Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
They do have a national playoff...it's the season...12-13 games. Playoff games are on Saturdays....when losing a second game puts you off the bubble. Unlike basketball with their 29 game seasons...and that sesson doesn't really count for much but maling the real season...The seven tournament games ...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
Yeah...so what do you propose ? What is going to make an Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State play so that Miami of Ohio, Tulsa, FAU, or Indiana has a chance to beat them straight up. WKU has scheduled Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn...they now need to win to show something. Same with Bowling Green who ha...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
Last year, Bama and Ohio State played in the Final....and had 20 players drafted in the 2021 NFL draft (10 from each team).....
20 drafted juniors and seniors...and you wonder why a Tulsa, Miami of Ohio, FAU can't compete on the field...they are playing against NFL type players.

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan had something in common this year...they won 11 or more games with an SOS ranked in the 20's or lower...(except Notre Dame with SOS #43)....but Notre Dame did not play in the playoff. But neither did OK. State at 11-2 (SOS #4) or Oklahoma at 11-2 (S...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
And, unlike college ball, you do not have conference champs who have not played a decent schedule...The NFL is much more homogenized in talent level.. If you want an NFL type playoff...as I posted...blow up college ball and make it NFl Lite..but don't say you want a similar experience within the con...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
14 teams play in the new NFL post season format... Look...if you want to make college ball like the NFL...ditch the 121 teams, ditch conferences...pick just 32 teams and make up two divisions of 16 like AFC and NFC and divide into pods...and have drafts out of high school so that talent is more even...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
I don’t, to this point, recall any collegiate sport that has a tournament where the best teams are guaranteed to play each other. It isn’t the point of a tournament. Any playoff goal is to have a team advance to the final game and win that championship. The actual beat team isn’t even guaranteed to...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
Legitimate path for 90 teams while maintaining a legitimate path for the best teams? And I don't think that there is any pretense that a UMass and an Alabama both have a path. Not possible. Not with a 12-13 game regular season..... if the best teams are to play for it...there must be a reasonable ap...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
If you played #1 vs # 12 seed this year...you'd have Alabama vs Pitt.....
Cincinnati was the only G5 team that would have made a 12 team playoff on the CFP seeding.

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
There will be expansion...it will just be the incorporation of games that we see now in bowls..with teams like those that played this year like Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Oregon, Wisconsin....I would never watch a match up of a UTSA-Georgia or the like. There really needs to ne a split off...FBS is...

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
THe top teams are just that...the semi's often aren't close...but can you imagine how much worse it would have been to have Miami of Ohio play Georgia instead of Michigan...the same Miami of Ohio that is 0-24 against Ohio State.

Re: Saban Shares His Thinking on Playoff Expansion
Conspiracy nuttos that yell..."they load it for the viewers and money"...yet ignore actual performance on the field...actual team strength. The kind that says "sit Georgia, they ain't a conference champ", although they may be the best team in the country , so that UTSA and and Mi...
