College Football 🏈 should have a 12 team tournament, auto bids for Power 5 champs and highest ranked group of 5. Also, college football 🏈 should have an NIT like tournament with 16 teams, auto bids for group of 5 champions. End all bowl games!

The funniest possible scenario is both the Pac-12 and MWC ending up with 7 teams and thus both ineligible for a CFP autobid. As the rumors currently stand (changing by the minute), that is the current scenario if Utah State and no one else defects.

Florida State already has the second smallest endowment in the ACC, and would be the smallest by far in the B10, and not in the top 10 in the SEC. However they want us to believe they can spend more than 60% of their endowment to leave the ACC and stay competitive? Delusion.
If I could rename bowls games in Texas, listed north to south (location) (1/2)

2.Neiman Marcus Bowl (SMU)
https://t.co/6cS5A2Yv4F Cotton Bowl (AT&T)
4.Tecovas Bowl (TCU)
5.Southwest Airlines Sun Bowl (UTEP)
“Trading” the best player in the league last season for the guy who finished 27th out of 48, straight up. And they want us to take this team competition seriously…
Of the 78 players to record a snap in the Alamo Bowl last year...
-76.9% of players returned
-Texas has 31 returning players
-Washington has 29 returning players
This is truly a rematch.
The clearest sign the CFP committee doesn't act consistently was putting Florida State between Alabama and Georgia.
You think the current FSU team is worse than Alabama but better than Georgia? Does anyone REALLY believe that distinction?
Oregon played 4 teams who won more than 6 games this year.
Utah- Playing their 3rd string QB
USC- Worst P5 defense in the country
Oregon State- Game played one day before the Oregon State coach left
Washington- Lost twice
Great job, committee.
