auto byes. Just play them as the committee seeded. Boise was 9. ASU, somewhere behind them. Both would have been on the road in round 1 had this happened.

While I do not think 12-16 teams have legit shots at the championship, I can see this thing being expanded to 14 or 16 very soon, just for the money it’s generating.

At least ASU put up a fight. Pretty much best game

If the point is to make sure the tournament includes everyone who might reasonably be expected to win it, then 8 is the number. If the point is that, plus making more money, then there needs to be a play-in round for slots 5 through 8 so that the eventual winner, who will be one of the top seeds in all likelihood, doesn't essentially have to play a second season to get it.

I think this is proving that 8 is plenty and they should be seeded based on evaluation of their strength as in basketball.

Let’s instead give Conference Champs the option of a bye or a home game. Zero programs would take the home game.

To say ASU didn’t deserve a #4 based on an OT loss to Texas — who only lost, twice, to Georgia — is silly. ASU was awesome, and also got robbed on the targeting call.

8’s enough, but also 4 was enough. The next option is 16 or perhaps 24, and I’ve got no interest in those.

Go Irish (ducks).
