What's this?

Unlikely , but the hidden beauty of a Playoff with only one P5 conference


This scenario is highly unlikely: 2 SEC schools , ND ,and UCF as your playoff teams (likely Clemson and a few others would need 2 losses). But imagine four power conferences being left out and the corresponding added pressure to get to an 8 team playoff with auto bids for the P5. For that reason I'll root for this to happen.

The added side-benefit when this finally get to 8 teams (and i think it will have 6 spots pre-determined- the 6th being the highest ranked non P5 provided they are ranked somewhere in the top 15 or so ) is that it will put ND in a position of having to be one of the top 2 at larges every year- an "unfair" disadvantage that could push them closer to a conference affiliation.

  I'm not sure that would be any harder for them to make the playoff... -- Gobbler-100 10/21/2018 11:49PM
  This year could be the year playoff expansion fever hits. -- goldendomer 10/21/2018 4:38PM
  I disagree -- Vippie1 10/23/2018 10:46AM
  It seems like this is a year that should argue for playoff contraction. -- Gobbler-100 10/22/2018 12:23AM
  Hope not. Four is enough. -- EDGEMAN 10/21/2018 5:23PM
  Or only conference winners get in -- Mercury 10/21/2018 3:42PM
  Why do you want to expand the playoff? -- Hokie `04 10/21/2018 1:19PM
  If they're going to have a playoff, there should be auto-qualifiers. -- Gobbler-100 10/22/2018 12:05AM
  Auto-qualifiers is a junk method in today’s landscape -- Colonel Jessup 10/22/2018 4:56PM
  Point of order: by definition they wouldn't be lesser deserving. -- Gobbler-100 10/23/2018 01:53AM
  Issue is with that pre-determined process -- Colonel Jessup 10/23/2018 6:48PM
  Unlikely that it will cause ND to alter its position -- TerryD 10/21/2018 12:38PM
  For now, yes -- RTFC 10/29/2018 01:25AM
  Push them closer to a conference affiliation -- 33laszlo99 10/21/2018 11:05AM
  Well -- Vippie1 10/21/2018 11:57AM
  Maybe for, like, one lengthy TV contract. But not for the long haul. -- Gobbler-100 10/21/2018 11:47PM
