What's this?

Explain to me how the PAC is better off with 12 when they won't get byes

like the SEC and ND. Yes by not having to play a Conference Championship game, in essence ND gets a bye. Not only that, but when do play the top rated teams are on a bye. That's the sweetest deal you could possibly ask for.

I think the SEC and ND snuck this through and for some reason the other conferences could not see what the two of you did for yourselves. I was screaming that immediately and no one listened. However, when Texas and Oklahoma got leaked (thank you Texas A&M), the cat got of the bag and now everyone knows that you two are just trying to look out for yourselves and not college football. Read Bowlsby's quote in the article you posted, he voted for it because he thought it was good for college football...but not now, no way!

Here is how this is going to go down... -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 4:22PM

The games is a non-starter. I do believe that ESPN will throw more -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 4:36PM

I know. My post was a TIC post. If JS was still the ACC commish -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 7:44PM

True ** -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 11:09PM

All they have to do it come up with SEC level money, and we'll vote... -- EDGEMAN 09/22/2021 6:57PM

SEC/ND won't support 8 Team CFP with Qualifiers. -- HOO86 09/22/2021 12:16PM

ND and the SEC will not accept that model. -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 12:27PM

And everyone else will not except their proposal. So here we are. ** -- HOO86 09/22/2021 12:29PM

At the end of the day -- Vippie1 09/22/2021 2:27PM

I think you are not giving the SEC/ESPN enough -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 3:50PM

SEC holds major cards, but they cannot become NASCAR. Im with @Vippie1 -- HboroughHokie 09/22/2021 5:37PM

True. Apparently the G5 have more say in this too than I thought. -- HOO86 09/22/2021 2:30PM

I think after the anger wears off the playoff will go to 12 ** -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 12:35PM

IDK, Brutus and Judas still have image problems -- daveinop 09/22/2021 1:46PM

It doesn't need to be any more than 4. -- HOO86 09/22/2021 12:38PM

It is going to (12). The only question is -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 12:49PM

One no vote and it won't be 12. ** -- Stech 09/22/2021 1:08PM

Oh I get it - but it will get to 12 eventually it is just a question of -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 2:08PM

I believe they will wait till 2025 ** -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 12:51PM

Why wouldn’t the majority of Conferences just vote 4 highest ranked Conf’s? -- Stech 09/22/2021 11:36PM

The Big loses an opportunity to get multiple teams in the playoff. -- goldendomer 09/23/2021 01:08AM

The Conference Championship games would essence become the playoff, I know -- Stech 09/23/2021 06:42AM

They'll wait to try again, but will not be surprised what SEC ND are doing, -- Stech 09/22/2021 1:12PM

Eventually access and money will rule the day. The big and the Pac will -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 1:15PM

Explain to me how the PAC is better off with 12 when they won't get byes -- Stech 09/22/2021 1:24PM

They will agree to auto-bids in the 12 model. The 8 model is a firm no -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 1:25PM

Which is why nothing happens until 2025. -- Hokester 09/22/2021 6:23PM

They could... I thought that the vote had to be unanimous? ** -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 6:28PM

It only has to be unanimous to alter the current deal that expires in 2025. -- tarheelblue 09/22/2021 6:48PM

Well they should just wait then... Why rush? ** -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 6:47PM

Exactly why I've been saying the playoff likely won't expand before 2026. ** -- tarheelblue 09/22/2021 6:49PM

I advocate for that also. I do not think it will change the outcome -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 7:05PM

I'm still not convinced it will go to 12 in 2026. -- tarheelblue 09/22/2021 8:09PM

I like the top 8. I like a straight 8 but believe 4 cc locked spots is -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 10:35PM

The CFP is about declaring a National Champion, not having a tournament. -- HOO86 09/22/2021 1:34PM

Yep. 12 is a joke, and little more than a money grab. ** -- reestuart 09/22/2021 2:46PM

Considering there has never been more than 3 teams during any... -- EDGEMAN 09/22/2021 2:51PM

Yeah, my interest would be next to zero in a 12-teamer. ** -- reestuart 09/22/2021 2:54PM

No way they get 10 champions and 2 at-large. -- tarheelblue 09/22/2021 2:01PM

Winner, winner!!! For some reason, fans think that you have to have a -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 2:00PM

The B1G & PAC12 want it, but only if no extra games on ESPN. -- HOO86 09/22/2021 1:21PM

That is why I believe 12 will not happen till the contract expires -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 1:23PM

If they don't have the votes, they'll have to. -- HOO86 09/22/2021 1:09PM

I do also.. No rush to expand, but I believe the alliance will eventually -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 1:13PM

I agree on the amount of games. But 12 or 8 (with no auto's) is coming -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 12:40PM

Yep, and anyone that was naive enough to think that -- 133193Hokie 09/22/2021 12:51PM

Andy Staples hot take -- goldendomer 09/22/2021 12:29PM

Fine have a 8 team playoff w/out SEC & ND -- Vippie1 09/22/2021 2:17PM

Why will it be 12? One vote down and it's done for 5 more years. ** -- Stech 09/22/2021 1:08PM

Explain to me how the PAC is better off with 12 when they won't get byes
