Last night, watching that instant classic, got me thinking....What is you guys opinion on the 12 team format. Too many teams? Too little teams? Just right?
 
Ain't watching that garbage

If they ever fix college football would consider it. I can't be the only person who finds it incredibly boring watching the teams with the biggest pockets winning every year.
 
Something is not right when every single higher seeded 1st round bye team loses their following quarter final games.
The first round home field advantage reminded me of the 1st & 2nd round advantage that women's basketball teams got during the NCAA Tournament. Unless you want to watch blow out after blow out might as well skip the first round matchups. Made for a lot of early boredom. For me those dull blowouts somewhat tainted the rest of the playoffs.

I have no interest in it, maybe I'll regain some interest once MT completes a long climb out of the hole its leaders dug over the years. Very plainly college football post-season play has no relevance to this fan as I have no divided loyalty. F utk, F vandy, F memphis state, F the $ec and F the rest.

I have enjoyed it. There's been some great games (Texas/ASU, ND/Penn State, UGA/ND). They got the seeding wrong - I get what they were doing, but no way should Boise/ASU gotten a bye. I watch the same way I watch the NFL - interested only in the competition and hoping for a close game. I've been pulling for Notre Dame - those guys seem like good guys.

Personally, I'd go to 16. The bowls are useless and I've watched virtually none of them, I don't know why we keep them. And if anyone wants to elect me college football king of college football, i'd split the P2 from everyone else, have the G5 and leftovers of the P-whatever play it's own league with its own playoffs - but have promotion-relegation between the two. Fat chance, I know, but it's still a good idea.

I agree. What fun is college football when there are only a handful of teams every year that have a chance to win it all. I have no interest. I follow MT and that's it. Years ago I would watch the "big" games but I have become jaded over the unfair corruption in the sport and no longer care.
