Leave it to the College Football powers that be to come up with something nobody else really was advocating to have, with 12 team playoff.
I am offended. For years and years we were told "we can't extend the playoffs" because of classes, or injuries, or whatever. This 12-team format would mean FOUR WEEKS of playoffs. That's even more than March Madness, which is only 3 weeks. And I am so tired of trying to fit the bowl games into a CFP structure. We either have bowl games with no playoffs, or playoffs, but having playoffs by definition devalues bowl games. Why doesn't the NCAA just take control of the Football? I've never understood why the NCAA can't control its own post-season.
